The rainbow lorikeet is a species of parrot found in Australia. It is common along the eastern seaboard, from northern Queensland to South Australia. Its habitat is rainforest, coastal bush and woodland areas.
The parents will care for the juvenile lorikeet for 8 weeks. After this time the juvenile will join other unmated lorikeets so the parents can continue reproducing. Overall, the rainbow lorikeet remains widespread and often common. According to the annual Birdlife Australia census, it is the most commonly observed bird in Australia. It is therefore considered to be of least concern by BirdLife International. The status for some localised subspecies is more precarious, being threatened by habitat loss and capture for the parrot trade.
