Where to spot
Tropical and subtropical woodlands and forests of northern Australia.
How to spot
Look for small, fast-flying birds feeding in flowering trees, especially eucalypts. Listen for their high-pitched, twittering calls.
When to spot
Year-round, but movements are highly dependent on local flowering conditions. Most active during daylight.

This lorikeet is highly nomadic, moving in response to the flowering of eucalyptus and other native trees, which provide its primary food source.
