A fairly large long-tailed parrot with unmistakable striking coloration. Green with a dark purple head, a red bill, a lime-green collar, and a broad red chest patch above deep purple underparts. Juveniles duller, with a brownish bill. Found in noisy groups, mainly in the lowlands but also up into the mountains, where it occupies the edges of forests and wooded areas. Restricted to Lombok and Bali, where it is the only lorikeet. Gives shrill screeches: “EEEEK!”
