Edward's Lorikeet, also known as the Marigold Lorikeet, is a former "Rainbow" lorikeet
moved from a subspecies of the Rainbow T. haematodus to its own species. It is native to Timor.
It has a dark green head with dark blue on brow/cheeks/chin and brighter blue flecks on brow and cheek
with some lighter green flecks on the nape. The collar is yellow (esp. males) or greenish-yellow (esp. females),
the breast yellow (esp. females) or orangey-yellow (esp. males), the belly is dark green with a tinge of blue and
the thighs mottled green and yellow.
Underwing with orange and dark grey with a yellow stripe.
