Have you ever heard someone talk about a Lorikeet and wonder what it was? A Lorikeet is a diminutive name for a specific breed of Parakeet of subfamily Loriinae। Lorikeets are not found on every corner, one would have to travel the coast shores and arboreal canopies of tropical Australia, Asia, Polynesia and other exotic locales to find this bird in its natural habitat. A Lory will grow to half to a foot long, and live beyond a dozen years depending on diet, health, and captivity factors.
Manu sub varieties of the Lory are considered rare, vulnerable to extinction, and threatened in natural habitats. The bright plumage and sprightly personality of these birds temps smugglers, but deforestation and development of beach and coastal waterways can also threaten natural Lorikeet survival.
Settlement into previously unsettled areas, denser habitation by humans and construction, as well as pollution that dwindles flowers and vegetation will further threaten wild Lorikeet survival. These elements will push the arboreal wild land border to much smaller dimensions than these birds need to survive.
Lory bird extinction has also been caused by predatory animals rising in populations in areas and locales where Lorikeets breed and nest। These animals like rats, may hunt the Lorikeet while it feeds on flowers or perches for nesting, brooding, and mating purposes. The Lorikeet is an enjoyable, colorful, and entertaining animal, but perhaps not best suited to rabid defense against scavenging mammals intent on raiding their nests. Domesticated pet Lory birds need stimulation and the company of other birds and humans.

Lorikeets are frugivores whose differentiated tongue cilia aid in ingesting nectar and soft fruits. Lorikeets feed on flower cover and can flowerfy at mealtimes with an eligible 5,000 species of plants on which to munch. Fruit and flower protein is cunningly sorted by the lorikeet tongue tip with tufts of papillae on the tongue. The microscopic hairs help the mellow Lorikeet collect nectar and pollen from forest flora.
Lorikeets have brilliant plumage and stunning variable coloration displays। Feathery tapered wings and pointed defined tails that allow them to fly easily and display great balance agility. They also have strong feet and legs. Lories tend to be active and somewhat comic in personality both in captivity and the wild. This sense of humor makes the Lorikeet a valuable and enchanting pet.
