Many animal parks in the warmer parts of Australia have regular feeding times for these birds and it is very popular with tourists. Lorikeets are a nectar eating parrot and their tongue has evolved to include a brushlike tip to help collect pollen and nectar from flowers. They also eat soft fruits such as berries and other seasonal fruit crops.
Lorikeets typically breed with the same mate for life or long periods of time.
These birds are easy to breed and are very common in the warmer parts of Australia.
