- INTERESTING FACTS
- RAINBOW LORIKEET (Trichoglossus haematodus)
- As one of the most brilliantly plumaged Australian birds, the Rainbow Lorikeet has always been a favourite amongst artists.
- Found along the coastline of Australia, except for the south western region of the country, the Rainbow Lorikeet lives in rainforests, eucalypt woodlands, mangroves & suburban gardens.
- With a diet of blossoms, berries, seed & insects, the Lorikeet is a greedy feeder who can consume up to 30 eucalypt blossoms per minute & will spend in excess of 70% of the day feeding.
- Living to over 20 years in the wild, the Rainbow Lorikeet will mate for life & will usually be found nesting high up in the hollow of an eucalypt tree for up to eight months of the year, starting from March.
- Though one of the smaller members of the parrot family, the Rainbow Lorikeet is an extremely noisy bird who attracts attention by it’s chattering & is also aggressive enough to chase away much larger birds from it’s food source.
- Thousands of Lorikeets may gather together overnight in a roost & then make an impressive sight when they flock in the early morning to a blossom laden tree.
