User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes.

Rainbow lorikeets are native to northern and eastern regions (including the southeast) of Australia. There is a small population around Perth which has only come about due to pet birds being released from aviaries. Being adaptable, they have thrived quite well.

They live in rainforests and bushland, and are also common in suburbia, feeding on the native plants in people's backyards.

There is a small population around Perth which has only come about due to pet birds being released from aviaries. Being adaptable, they have thrived quite well. Similarly, although the rainbow lorikeet is not native to Tasmania, having been introduced as a result of release/escape of pet birds, it has thrived there as well, and is considered a pest which should be eradicated. It is found around Launceston and in the northeast corner of the state.

How much is a rainbow lorikeet worth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Anywhere from 40 - 200 dollars.
It's best to get one that isn't as cheap, preferably from a breeder, as a cheep bird is likely from a breeder that hasn't put much work into keeping the bird healthy or taming it. Do your homework and check out local breeders for reliability.

What food can't lorikeets eat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

How can you tell if rainbow lorikeet are a boy or a girl?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It's really hard to know, The only solution really is DNA testing. You can also tell by their personality, they say Females are a bit aggressive sometimes and male birds are more chirpy. I don't know if this is true but they also say you can tell by the colour of their eyes, Females have red eyes whilst males have orange or brown eyes. I have an olive Rainbow lorikeet, I wanted to know what gender he was but I decided he is male because of his personality.

How many rainbow lorikeets are left in the wild?

User Avatar

Asked by AJS09876

It is unknown how many rainbow lorikeets there are in the wild. Rainbow lorikeets are extremely common in eastern Australia, New Guinea and some Indonesian islands. In Australia, it has adapted very well to urbanisation of its habitat, so is at no risk of being listed as vulnerable. A rough estimate of the world population of rainbow lorikeets suggest around five million birds.

How do you catch a lorikeet in a tree?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If it's your bird and is acclimated to you, stay there. Get someone to grab some favorite foods and toys. If the parrot associzates the cage with "home", being out hte cage (conversely, if the cage is not a comforting symbol, leave it alone). Have a towel ready to make the capture. DON'T TRY AND GRAB THE BIRD SUDDENLY UNLESS YOU KNOW YOU'LL CATCH IT. If the bird flies off, keep the means of escape open, and leave attractive foods for it to feed on. While parrots do very well in the wild in most of the US, it takes a while to acclimate, and you have a good chance of recovery. If this isn't a bird who knows you, recovery chances are slim. They're hugely intelligent and not happy about being captured by strangers. FInally, you can consult your local Animal Control about Live Traps if nothing else works.
