beautiful lil thing but never get just 1, they get depressed fast!

[MusicanoftheFuture]

How long does it take for a lorikeet to learn to talk?

Cos I have an African Grey Parrot and they are very good talkers and quick at picking things up.

[afshin021]

[kbug861]

Sorry to hear your bird passed away. I know how hard it is to lose a beloved pet. Our dog Max had to be put down last June 2009. Our hearts were broken. He was 13yrs. old. I hae a lory, green nape, named Nikki and I lover her dearly. Also we have a chocolate lab named Gracie. She is just a year old. I certainly understand how you feel. Condolences, Toronto, Canada.

Mine's a cute little one,we got him 2 years ago.He's extremely curious and funny,and when its raining and the sir is cold,he even goes into my sister's room to find a container which he sleeps at night.

[holmsatlarge]

I have a year old green nape lory named Nikki. She is an amazing, beautiful and loving bird. I kiss her tummy and hold her in my hands and tell her how much I love her. She is very sweet and tame and she talks. She says,"Pretty baby" when I take her cover off in the morning. She also says"What ya doin", and "What's the matter"? I love her very much!

[quakerparrotkrazy19]

Aw, he's so beautiful! What a sweet little personality too...he seems to aim to please =)

God bless you for devoting your time to parrot rescue...it just makes me sick to see an ignorant person get such a high maintenance creature on a whim and then neglect to care for it properly.

[drummermesev]

how long do the rainbow lorikeets live for ? we just got one about a week ago.

[stevethegecko]

up to 28 years

[barticus04]

It doesn't look very well! Have a look at the other videos on youtube of wild lorikeets and see the difference!

[Nakka92]

you are talking about wild lorikeets, this one was bred in captivity mate, if what you are saying is that he should be free, he would not have any chance of survival and would die of starvation or become an easy meal for any predator -.-' ...

[somethingwithletters]

my old bird pancho is 27 and and look ok for his age but hes loosing a few feathers/??

[AnimeFreakGaI]

That means he's starting to shed abit of feathers

[MillionDollarPetPix]

Very cute video... looks like a happy fellow. Glad to know you are helping these birds.

[cntrforavianrehab]

Thanks. He found a home about a year ago and is doing very well!

[Eaglesfaninca]

He is a very cute bird. My heart melts watching that video.

Do you recommend Rainbow Lorikeets as pet's?

[cntrforavianrehab]

All parrots are wild animals and we can't really recommend that they make good pets. Most families are not equipped to deal with their challenging needs (physical, mental, emotional, social, etc.) which is why there is such a demand for parrot rescues. Lories are more difficult than other birds due to their diet.

The very best way to find a bird is to work with a reputable parrot rescue and find a bird that chooses you -- it may or may not be the species you originally intended!

[skydvr38]

@cntrforavianrehab

well said, when I went to a rescue it wasn't the breed I wantedbut I got the bird I needed

soemtimes in life god gives you waht you need not what you want...in my case, Molly chose me and I couln't be happier.

[russy1111]

@Eaglesfaninca I have a rainbow Lorikeet pet he is amazing great pet Really funny If you ever get one you should train it Believe me you will have so much fun with them

[crackertheberdie]
