I dunno I don’t have a lorikeet hahahahahaha Btw. Why are all your birds clipped (just asking)?

Watch my videos. My birds are flighted 😂

i have 3 and 1 is really aggressive 1 that loves making us laugh and 1 that likes to eat and he likes quiet places but 1 of them always screams even though they are like best friends which is weird. I love having lorikeets but some of them get really angry sometimes

He loud 😂😂

They’re pretty insane. I love mine but they’re veryyyyyyy energetic and lively and that can be overwhelming at times. You should learn to love them

Woah, that’s cool!

How did you taught him to talk?

@@clintwestwood3539 Sadly he passed away last year, but he just learned on his own by me speaking to him.

@@CBRadioOperator sorry for your loss 😢

Hi , how did you tame him? Mine is very aggressive because I don’t have time with him sadly 🥲

Bahahahahaha

Nah that’s toucans…….too soon?

It's like the galah cockatoos at my local pet shop. He is quiet and nice in front of customers but I bet once he gets a home he'll start showing his true colors.

The one in a video is a baby, when adults their beak turns red and they're super vocal and energetic

Mostly Gold Coast in Queensland I live in the gold coast and they’re always about several of them them at my house for food and I got a cockatiel and it’s used of rainbow lorikeets there the same lorikeets anyways

@@YTxwell very true I just live in Victoria and see some on the odd occasions looking for fruit most of the time.

@@ezalator9653 oh ok

@@YTxwell they're all up and down the south east coast, but the majority are north of the QLD border because they prefer warm climates and the foods that grow there.

An eve n be found in Victoria? Mate they’re EVERYWHERE here haha. Can’t walk out my front door without being greeted by about 200 lorikeets 😂

I'd suggest the biggest thing to know is that they MUST have a lorikeet companion to actually be happy & giving them that, they will still be loyal & loving of their human & have plenty of time & energy for their human, but they will also be happy to be with their mate & so not feel the need to be with their human mate at all times

@@mehere8038 I agree it is lovely to have a male and female, I am velociraptor’s mate in his eyes lol he is very happy indeed.

@@bji8942 how old is he?

@@mehere8038 1.5 years

​@@bji8942 yeh, I knew it was below puberty! Neither of you will feel that way once puberty hits! You cannot mate with him or lay eggs for him & as soon as he realises that humping your arm is not achieving anything, he will begin biting & attacking you for your failures to conceive. You cannot effectively pleasure a bird! You are simply not equipped with the parts to do that! Your bird will hate you for it as soon as he figures out you're not a viable mate

please don't! They're really bad for them! Please replace them with fruit or nectar mix, it's cheaper than sunflower seeds anyway & MUCH better for them! Feeding them sunflower seeds is basically the same as feeding them straight animal fat, no nutrition in it for them, just pure fat - and it damages their tongues too!

I believe they invaded from Australia to Tasmania, or at least that's how I understood it. But yeah, they're slowly getting everywhere

@@Fivesaflock you mean from the mainland, Tasmania is still Australia. I'm in WA (western Australia) the rainbows are here but seen as a pest and vets have to put the wild ones down. Saying that we have a native purple grey one up north here, and some really cool natives in Australia as a whole. There's an olive crested that my friend owns. They have so much dang personality

with poop, yeh lol they have an aversion to pooping on the floor & believe it must all go on the walls!

Not really mine doesnt and i potty trained him

definitely will when I get my hands on one

Definitely plan on it! Just trying to get the right context for it. Thinking a vlog video would be a great way to get into that

😢😢😢

wow i’m jealous

That's cheap as...my daughters was $830...including cage and food.

@@Kiwi_Tea factoring in the cage was more expensive definitely. Also depends where abouts you are and the pet store etc. I’d pay a million bucks for my little bugger though I love him more than any amount of money

I got for 300 dollars in Syd

it is native to australia so should be cheap there, i live in india, its illegal to keep indian birds here in caltivity, but still you can easily find indian ringneck or alexandrines for 1500 rs that is less than 50 australian dollars

My Lori iz Satan and I love him

My rainbow lorikeet is glued to me. I take him camping with me and he just sits on my shoulder all the time or on my camp chair & sleeps in his travel home in my tent. When I’m walking in the bush he just climbs all over me like a monkey chatting to me taking to me. Some days I wish he could be more independent and be okay to just chill by himself for a bit but then I do like having him on me where ever I go. He was raised from a baby always with his owner, the more time you spend with them on your shoulder while your doing something the better but show them what your doing and talk to them let them tast what your holding (as long as they can) try include them in what ur doing so they learn that shoulder = interesting/safety.

Good! It makes me sad when people own just 1, they NEED a partner!

Cause it's still a baby. Probably a few months old. Wait for a few more months ❤

Don't believe they are available here in my country. Not familiar with horned parakeets. Sorry, wish I could help you. If they're available near you, your best bet is to interact with one first.

Yeah, in the beginning I mention it's a baby.

You might want to try cold water with the food, warm water like that makes them think it's from another bird's crop & is therefore mating behaviours & can make them hormonal. Switching to cold water may reduce some of the fighting between the 2 you have. It might now, bt there's a good chance it will help. Mine also like cold water only to bathe in & refuse to go into any that even has the chill removed from it. I wish I could get mine into 30c water in winter, I don't like giving them cold baths, but it's all mine will take. Would be interesting to know how yours would respond to cooler water on occasion, being used to warm water, would be good if it would have all different temp waters & so be able to change with the seasons, no harm in 30c water for bathing though, sounds nice to me :) Do try cool food though, as it may really help you with that fighting

@@mehere8038 Try warming up the room. My Rainbow Lorikeet likes his bath cold in a nice warm room.

@Fivesaflock i would also loooove a black-capped review. There isnt that much on them

Not gonna lie, I did lol. Love his channel!

😂

lol yup, that's what I've done, clear plastic around the lower half, (no perches above that level in the cage) bent in at the bottom so it drips down into the tray at the bottom, that's full of kitty litter. On the top of the cage bottom wire I have shade cloth screens on wireframes, that I replace & hose daily, that catches the more solid stuff & lets the liquid drop through into the litter below. Easiest cleaning option I've found - not that there's any easy option with lorries

Thats why you gotta train

😭we have a parrot shortage in the USA

Lmao theyre worth 1,200$, 1000$in the US

Haha, I'm from Sydney , where they are as common as clouds, and I can assure you that they don't need to be hand raised to interact with people. If you happen to feed just one of them once - he will invite a dozen or so of his friends over and be climbing all over you in days.

@@dreadlord5581 hmm, sounds like they are similar in that respect to Cockatoos 😅

They are pretty fearless and always want to be the boss.

They don't belong in a house/apartment either, they're wild animals. With your logic, no one should have any pets, the only reason we can argue we should have dogs is because we've domesticated them to the ground. So with your logic, NO PETS.

@@Moose0fNorway Personally I think birds are a different category though. Putting a creature that can FLY in a cage just seems wrong. As an aside, I come from Sydney, where these birds are as common as clouds, and to see such a social bird (which usually exists in very large flocks) alone is another layer of unnecessary cruelness.

@@dreadlord5581 that's favourism. Your logic doesn't rely on the animal being able to fly or not. You're just adding that layer to justify having other pets.

@@Moose0fNorway Well, just my opinion, but a Rainbow Lorikeet would typically travel around 30kms a day, add the dimension of height in through flight and we are talking about a massive bubble that these creatures would normally roam - you simply cannot say that keeping them in a typical home cage, or even a home aviary is anything but cruel - especially to a species as intelligent as Parrots. As for the comparison to other pets - If people kept cats or dogs in a cage they would be reported to animal welfare agencies.

@@dreadlord5581 Do you know how far wolves and wild cats travel in a day? Do you know why dogs have to be trained to not piss inside the house? And sure, over several thousands of years, we've managed to selectively breed wolves into something completely different than what they originally were, but they still need way longer trips than what the average dog owner is capable to even start comparing itself to what they would have done in the wild. But you're ok with that, because you like having those as pets. And there's lots of people who keep their dogs in cages. Not all day though, just like parrot owners normally dont keep their parrots in cages all day either. My parrot is only in the cage if I'm outside and didn't bring her. Parrots actually have very clear telling signs of wethere they're getting what they need or not. They get visibly depressed if those needs are not met. They start plucking feathers and behaving very differently than what they normally would.

It's a juvenile rainbow lorikeet (adults have bright orange beaks) and its adult feathers still coming thru & u can see it still has plenty of grey down feathers.

Still a baby when I filmed it, so wasn't as bad lol

what parts are wrong?

@@mehere8038 the whole thing? He doesn’t even own the bird everything hes saying isn’t based on his own experience it’s all just BS

@@Joshgoodwin. it's primarily for lorri owners & as a lorri owner (of rescued, very messed up birds due to their last owner) I found most of the info to be spot on & the type of stuff people thinking of getting a lorri really need to know to make sure they're suitable owners & won't dump it or accidentally abuse it. As an Aussie & wildlife rescuer, I didn't notice anything that really stood out to me as "wrong" in regard to non-pet stuff either. He might not own one, but sometimes it can be good to have comparisons of all species from the same person, as it makes the ratings & info less bias & more useful in choice making between different species
