I own two lorikeets, so can I give a quick spot of advice to anyone going there. Rainbow loris have very liquidy poop, so try not to let them land on your head. A bit of liquidy poop on your hands is one thing, in the hair is a totally different situation!
The real treat from loris though is their personality. They're like a kitten. Always playing, wrestling, screaming, talking, and just generally being a clown.
I visited Currumbin a couple of years ago, and I whole heartedly recommend it. The Rainbow Lorikeet feeding time was my highlight. You hold out a tray of Lorikeet food, and the birds come and land on you. Alot of people were afraid of being bitten or scratched. Their claws are sharp, but they really don't care about where they land, you are just a landing platform leading the way to get to the food! Take an old shirt to protect your arms from scratches and your clothes from the Lori-poop.
