The Musk Lorikeet is a medium-sized, vibrant green parrot native to eastern and southeastern Australia, including Tasmania and Kangaroo Island. Known for their energetic flocks and bright facial markings, Musk Lorikeets are often seen darting through flowering eucalypt canopies in woodlands, farmland, and urban parks. Their movements closely follow the flowering patterns of native trees.
