RAINBOW LORIKEETS
(Trichoglossus muluccanus)


The Rainbow Lorikeets pictured at top were photographed in the Adelaide Parklands, Australia.   
It was submitted to the Guardian newspaper's 'Wildlife on your Doorstep' feature last month.
It's no surprise that this colourful, true parrot is the most commonly observed bird in Australia.
