Coconut Lorikeet (Trichoglossus haematodus)
About the Coconut Lorikeet
The coconut lorikeet (Trichoglossus haematodus), also known as the green-naped lorikeet and Swainson’s lorikeet, is a parrot in the family Psittaculidae. Several species of lorikeets now recognised as distinct were once lumped together under Trichoglossus haematodus; together they form the "rainbow lorikeet" species complex. Trichoglossus haematodus as circumscribed today is largely restricted to Melanesia (except Fiji) and a few nearby regions. It is found from Maluku province of easternmost Indonesia across the lowlands of New Guinea, the Bismarck Archipelago, the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu to New Caledonia. Depending on the precise delimitation of species in the "rainbow lorikeet" complex, T.haematodus might barely reach Australian territory in the Torres Strait.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 81 recordings for this species: 1 CC BY-NC-SA. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
