Yes, a female Lorikeet can and sometimes will lay eggs without a mate. In fact, most female birds can do this. Of course the eggs will not be fertile, though the hen (female bird) may sit on them as if they were.
It's not healthy for our pet birds to lay eggs. Many problems may arise, including nutritional depletion or egg binding (the egg gets stuck).

Can a female Corydoras lay eggs without a male?
It is likely the eggs are "spermed" (for lack of a better term) after they are layed. **This happens in the wild as well. The female does not need a male to lay eggs, but the eggs need a male to fertilize the eggs. The eggs will just stay eggs in the tank without a male to fertilize them. The female may also eat the eggs if left in there with her.
