Scaly-breasted Lorikeet

The Scaly-breasted Lorikeet is a medium-sized, predomitly green parrot native to eastern Australia, easily recognised by its unique yellow “scaly” pattern across the breast and belly. While less flamboyant than the Rainbow Lorikeet, its elegant markings and lively social behaviour make it a favourite among birdwatchers in woodlands, forests, and urban parks. This species is common along the east coast, from northern Queensland to Victoria, and has also established introduced populations near Melbourne.
