In the flowering woodlands and coastal forests of southern Australia, these lively green flashes whirl through the canopy in chattering flocks. They feed on nectar, pollen, and soft fruits, their brush-tipped tongues perfectly adapted for harvesting blooms in full color. What makes them extraordinary is their role as tireless pollinators — carrying pollen between eucalyptus flowers and helping forests burst into synchronized bloom. Noisy streaks of emerald and red in motion, yet indispensable gardeners of Australia’s flowering landscapes.
