Stephen’s lorikeet  (Vini stepheni)

Biology

Stephen’s lorikeet is a generalist feeder whose diet includes nectar, pollen and fruit from a wide variety of plants, from canopy level in coconut palms to ground level shrubs, as well as the occasional insect (2) (4).

Nothing is known of this bird’s reproductive biology other than specimens with developing gonads were collected in April, and a female had an enlarged ovary in May (2).
