Hi Jonathan, I found species in my book "A Guide to Lories & Lorikeets by Peter Odekerken" the colouring lends itself to a Green-Naped Lorikeet. Just like the Rainbow Lorikeet they are often sold as pets.

I have remove the sun conure picture. Now you have the right spottting for the rainbow parekeet and I see you already have the sun conure in another spotting.
Thanks :-)

I see you say you cannot delete one of the pics. We can do this for you.

Dear Jonathan:
you may wat to split your spottings with each of thetwo pics you have. The first corresponds to sun conures (identification suggested above) and the second to rainbow lorikeet.

Beautiful birds. Second bird should be posted separately?

I agree with ShannaB, the first is a Sun Parakeet and the second is a Rainbow Lorikeet but a subspecies, am looking in my books to try and find a match.

Hi again Jonathan, thanks for updating your spotting! I've done a bit of research - I think your first picture might be Sun Parakeets (Aratinga solstitialis), while the second is a Rainbow Lorikeet. Here are some resources so you can take a look:

You should split this spotting into two - maybe delete the picture of the Sun Parakeets and upload it separately as a new spotting.

Hi Jonathan, welcome to Project Noah! Great pictures - are these captive-bred birds? The colours are very unusual. If they are captive you can make a note of this in the Notes section, and you may also like to add your spotting to the Captive Animals Mission at http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/7973...
