Media notes
A wary pair of Purple-crowned Lorikeets perched above a birdbath. Purple-crowned Lorikeets (Glossopsitta porphyrocephala) are found in tall eucalypt forests, open eucalypt woodlands, coastal scrub and mallee vegetation in southern Australia. They usually feed in the forest canopy on nectar from the blossoms of various Eucalyptus and Melaleuca species. Purple-crowned Lorikeets are more easily heard than seen, as their noisy flocks feed and move through the canopy in tall eucalypt forests. This wary pair of Purple-crowned Lorikeets perched above the birdbath at the Stirling Range Retreat for a while, checking for danger before descending to drink. Elevation: 224 m. Date added to IBC: October 9, 2019.
