Lorikeets, including the well-known Rainbow lorikeet, have tiny hair-like brushes on the tip of their tongue. These hairs help the bird to soak up nectar and pollen from inside flowers, which is what they mostly feed on (although not exclusively). They also eat various fruits, especially native fruits, and they feed on some types of seeds.
Rainbow lorikeets travel and feed in flocks. They can often be seen hanging from the branches, twigs and flower-heads of native trees and shrubs, especially callistemon and grevillea. They commonly feed in the early morning and late afternoon.
