Scaly Breasted Lorikeet. - a photo on Flickriver

            Taken with the Sigma 50-500mm f/4.5-6.3DG OS HSM Lens. Pentax K3m11. I think the f/8.0 has worked better than f/6.3 as in the previous shot of the Butcher Bird.

"Scaly-breasted Lorikeet
Trichoglossus chlorolepidotus
Psittacidae

The Scaly-breasted Lorikeet is Australia’s second-largest species of lorikeet, behind the Rainbow Lorikeet. Instead of the Rainbows’ gaudy coloration, Scaly-breasted Lorikeets are mostly emerald-green, with yellow scalloping on the front (the ‘scales’) and a coral-pink bill. Like other lorikeets, they almost exclusively eat nectar which is usually gathered from the flowers eucalypts, banksias, paperbarks and other native trees and shrubs. These lorikeets often associate with other species of nectar-eating birds, especially Rainbow Lorikeets, and they are often seen squabbling noisily with them in the canopy of flowering trees."
