Feathered friend with a fragrant twist: The Musk Lorikeet
The Musk Lorikeet, a vibrant splash of green, yellow, red, and blue, isn't just known for its stunning plumage. This medium-sized bird, found in southeastern Australia, carries a unique characteristic - a sweet, musky scent! The source? Special powder down feathers that give it its name.

Don't let the sweet smell fool you, though. These acrobatic flyers are quite energetic, flitting through the forest canopy in search of their favorite food: pollen and nectar from eucalyptus trees. Their brush-tipped tongues are perfectly adapted for sipping this sweet treat, but they also enjoy munching on fruits, seeds, and even insects.

Living up to their nomadic nature, Musk Lorikeets follow the blooming seasons, moving from one flowering eucalyptus grove to another. You might be lucky enough to spot them in your backyard, attracted to bird feeders offering sugary water or fruits. Remember, they're quite social birds, often seen in noisy flocks chattering amongst the leaves.

So, if you're ever Down Under and hear a flurry of chirps with a hint of sweetness in the air, keep an eye out for the charming Musk Lorikeet. This feathered friend might just brighten your day with its vibrant colors and unique aroma.
