Forsten's, also called Sunset and Red-/Scarlet-breasted, Lorikeet has a dark black head flecked with blue at the front, a yellow collar with dark feathers below, plain bright red breast with no black feather edges, black stomach (all the way to its lower belly) and green thighs with a little yellow flecking.

It is native to Indonesian islands including Bali and Lombok Sumbawa.

The underwing has red and black with a yellow stripe. The outer wing has dark blue interspersed with green. The nominal T. f. forsteni is shown above.

Forsten's Lorikeet used to be a "Rainbow" lorikeet subspecies in the "T. haematodus" species. It has been moved to its own species, "forsteni" - "Sunset" lorikeets. It is the nominate Sunset and has three related subspecies moved with it (Mitchell's below, Stresemann's and Djampea).

Mitchell's Lorikeet is similar to the Forsten's with its dark head, yellow nape, dark pinky-red breast without black-edged feathers and dark belly, but it has no blue or very little blue on its face and a slight flecking of green on its head. The black on the belly is sometimes less extensive.

It is also native to Bali and Lombok Islands, Indonesia. Threatened by trapping for the cage bird trade, it may now be extinct in the wild on Bali.

Macrame is another favourite hobby.
