Description
The Green-naped Rainbow Lorikeet is one of the most colorful members of the parrot family. It is almost impossible to tell the difference between a lorikeet and a lory although some say the lorikeet has a longer tail than the lori. Also, the lorikeet has a pointed tail while the lori’s tail is rounded. The lorikeets and the lorys have a “brushlike” tongue that is used for eating fruits, flowers, nectars, and pollens.These birds are very colorful, from 6-11 inches including the tail. The sub-adults have a dark brown beak and brown irises. The beak turns red as they mature. Life span is 15 or more years, they mature at 1-2 years. Reaches up to 10 inches in length including the tail.
Make sure you give them lots of toys, swings, and perches since they are very active and love to play because In the wild they spend most of their time in flocks. A roomy cage is required unless the bird is to be let out for extended periods. Many birds can spend most of their time on a playpen or parrot perch. A cage guard is a good idea since their droppings are a sticky fluid which ends up outside the cage. Lorikeets are easily bred. Although they are not easy to sex, once they are established, they nest freely and they are easy birds to care for.

I wanted to shout out this breeders. I don’t normally take time to do reviews but. They deserve 100000 stars. It’s nerve racking buying a bird with all the scams going on. They are super responsive every step of the way and I could not be happier with my baby Lorikeet. I will be back to buy a hawk head parrot. They have earned my trust and a life long customer. Please feel free to contact me if you’re nervous about buying a parrot online. I’m more than happy to share my experience with you.

Although this isn’t one of my tiny-tail babies, definitely is a wonderful new addition to our family. I want to extend a heartfelt thanks to Florida Parrot for ensuring arrived safe, sound, and healthy. They sent me the most beautiful Rainbow Lorikeet. If anyone is looking for a reputable bird breeder, I highly recommend this breeders!
This was my first time having a pet shipped by airline, and with all the bad breeders and scammers out there, I was quite uneasy about the process. However, they made sure to keep me updated and at ease throughout the entire process. Thanks to him, I’ll make sure my baby has the best of the best, and I’ll send you guys pictures throughout this great experience. Thanks again & can’t Thank you guys enough 🥰🫶🏾🦜
