Rainbow Lorikeets

I have a male rainbow lorikeet and a male cocktail for about 2 years,sometime i put them out their cage, they do have own cage, they grooming each other feathers seem get well together, but suddenly one day morning lorikeet attack cocktail and kill him,when i find out it was too late!

They eat nectar and pollen, sunflower seeds and fruit e.g. apples, grapes and pears.

I hope this helps

Different species of lorikeets usually get along together well.

However, this does not take into account individual temperaments of the birds.

No. The typical diet of a rainbow lorikeet consists of fruit, pollen and nectar.

Rainbow lorikeets are not endangered. They are common.

no

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.

No. Rainbow lorikeets are native to Australia. There are no wild rainbow lorikeets in the Amazon rainforest.Rainbow lorikeets live in a variety of habitats, and not restricted to rainforests. Besides rainforests, they live in bushland, and are also common in suburbia, feeding on the native plants in people's backyards.

Well what you have to do is... 1. if you have one all ready then you need to get him/her a partner then slowly introduce them to each other till they are friendly then you have to wait... and wait and wait and wait cause you cant really make them can you! 2. if you all ready have two in the same cage together (different genders) then i guess you just wait. Hint:rainbow lorikeets are not very good parents the first time... or come to think of it any time!!!

Rainbow 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 (although not exclusively).

They also have strong claws which can act as "hands", holding their food. These claws also enable them to climb up and perch on objects, assisted by their strong curved beaks.

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.

Rainbows sometimes disappear especially after 2 to 6 hours when the puddle of water disappeared.

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

the rainbow lorikeet likes the banksia tree...

Rainbow lorikeets can eat apricots.

they will go to sleep when it is dark and there cage is covered with a towel and there is no noise

Although rainbow lorikeets are literally all of the colours of the rainbow, their colouring makes them almost impossible to detect in their natural habitat of Australian native plants, with their colourful flowers. Their colours make them well camouflaged.

I have a red-collar called charlie. He is just over 6 months now and is very playfull and understands certain commands like up, naughty boy, no, where we going and the word poopi but sometimes does accidental ones. He immitates the phone (1st thing he done)My Red-collar lorikeet started mumbling at 4 months of age. He is just over 6 months now and is still mumbling and says these words: Peekaboo, Hello, Hello Charlie, Whats up, what u doing, Charlie, common and up. He says Peekaboo, hello charlie, charlie and whats up clear but the rest u can just make up what they are.

Yes. Many animals make certain noises when they want a mate and rainbow lorikeets are no exception. Unless you're an ornithologist, though, or spend a lot of time observing the birds, or are another lorikeet, you might have trouble understanding what they're saying.

Gettys Burg Flagworks website has one in various sizes. http://www.gettysburgflag.com/gay_pride_rainbow.php Over the Rainbow shop also sells them. http://www.overtherainbowshop.com/flags.htm

One common myth about rainbow lorikeets is that they are solely nectar eaters, when in fact their diet also includes fruits, seeds, and insects. Another misconception is that these birds are unsociable; in reality, they are highly social and thrive in flocks. Additionally, some people believe that rainbow lorikeets can be kept in small cages, but they require ample space to fly and exercise for their health and well-being.

The "bow" referred to in "rainbow" is the sort of bent wooden pole used to shoot arrows. The arc of colors seen in the sky resembles the arc of a tightly strung bow.
