Burung mirip Rainbow Lorikeet

Key differences

The Scaly-breasted Lorikeet has an entirely green head and body, with distinctive yellow 'scales' on its breast and belly. It lacks the blue head and red breast of the Rainbow Lorikeet.

Key differences

Formerly considered a subspecies of T. haematodus, the Red-collared Lorikeet has a prominent orange-red collar on the nape, separating the blue head from the green back. Its breast is also more uniformly orange-red without the distinct green barring seen in the Rainbow Lorikeet (T. moluccanus).

Key differences

The Coconut Lorikeet (now restricted to New Guinea and surrounding islands) has a darker, more purplish-blue head, a broader yellow-green collar on the nape, and a more uniformly red breast with less prominent green barring compared to the Rainbow Lorikeet (T. moluccanus).
