Green-naped Lorikeet

Tanygnathus gramineus

The Green-naped Lorikeet (Tanygnathus gramineus) is a small parrot species native to the islands of Indonesia and East Timor. These colorful birds are known for their vibrant plumage, which includes a bright green body, red beak, and a distinct blue patch on the nape of the neck. Green-naped Lorikeets are highly social and often form large flocks, especially during the non-breeding season. They primarily feed on nectar, pollen, and fruits, using their specialized brush-tipped tongues to extract food from flowers. These lorikeets are also known for their acrobatic flight and playful behavior.
