purple-crowned lorikeet

  1. Restricted Range

    Restricted Range

    .... well fairly, that is. The Purple-crowned Lorikeet is only found in western Victoria, southern South Australia and south eastern Western Australia. Really pretty lorikeets these and I think John and Dora were lucky to have them visit their garden. I don't know where my brain is at the...

    After seeds

    Now another newbie landed - Purple-crowned Lorikeet. Rather a lovely looking parrot this one, and very active too, he hardly stopped moving. I've seen that seed spike before, but can't remember what it's called.

    These are birds which can appear in numbers when their food source is plentiful, then vanish for several years. This year they are back, thank goodness!

    These are young birds - the colours on the head are much paler than in the adult.

I thought that it looked absolutely gorgeous as it sat there in the tree waiting for me to take it's picture! I've been back several times but haven't seen them...
