Talk:Lorikeet

The rainbow lorikeets in the photo are not in the species list. Are they just missing, or is "Trichoglossus haematodus" a synonym for another species? -- Cordyph 13:45 9 Jul 2003 (UTC)

[edit]
Rainbow lorikeet is a generic term for several different subspecies
There are more than 20 types of rainbow lorikeets, the most common are the green naped and the Swainson's(I think these are the ones in the photo.) Here's a link with a good description: http://www.lorikeets.com/rainbows.htm
