How do you tell a female and male rainbow lorikeet apart?

The most obvious way to tell a female and male rainbow lorikeet apart is by their plumage, which is typically brighter and more vibrant in males.

Male rainbow lorikeets have a reddish-orange head and chest with a blue back and wings. They also have a yellow underbelly and a black beak.

Female rainbow lorikeets, on the other hand, have a greenish-yellow head and chest with a blue-green back and wings. They also have a pale yellow underbelly and a black beak.

In addition to their plumage, male and female rainbow lorikeets can also be distinguished by their size. Males are typically larger than females, with an average length of 30 cm, while females are typically around 25 cm long.

Finally, male and female rainbow lorikeets can be distinguished by their behavior. Males are typically more vocal and active than females, and they are more likely to engage in courtship displays.
