Lorikeet

Around Ohio

Lorikeet

Lorikeets are a kind of parrot found in all different colors. They have a unique brush-like tongue with which they eat pollen and nectar instead of nuts and seeds like other parrots. They also use their strong beaks and feet to perform lots of acrobatics. We enjoyed watching the lorikeets climb on branches and in and out of their wooden birdhouses.

Wow, such detail on the feathers! The blue ones look more like spikes.
