lorikeets have exceptionally long lickers with specialized textures on the end to lick up any nectars or saps they find for eatings.
this is CREEPY! and they might lick you too so be careful and always be ready to cover your eyes if this fact scares you. but know the bird doesnt meant to be scary.

Bird #78 - scaly-breasted lorikeet (LC) [grey-green/olive colour morph]
In the wild, these guys are vibrant spring green, but olive and yellow coloured mutations exist in captivity. You may find them in wooded parts of eastern Australia; often they form mixed flocks with rainbow lorikeets!
