Lorikeets are colorful, small to medium-sized parrots found primarily in Australia and surrounding islands. They are known for their vibrant plumage, which often includes shades of green, blue, red, and yellow. Lorikeets have specialized brush-tipped tongues that allow them to feed on nectar from flowers, making them important pollinators in their ecosystems. These birds are social and often seen in flocks, engaging in playful behavior. Lorikeets are also known for their loud, chattering calls. They typically inhabit forests, woodlands, and urban areas, where they can find abundant food sources.
