Description

Unlike all other members of the rainbow lorikeet group, the leaf lorikeet has an overall green plumage, with only a paler lime green chest and collar. With a total length of approximately 23 cm (9 in), it is the smallest member of the rainbow lorikeet group.

Habitat
It inhabits the edge of primary forest, secondary forest, woodland and plantations at altitudes up to 1,400 m (4,600 ft). It remains fairly common, but its relatively small distribution could give cause for future concern.
