Lorikeets

There are a wide variety of animals that prey on lorikeets in the wild. The most common prey of the lorikeet include wild cats and larger predatory birds, such as the eagle.

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.

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.

It depends on what sort of bird you would like. Rainbow Lorikeets are very visually appealing and aren't that hard to look after. They can become very affectionate once it is used to the family members. Although there is the need for a Licence in order to obtain one of those beautiful Lorikeets. From personal experience, Rainbow Lorikeets are a joy to have in the home. They would always greet you whenever they see you and they are forever loyal. They are noisy at times, but not too noisy to make the neighbours complain every now and then.

no they dont

they are small not big at all they are bigger then a parakeet but smaller then a senagle

They have wings, just like any other bird.

You can't. Both male and female rainbow lorikeets are identical, with deep blue heads and stomachs, orange and yellow coloured breasts, and green wings, back and tail.

A zoologist could tell by the spacing of the pelvic bones - females' would be wider. But there is nothing in their physical appearance to help differentiate between the sexes.

No. No birds reproduce asexually.

A Lorikeet sometimes eat clay but mostly eat nectar and pollens and they consume soft foods such as fruit,berries,blossoms,and buds.Lorikeets are not seedeaters they just simply like simple foods.

A rainbow lorikeet is a consumer. Producers make their own food (like certain plants) but consumers do not.

My purple crowned lorikeet is fluffed up today and doesn't seem well, another 2 dies a couple days ago and were seem vomiting, is this a fungal infection?

It lives in Australia so maybye not

maybe because she has heard a noise that she has liked or when she has done the noise you have given it some kind of attention. do you use clicker training?

The rainbow lorikeet thrives in warm, temperate zones.

However, they also thrive in the cooler temperate regions of Tasmania.

The rainbow lorikeet is not native to Tasmania, but has been introduced as a result of release/escape of pet birds.

Different types of lorikeet are different sizes. Rainbow lorikeets are between 25 cm and 30 cm long, with a wingspan of around 17 cm. Red collared lorikeets are a couple of cm longer, and a bit heavier. The species called the 'little lorikeet' is much smaller, and about 16 to 19 cm long.

Lorikeets 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.
