Rainbow lorikeets

When we stayed in Sydney these lovely birds often appeared to finish off the crumbs we left after breakfast. They took food from Alma's hand much to her delight.

"Semi-tame lorikeets are common daily visitors in many Sydney backyards, though many people, ignorant of their dietary requirements, feed them bread or bread coated with honey. This is an inadequate source of the nutrients, vitamins and minerals that the Rainbow Lorikeet requires and can lead to health and feather formation issues in young Lorikeets.
