Last in a series of ten images of lories by this photographer.

A playful group of green-naped subspecies of the Rainbow lory, Trichoglossus haematodus haematodus. There are 15 subspecies of rainbow lories occurring throughout the islands of the south Pacific Ocean. This subspecies is primarily found along the east coast of Australia.

Very nice find this time. I nominate these parrots as the official LGBT pride bird.
