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!

Kākāpō - a very endangered flightless parrot endemic to New Zealand. Kākāpō courtship revolves around a polygynous lek system, in which males gather to perform loud, deep booming songs in an attempt to attract a mate. Timelapse under the cut!
