Found this feather around a month ago at a golf course in Greater Western Sydney. Any ideas?

Apologies if the image does not work or is oversized, it's been quite a while since I've put an image up.

Thought as much would happen, didn't seem correct :|

Didn't work for me either - it may not be an image sharing site. Very colourful feather anyway.

Yeah, I used to use it before but they've changed the layout since I last use it so I guess I'll move over to Flickr soon or something of the sort. It is a beautiful feather, just gotta find out what it's from! I was thinking maybe a Yellow-Tailed Black Cockatoo but the green stripe threw me a bit.

Hi Amateur, your feather looks like this one, I think it's from a Lorikeet, but not 100% sure.

(sorry, it's a bit fuzzy, had the wrong lens on the camera)M-L

I second the suggestions the others have posted.
Definitely Rainbow Lorikeet feather. My pet RL's been moulting and his cage is a mess with those feathers.
A while back I always thought it was a New Holland Honeyeater feather xD
