The lorikeet is a very beautiful and colorful bird. The colors are so bright that if you see them in a forest you wouldn’t think they were real because the colors glow. Most of the colors glow in the sunlight. They live on eucalyptus trees that are also called gum trees. They make a sound that sounds like baby talk and infants usually do this too. The word lorikeet comes from two different words, Loris being the mammal and keep being a bird.

A variety of different plants, shrubs, and trees make a great home for lorikeets. Just like people, birds have individual tastes when it comes to the perfect place to call home. Some will choose a tall tree with lots of branches so they can watch for predators from above, while others appreciate the safety of plants that grow low to the ground and provide good cover. Think about where you want your lorikeets to live and try to replicate their natural environment as closely as possible.

In Australia, lorikeets can be found in the eucalyptus bushes. But at night where do they sleep?! Well, I would suggest that they would fly back to the lorikeets nest which is usually located in a tree nearby a park or garden. First thing they usually do when they return to the nest is give their throaty call “wheel-oh-wheel-oh-wheel” or if you want to be technical with it, note on call from the Green & Golden Bell Frog that does not last long and then off to sleep for a long day of playing outside, snatching up all those juicy bugs!

Most bird enthusiasts and owners will know that lorikeets are very active and energetic animals, requiring a lot of attention and playtime. Where do Lories sleep is one of the questions commonly asked by keepers and owners. Studies have shown that Lori birds, like their namesake, the parrot, should be provided with the opportunity to swing from a bar or other type of cage fixture. Having a sturdy perch to land on is also important, so they can balance during food time and while eating meals. They also enjoy climbing on cage furnishings such as toys and swings.
