About Sunset Lorikeet

The Sunset Lorikeet (Trichoglossus forsteni), also known as the Scarlet-breasted Lorikeet, is the real clown of the parrot world. Their goofy energetic behaviour and a love for all kinds of tricks make them endlessly fun and entertaining. They also have a vivacious and colourful appearance. However, as their conservation status is Endangered, it is not recommended as a pet.
