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.

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 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.

Beautiful parrot.
