  • Lorikeet Love

    You know a Lorikeet loves you when …
    he sticks his nectar-loving tongue up your nose.
    Moments later, Catybug snuggled him up to her chest and rubbed his head until he made teenie tiny squeeks of joy. This is a hand fed infant Rainbow Lorikeet that we met at our local zoo in Lorikeet Landing, an aviary with a couple dozen Lories flying around.

    NO FAIR!!! The Lorakeets that we have at our zoo are totally MEAN! If you don’t have food, they peck at you and if you have food, they steal the food cup away from you. I told the guy in the exhibit about how sweet the Lories are at Busch Gardens VA and he said that these weren’t trained.
    I don’t think it would take much to get them tamed up…if they took the time to do it.

    I miss the Lorikeets at the San Francisco zoo. They removed the exhibit. Really fun birds.
