Scaly-breasted Lorikeet

They are so sweet and lovable!

lovely!

So.. now all the Loris have their one spotting!

Shari.. I have to agree with you.. On my place the Scaly-breasted Lorikeets play with the Rainbow Lorikeets all the time! And they use the same nest boxes!

No problems, I do love the lorikeets they have such character!

Scaly-breasted lorikeets (Trichoglossus chlorolepidotus) are a little smaller. Seems strange they would use the same nest. I had a look at juvenile rainbow lorikeet to see if they had different colouring but they just have faded patterns of the adults. It's definitely a scaly-breasted lorikeet in the box. Check it out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaly-breas...

Thanks Shari_Wildlife.. I should split them up!!

Welcome.. All Parakeets are really very adorable.

The first picture looks to me like a Red-Collared Lorikeet, the other is a Rainbow Lorikeet and the green one is a Scaly-Breasted Lorikeet. All very beautiful and fun birds! Lovely pictures!

Thanks AshishNimkar.. And this one is a very funny bird in the bird park.. it love a belly rub...

I don't know.. Could a scaly-breast?? This 2 birds were in the same nest!

Is that a scaly-breast in the hole or a young rainbow lorikeet?

Nice shots...rare angle of these beauties..!!

Thanks p.young713.. I just had around 20 of them in the backyard trees!

What beautiful birds!

This photo was taken at a Bird Park.. They also look after injured wild life and are happy for a helping hand!
