Rainbow Lorikeets live off nectar mostly and water they find in leaves. They will fly up to 50 kilometers, (31 miles), to find food and even develop a flight pattern that they follow everyday. During the winter seasons when the food is scarce they will eat fruits that are laid out for them by people. At the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary in Queensland, the visitors are asked to hold food out for the birds when they arrive in groups of hundreds at around 4pm. They will perch on people’s arms and heads to be fed.

Rainbow Lorikeets make very good pets because they can be tamed so easily and have a fun natured temperament.

    Fantastic shot. I often combine art and writing and I enjoyed your text on these birds with vibrant beautiful colors. Photographs of animals or birds in their natural habitat are fascinating and this is an outstanding shot to share with all of us
    who don’t have access to your amazing wildlife.

    Have to agree they are characters David, I live a Newport Beach , and the birds work the apartments. If a bigger bird annoys one before you know it they call their mates and belt up the bigger birds. They are very sociable and will bring their babies to your balcony each spring/summer

    They have these in a Birds wildlife park in Cornwall, and you can buy nectar and feed them. The birds go mad and land all over you to get some. Noisey and great fun.

    Nice capture David, and lovely colours.

    I have photos from when we went to Currumbin when I was just a toddler. One landed on my sister’s head, but I didn’t want them near me lol. They are such beautiful birds and I love this image.
    On a side note.. is there a tutorial somewhere on doing selective colouring like this?
