Rainbow Lorikeet

| [Note Guidelines] 攝影師備註 |
The Australian Rainbow Lorikeet, photographed in Perth, where they have become a nuisance "preventing native birds from nesting" - see below. A small, fast flying, and astonishingly noisy bird, specially in a flock of them.

Trichoglossus haematodus
Psittacidae
Rainbow Lorikeets are widespread in eastern and northern Australia, and also around Perth. Separated from their natural range by thousands of kilometres, the feral Rainbow Lorikeets of Perth had become established by the late 1960s. In the 1980s, the population expanded. The problem with Rainbow Lorikeets in Perth is that they are aggressive around nesting hollows, preventing native birds from nesting. They have even been recorded dragging the nestlings of Australian Ringnecks from hollows and dropping them onto the ground, then occupying the hollow themselves. |
