A general term for birds of the Trichoglossus genus in the Psittacidae family of parrots. A medium-sized parrot with a total length of 19 to 30 cm. Their feathers are very vividly colored, ranging from green to red, blue, and purple. Trichoglossi are a type of parakeet that are characterized by their thin tongues with brush-like tips, hence their nickname, the brush-shaped parakeet. These tongues are suited to crushing flowers with their beaks and licking up the nectar that seeps out. Many species live in flocks in the trees of forests, moving in large groups in search of food, and their staple diet is nectar, juice, and soft, juicy fruits.
