A trio in a queerplatonic relationship! A quoiromantic lorikeet, a pomosexual Sinosaurus, and a questioning Foro!

Propaganda for the rainbow lorikeet:

One of THE backyard birds of Australia. The most common bird sighted in the official Aussie Bird Count for several years running. They're full of personality and bring all the colour to cities on the east coast 🌈

Leaf lorikeet/ Flores lorikeet (Trichoglossus weberi)

Endemic to the Indonesian island of Flores, the leaf lorikeet was considered a subspecies of the rainbow lorikeet up until very recently. Because its range is so specific, there's concern about its future. Despite being a common sight on the island, it's thought that it has been decreasing in population.
