166  There is no doubt as to the origins of the brightly coloured rainbow lorikeet's common name. This Australian member of the parrot family is a nectar feeding species that is found in large and noise flocks in many areas of Australia. This photo was taken when a wild bird landed on a picnic table in a national park where the photographer - also a travel writer - was compiling her notes.
