Spotted
The Iris Lorikeet is a striking, predominantly green parrot with a prominent red and orange face, endemic to the island of Timor.
Where to spot
Forests and forest edges on the island of Timor (Indonesia and East Timor).
How to spot
Look for fast-flying birds in flowering trees. Their high-pitched, chattering calls are characteristic and help locate them.
When to spot
Year-round, active throughout the day, often in small groups.
Its bright 'iris' pattern on its face, resembling the vibrant colors of an iris flower, gives this lorikeet its common name.
