I don't feed my lorikeets any seeds, you will lessen their life span that way. I actually have a video on what to feed your lorikeet, check it out some time.
Best way to keep the scratches away is a large concrete rough perch, blunts the claws slightly. I found out mine was a girl thanks to her laying an egg. Lorikeets are nectar eaters seed isn't good for them. Charlie has a bowl of dry mix and fresh fruit/veg every day, she won't go near wet mix.
PinionKing Good tips, but a concrete perch actually isn’t the best because depending on how grainy the perch is, small bits of rock can get wedged between and in their little bird toes and that can cause some pretty serious health probs
I want one. I seriously want one. I´m doing a lot of research about them: their health, behavior, eating habits, diet, personality, daily routines, health care... I know they´re extremely playful, they´re bitty, they want to be with you all the time and... they´re messy... very messy... their droppings can be like paint and splash everywhere because they´re nectar and fruit eaters. It´s what they eat. No seeds at all. Their stomach muscles are very weak so they can´t digest seeds. They need a constant intake of nectar, polen, fruits and veggies. Seeds can (and will) kill them. I think a lorikeet can be perfect for me since I´m not a very social person. I mean, I have my friends, but I hardly travel and I like to spend my weekends at home doing things, so I can give him/her a lot of attention; and since their diet is so healthy, I think that can benefit me as well forcing me to eat even more veggies and fruit. I imagine sharing them with him/her hehehehe! And poops... well, I can be optimistic and think that having to clean so much can help me to have a tidier house hahahaa!
Harmony is just sweetened flour. The ONLY powder recommended is WOMBAROO - recommended by the bird vets at Currumbin Samctuary. My lorikeet loved wrestling with empty soft drink bottles. No seeds for lorikeets ever!
Ian Gard I feed my lorikeet Trill pet lorikeet mix, and a purée containing apple, plum, and banana along with his food mix and some water, he goes crazy for it :) He’s only about 8 months and he’s completely tame, he’s driving me mad but I wouldn’t have it any other way :)
Renee Crotty update: I've been binging you're channel for the past week, I actually love you're channel wish you all the best with you're channel and just letting you know I'll be here all the way xx oh p.s I DIDN'T REALIZE BUT YOUR'E AUSSIEEE SAMEEE HERE!!! ❤❤
I have a red collar Lorikeet. Bickie will be 3 in February and no eggs so far. Total goofball, but I can't live without Bickie. Bickie has a cage on wheels, so I can wheel him outside most days. He yells and screams to all the wild birds. It also tires him out plus the fresh air is really good for him.
I got one recently. I found out that I don’t have enough time to spend with him, Im out of the house most of the time and I don’t get him out of the cage a lot. Every time he see me he just break my heart with his little sound. Also he poops a loot and my family so annoyed with that. Idk what to do, I love him too much but Im not giving him what he needs. 😓
Rainbow Lorikeets also bite you if they think your doing something dangerous or they think your in danger, just as a way to stop/warn you. It's difficult to tell & you have to study your Rainbow Lorikeet to see why.
I’m so glad you put up video, I am very excited, my sons friend is giving me her Lorikeet today, I know a lot about macaws, cockatoos, finches, Amazon’s, conures, lovebirds, and parakeets, but I have never owned a Lori, yesterday I went to the bird shop here in Roseville California to buy nectar, it was $49 dollars a bag! What the heck? I make fresh organic food for my birds, I sprout my own own grain, I provide a very balanced diet but I’d like to know as much about Loris diet, as an alternative to the store bought nectar, if anyone knows, please share, thank you for sharing all your knowledge your passion much appreciation
I like your eyes, very pretty! And it’s nice to see a parrot owner that for once isn’t trying to deter people from getting parrots when asked this question. Every parrot owner I see who gets asked this always says how they’re way too difficult and far too much work, “oh believe me, I have 10 parrots, and despite parrots being absolutely amazing to own, they’re just far too much work...” It’s like.. what are they saying,no one in the world can handle owning a parrot; yet, they own 10 lol, what makes them so special- I saw one once that said “these birds are awesome, but I definitely wouldn’t recommend this type of bird to someone who’s never had a parrot before to just run out and get one, and I wouldn’t recommend someone who’s had parrots to run out and get one.” It’s like ok who then? Who can have one? I understand they just love their animals and don’t want people to impulse buy a parrot and then neglect it and give it away because they underestimated the work. Some people need to hear that but then they never follow up with “but if you’re absolutely ready, then definitely get one! Just make sure you’re ready!” None of them do that, they all just end on “nope they’re too much work, don’t recommend it.” I want to get one myself and am certain I can handle it. I’m not going for a lorikeet though, they would be tough for me as I’ve never had a bird of any kind before- but I’m going to get a cockatiel and I can’t wait! Anyway, sorry for the long rant, and Thanks for the informative video!
i have one and hes like a 2 year old mixed with a puppy, into everything plays with anything he can, but hes really funny and i reccomend getting one but prepare to be bitten
I think we found the stunt double for tana mongeau😄Keep up the great work I’m looking forward to purchase one and this video helped me a lot!Thank god I used to own parrots so I won’t do any mistakes as a starter with this one
If you get your bird’s talons professionally clipped (emphasis on professionally) you won’t get nearly as many scratches as she has. But if your bird bites, that’s not a problem with the species, that’s just a part of having a bird 🤷♀️
Hello!! Recently one of my pals has offered to give me they're rainbow lorikeet since they don't have the time to look after her anymore and my budgie had passed away. I've said yes to it and began to do my research on them BUT nobody talks about they're cage and how big it must be/ they're perches???
We have got a Lorikeet as a first bird, we are doing very good and the bird CoCo is really cool we are just struggling a bit with the dificulties with the poop, is a bit difficult because we have him allot out of the cage. Any tips?
Potty training. You have to set some strategical places around the house and show them to him. You carry him to them, and each time he drops on that place, you reward him with his favorite treat. Parrots are extremely intelligent and he´ll understand very soon. But remember: reward him when he does it right, but don´t punish him for dropping on other places; that´ll only lead to him losing trust on you. Never punish bad behavior, don´t yell at him and of course don´t hit him. If he does something wrong, ignore him or return him to his cage, but don´t punish him. Reward for success, ignore for failure. That´s positive reinforcement and force-free training. Parrots are very clever, so careful with what you teach him. Good luck!
Hey Renne its Brandon ,how is life treating you love your video on Percy how is he did you ever get him DNA tested if not you can buy a feather DNA kit involves pulling out a feather ,,I have rainbow lotrikeet as well he is 2n half year old named him Rambo, we both should make them mates an make a new video of them talking
you can tell the gender of most birds includeing rainbow loreketes by feeling the hip bone at the surface,the girls have a bigger gap.According to a crazy bird lady I know the boys are more mummies boys as well.They dont eat seed and they can die like that,they have a brush toung and seed wears down the hairs that they would use to eat.It doesn't grow back. They eat fruit primarily (apple,oranges,strawberry,water melon),so cut them up into a size that is grabbable and see how he goes.I know this becuase I volenteer at a wild life sanctuary and have a fair deal of expierence,Im also full of myself.Thoes mixes are a bit like bread,a little is good,if its all they eat it isnt and they like to chew.
@@michael49777 you forgot chicken wings and chips . They LOOOVE chicken wings and chips , with berry ice cream for dessert . Thou seeing the proper food getting mixed up has 'im making happy tweets
@@jackd1582 Wrong genius, there is NO penetration, the male ejection comes from a gland and makes it's way down to the lady bits = fertilisation. Something you wouldn't know about, you can't be fertilized being fucked up the arse like you. Now piss off, I'm sick to death of doing your work for you, do your own research you ignorant bastard.
No don't get one my mom got one 19 years ago and he is a tiny asshole who poops everywhere. I mean he is awesome but he swears alot and my God he want to eat everything.
You can also tell if your bird is female if it lays an egg lol. Birds will lay eggs wether there’s a male to fertilize the egg or not. It is equivalent to a bird period. it’s how humans get chicken eggs without having to mate them.
Makayla Graham that’s what my cousins bird was doing and I was like why is he doing that lol oh so maybe my cousins bird is a boy we originally guessed that either way
The parrot has a lot of space as you can see, When in almost 2020 so I’m sorry but I can officially say that parrots are pets now and people must go on with that.

I have a question. Has your bird ever peed or pooped to your shirt or pants when he is with you ? Or are birds clean? I have no idea :)
They poo quite regularly but it usually comes off really easily.
Hi! Haha yes he does poo and pee sometimes without warning haha! I always keep a disinfectant wipe with me when he is around just to be safe! xo
i need one
Do you get his wings clipped or no?
I’m getting one in 2 weeks he’s 3 and let the games begin...I think he’s going to be a character I’m naming him marley
The way you can tell if your bird is a boy is if they dance my rainbow lorikeet dances.
Makayla Graham thanks! He doesnt always dance so maybe its a girl hahaa
thats not true, both sexes dance just like most birds. theyre just energetic and love to bob like many parrots do
no correlation between gender and dancing, ya knob
The only way to tell is by a blood test
Renee Crotty mine dances a lot and she is a girl!
I had one in Cocoa but she died by an airplane propeller
Coco not cocoa
Sheps lori mix is better, it's made in Grafton nsw
mines crazy
I have a Rainbow lorikeet (Sam)
Eastern Rosella (Ella)

If you're clip your bird's wings(which I do not recommend) clip both wings equally. Birds need to be balanced. They're more likely to have injuries.
