Hi, I’m new here but I’ve had my two rainbow lorikeets for 5yrs. ☺️ I decided they deserved a cage upgrade and honestly I am tired of replacing powder coated cages every year, so I’ve purchased them a very large, very expensive 304 stainless cage. It says bar spacing is 2.5cm or 1” and I’m...

Hi all! First post here, looking for some advice. My backyard is always thriving with wild bird life, but recently I've noticed a particular rainbow lorikeet hanging around my side garden. It's very slow, and unenergetic. Over the last week, it's allowed myself & my dog (albeit accidentally, I...

So I got a rainbow lorikeet around 3 days ago. He is incredibly tame and the moment he got him he was crawling all over me, he was rescued from the wolf after he had fallen out of a tree and was being attacked by magpies and is one of the friendliest birds I’ve ever seen. He’s still a baby but...

Hi, Hope everyone is good, I am looking for some advice for my rainbow lorikeet. his diet is based on a lori feed (I mix it in with water so it’s wet food for him) of which I attached a picture below and I also cut up some apples for him which he takes a few bites from but usually eats up...

Hi all I am a new bird owner of a Rainbow Lorikeet .He is 18 months old and has only been with us a hour. So far he has been shy, quite and placing his head to the side and observing everything. I want to make him become comfortable to his new environment. What can I do to make him loosen up...

Hi I am hand rearing a baby rainbow lorikeet called Laura who fell out of her nest. (DNA testing proves she's female) We found her when she was 3-4 weeks old now she's 7-8 weeks old. she's recently started flying for the first time!

Hi there, I'm hoping you might be able to help. I'm unable to get to the vet for a few days and worry that my poor Lorri doesn't have that long. He's started to make what i think maybe a kettle noise then cough or sneeze, puts his tail down as if he's doing a poop, then spreads his wings? have...

Hi folks, bit new here so excuse any mistakes. We've recently adopted a Rainbow Lorikeet (have yet to name him/her so any suggestions there are welcome), she's an absolute sweetheart when we have her out of the cage, will sit with us, knows how to sit on our arm etc. However when trying to take...

Hello! So, long story, but here goes: My boyfriend works as a bird keeper at a local zoo with a walkthrough lorikeet aviary. Several months back, a little rainbow lorikeet's wing started drooping. After a week or so, vet said it was getting better so no further medical treatment was given. A...
