Temperate woodlands and mallee habitats of southern Australia.
How to spot
Look for them feeding silently in flowering trees. Their high-pitched, sibilant calls are important for identification, especially when perched.

Year-round, with nomadic movements tied to flowering cycles. Active during daylight hours.
This species is highly arboreal and often forages in mixed-species flocks with other lorikeets and honeyeaters, sharing nectar resources.
