The '''sunset lorikeet''' ('''''Trichoglossus forsteni'''''), also known as the '''scarlet-breasted lorikeet''' or '''Forsten's lorikeet''', is a species of [[parrot]] that is [[Endemism|endemic]] to the [[Indonesia]]n islands of [[Bali]], [[Lombok]], [[Sumbawa]], [[Tanah Jampea]] (between [[Sulawesi]] and [[Flores]]), and [[Kalaotoa]] (between Sulawesi and Flores). It was previously considered a [[subspecies]] of the [[rainbow lorikeet]],<ref name=JuniperParr>Juniper, T., & M. Parr (1998). ''A Guide to the Parrots of the World.'' Pica Press. {{ISBN|1-873403-40-2}}</ref> but following a review in 1997,<ref>[[Richard Schodde|Schodde, R.]] & [[Ian J. Mason|I. J. Mason]] (1997). ''Zoological Catalogue of Australia, Volume 37, Part 2: Aves (Columbidae to Coraciidae).'' Australian Biological Resources Study. {{ISBN|0-643-06037-5}}</ref> it is increasingly treated as a separate species.<ref name=H&M>Dickinson, E. C. (editor) (2003). ''The Howard and Moore Complete Checklist of the Birds of the World.'' 3d edition. Christopher Helm. {{ISBN|0-7136-6536-X}}</ref><ref>Gill, F., M. Wright, & D. Donsker (2009). ''[http://www.worldbirdnames.org/ IOC World Bird Names].'' Version 2.1. Accessed 20-06-2009</ref>

In addition to the [[nominate subspecies]] from Sumbawa, it includes the subspecies ''mitchellii'' ("Mitchell's lorikeet") from Bali and Lombok, ''djampeanus'' ("Djampea lorikeet") from the small island Tanah Jampea, and ''stresemanni'' ("Stresemann's lorikeet") from the small island Kalaotoa.<ref name=H&M/>

It is the darkest and arguably most strongly marked member of the rainbow lorikeet group, with a dark bluish head that contrasts strongly with a [[lime green]] nape and a deep [[Scarlet (color)|scarlet]] (most subspecies) or deep orange (subspecies ''stresemanni'') breast, that again contrasts strongly with the dark bluish belly.<ref name=JuniperParr/>

It inhabits forest, woodland and plantations at altitudes below {{convert|1200|m|ft|abbr=on}} on Sumabwa, but up to {{convert|2150|m|ft|abbr=on}} on Lombok.<ref name= Wallacea>Coates, B. J., & K. D. Bishop (1997). ''A Guide to the Birds of Wallacea.'' Dove Publications Pty. Ltd. {{ISBN|0-9590257-3-1}}</ref>
Its small range combined with extensive [[habitat destruction]] and capture for the [[Parrot#Trade|parrot trade]] gives cause for serious concerns. It remains fairly common on Sumbawa, but is scarce or rare elsewhere.<ref name=JuniperParr/><ref name= Wallacea/> It appears to have been [[Local extinction|extirpated]] from Tanahjampea, and may have been extirpated from Bali and Kalaotoa.<ref name="iucn status 19 November 2021" />
