Beskrivelse
Lorikeets, a species of parrot ranging in size from small to medium, are indigenous to Australia, New Guinea, Indonesia, and neighboring islands in the Australasian region. They are members of the Loriinae subfamily of the Psittacidae, which is the larger parrot family.
Lorikeets are renowned for their vivid plumage, which frequently varies in hue from yellow to green, blue, red, orange, and yellow. Brush-tipped tongues have been adapted to facilitate the consumption of nectar, pollen, fruits, and soft-bodied invertebrates. Popular as pets, lorikeets are distinguished by their vibrant appearance, active demeanor, and capacity to imitate noises; however, their specialized dietary requirements can make their upkeep quite taxing.
