The rainbow lorikeet (''Trichoglossus moluccanus'') is a species of parrot found in Australia. It is common along the eastern seaboard, from northern Queensland to South Australia and Tasmania. Its habitat is rainforest, coastal bush and woodland areas. Several taxa traditionally listed as subspecies of the rainbow lorikeet are now treated as separate species (see ''Taxonomy''). Rainbow lorikeets have been introduced to Perth, Western Australia;〔(ScienceWA Rainbow lorikeet joins Perth pest list )〕 Auckland, New Zealand;〔(Rainbow Lorikeet pest )〕 and Hong Kong.〔(Birdlife Species Factsheet (additional data) )〕 == Taxonomy == Rainbow lorikeets are true parrots, within the Psittacoidea superfamily in the order Psittaciformes. The rainbow lorikeet has often included the red-collared lorikeet (''T. rubritorquis'') as a subspecies, but today most major authorities consider it separate.〔Dickinson, E. C. (editor) (2003).

Version 2.4. Accessed 25-04-2010〕 Additionally, a review in 1997 led to the recommendation of splitting off some of the most distinctive taxa from the Lesser Sundas as separate species, these being the scarlet-breasted lorikeet (''T. forsteni''), the marigold lorikeet (''T. capistratus'') and the Flores lorikeet (''T. weberi'').〔Schodde, R. & I.
