These beautiful parrots of red, blue, yellow, pink and green
The colours of the rainbow for them rainbow lorikeets seems an apt name
Their natural beauty one of their claims to fame
High in a cavity on an old tree
The female lay white eggs of two or three
Northwest to south eastern Australia's coastal lands they range far and wide
Birds of the coastal town parks and coastal countryside
The rainbow lorikeets that you see today
Tomorrow may be many kilometres away
To the blossoming trees in country and rural town
Above the coastal lands they travel up and down
Nectar from the blossoms of the flowering gums to their taste buds a treat
And they are rather noisy as they do eat.
