the scaly-breasted lorikeet is a medium-sized parrot native to woodlands in australia. they are named for their chest patterning; yellow feathers edged with green, which appear similar to scales. like other lorikeets, they feed mainly on nectar using their specialized tongues, along with pollen, blossoms, buds, fruit, and insects. they live in flocks, sometimes mixing with other lorikeets, and build nests in tree cavities.
