What family of birds does the rainbow lorikeet belong to?

Rainbow lorikeets visit my backyard. beautiful looking and avidly watched by my 100% indoor cat.

Olly, I'm looking at several in my yard right now.

Beautiful bird

Nidsa, that is definitely something to enjoy God's creation is astounding.

Nidsa - That's amazing! We have to holiday in Tenerife to see colourful birds - not sure whether they're parrots or parakeets, but there seem to be a lot of them.

How amazing to live in an area that has birds with such beautiful colours! Living just by the sea in England, we get blackbirds and sparrows, not a colour among them, except that in winter our garden is graced by the presence of a little robin.

Beautiful parrot.
