SCIENTIFIC NAME: Trichoglossus haematodus

Rainbow Lorikeets often travel together in pairs and occasionally respond to calls to fly as a flock, then disperse again into pairs. Rainbow Lorikeet pairs defend their feeding and nesting areas aggressively against other birds.

Nesting sites are variable and can include hollows of tall trees, palm trunks, or rocks. The clutch size is between one to three eggs, which are incubated for around 25 days. Incubation duties are carried out by the female alone.
