Massena's lory

Trichoglossus haematodus massena

Description:

I suspect, although google says rainbow lorikeet that this is some sort of subspecies as its coloration is slightly different from the Australian version.

Notes:

This bird was held captive. Native to the area they are quite frequently trapped by the local community and held as pets. We would often see them flying across the mangroves in flocks of several birds.
