Stella's Lorikeet

Charmosyna stellae

Stella's Lorikeet (Charmosyna stellae) is a small parrot species native to the mountain forests of New Guinea. These vibrant birds are known for their striking plumage, which features a combination of bright green, red, and blue feathers. They have a specialized brush-tipped tongue for feeding on nectar, pollen, and soft fruits. Stella's Lorikeets are highly social and often form large flocks, displaying acrobatic flight patterns as they move through the forest canopy. Their conservation status is currently listed as Least Concern by the IUCN, but they face threats from habitat loss and trapping for the pet trade.
