Description: Victorian taxidermy specimen of a Rainbow Lorikeet in three-side glass case with naturalistic groundwork.

The Rainbow Lorikeet is a species of Australasian parrot found in Australia, eastern Indonesia (Maluku and Western New Guinea), Papua New Guinea, New Caledonia, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. When feeding in a flock during breeding season, the male will often puff up and produce a threatening display, hopping around his partner as she feeds and ensuring that competitors for food do not interrupt her ingestion of food. Rainbow Lorikeets are monogamous and pair for life.
