Suspended aviaries around 3.5 metres long are the prefered accomodation. Little Lorikeets are plentiful within their range wherever a suitable food source is available, but they have not adapted well to human habitation and are seldom seen within our cities. The Australians have been doing the mutations the longest. I have no record of mutations occurring in this lorikeet.return to top. Management.

The most common of the colour mutations associated with Lories are described The rarest colour mutation in Scalies, the blue, has also never been bred Like all our Australian lorikeets, the Rainbow is mainly nomadic, moving in search of its food sources of pollen, nectar, fruits, seeds, vegetable matter, and a few insects. Several mutations of the Rainbow Lorikeet have occured. The editorial is interesting - These birds are much easier for raptors and other predators to select from a split males and normal males.
