Hi, I'm from Victoria, Australia and I own a rainbow lorikeet and they are gorgeous. She is one noisy bird but she can be really sweet. My rainbow lorikeet lets me pat her and she always says hi to me every morning I get up or if I had a shower and I come down the hall. she says hi or hello. My rainbow lorikeet is a pain in the backside and goes on these loud squaring matches in the house and every time someone is cooking. Her name is Tweety and she is about 2-3 years old and she is beautiful. They can eat any sort of Fresh Fruit, such as Apples, pears, strawberries, grapes, melon, peaches and cherries are preferred. Try to avoid acidic fruits like orange, lemon, tangerine and mandarin as these may upset their stomach. Pollen and nectar - their favourite foods are nectar and pollen from native flowers such as grevilleas, bottlebrushes and banksias. Nectar gives them energy, and pollen provides protein for healthy feathers. They also feed on fruits and small insects. As some people may think that they can eat Seeds. They do not eat seeds, Because it can ruin their tongues and their stomachs. And it is harder for them to digest it. instead, they consume nectar, pollen, fruit and vegetables. I have heard some people say that they can eat anything, But that is not the case. There are foods that are poisonous to them. such as: - onions and garlic. -avocados -mushrooms -apple seeds. -Peppers -potatoes -eggplant -tomatoes -Eucalyptus spray/essential oils Another thing is that if a rainbow lorikeet has a mirror in their cage they can become more aggressive and territorial, so the best thing to do is to take that out and swap it for a lot of toys with bells and things to hang off the top of the cage with.

... they are a pest and a threat to orchards and arable land for sheep etc and are considered vermin by the wa gov and are introduced birds from the pacific islands in the 1960s as are all " rare tropical birds " including cockatoo { from the new georgia island in the new georgia strait } ... they are not native to australia ... all parrots are the symbol of the coprophiliac cannibals who do not care about mass starvation of humans ... please see my comment above and i refer you to the web page ...
