Многоцветный лорикет

The coconut lorikeet (Trichoglossus haematodus) is a medium-sized, vividly coloured parrot in the family Psittaculidae, native to the islands of Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, and northeastern Australia. It is one of the most recognisable parrots in Australasia, featuring a scarlet breast, dark blue-purple head and belly, green upperparts, and yellow-orange barring — a striking mosaic of colour that varies across its numerous island subspecies, many of which have been elevated to full species status in recent taxonomic revisions. The coconut lorikeet inhabits forest, woodland, coconut plantations, gardens, and flowering trees across its range, feeding almost exclusively on nectar, pollen, and soft fruits using its specialised brush-tipped tongue — an adaptation unique to lories and lorikeets within the parrots. It is nomadic, following the flowering of trees such as Eucalyptus, Casuarina, and Melaleuca across its range, and is an important pollinator of many forest plants. The species has no natural presence in Norway; database records to that effect are data artifacts. In Australia and Papua New Guinea, T. haematodus (in its broad or restricted sense) is often abundant, and it has established feral populations in parts of Western Australia and elsewhere. It is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, with large, stable populations across its extensive Australasian and Pacific distribution. It is widely kept as a pet worldwide.
