About These Birds
Biak Lorikeet
The Biak Lorikeet is a vulnerable, brightly colored parrot endemic to Biak Island in West Papua, Indonesia. It resembles the Rainbow Lorikeet but is distinguished by its heavier dark barring on the chest and more restricted range. It feeds on nectar, pollen, and soft fruits in the forest canopy, and is threatened by capture for the pet trade and habitat loss.
