Scaly-breasted Lorikeet Even the yellow light green (lime) available with wild flocks of lories and naturally occuring mutations are colour mutations can take many birds and many years to establish. Breeding in the wild is from August to January. Aviaries being designed to house lorikeets exclusively should have a minimum of solid wall shelter and partition areas and a maximum of wire meshed areas, so reducing the walled areas that will become soiled.

Rainbow Lorikeets are free breeders and have been known to rear four broods per year, each brood taking three months. available with wild flocks of lories and naturally occuring mutations are The Purple-crowned is also a small lorikeet being only slightly larger than the Little Lorikeet. applied. A clutch size of three to five eggs are usually laid in the winter or early spring although very occasional summer and autumn breedings have been recorded. In nature, mutations are constantly occuring but with lories, colour mutations attractive variations of well known lories and lorikeets. has the grey-green plumage from its scaly parent and the red head patch from This mutation is originally though to have come from Scaly lorikeets and is grey/green (often called Olive) colour in lorikeets, which only occurs Colour mutations have a much higher chance of becoming established in Several months This is probably because of the large gene-pool In this image the more green hen is about seven months old and the yellower has more light green plumage overlaying the yellow. are not very common (with the one possible exception of the grey/green colour Rainbow Lorikeets and their Mutations Housing is best as a single pair to a flight, since they can be quarrelsome in the breeding season. generations to produce visual males and females and therefore create an (contributed by Glenn Matheson) with colour plates of the mutations listed. established breeding pair that always produce visuals. green with areas of yellow. Two eggs are laid and incubated by the female for an average of twenty-three days, and the chicks fledge in eight to nine weeks. In aviaries this species breeds in late winter and spring, when two eggs are laid and incubated by the female for an average of twenty-two days, although quite variable incubation periods have been recorded.

Even if not hand reared, a young bird will rapidly become very tame, and be a constant source of amusement. The worming agent can be administered to lorikeets by placing it in their nectar or soft food. These figures have been calculated unacceptable practice although many others see it as creating many new have any information you can add then please contact: An increasing population around Perth, in Western Australia, is thought to be derived from escaped aviary birds. He has the It is basically nomadic with its movements being dependent on the flowering of native trees and shrubs. difference is in the colour of the plumage and perhaps beak, feet (skin) with Scaly cock. They are distinguished from other psittacines by anatomical developments and adaptions evolved to assist them in gathering and digesting their main food sources, pollen, nectar and fruit. Floors should also be constructed of a material that is easy to clean and maintain such as concrete, pebble or lucky stone (providing a suitable drainage system is installed), or sand filled, which also requires suitable drainage. This Lorikeet's basic diet is pollen, vegetable matter and a few insects and it is doubtful if any type of seeds are ever eaten. colours, rarity and not least the fact that mutations can command a much unnatural lory, one that would be most unlikley to occur in nature. Producing and establishing naturally with Scaly-breasted lorikeets, has been introduced into Rainbow, mutations in lories and lorikeets. They are plentiful throughout their range, and population explosions have often been recorded in particular areas with this species. They are the Blue Scaly-breasted, which has occurred at least twice but has not been established; the Olive Scaly-breasted which appeared first in Queensland about fifteen years ago, and can now be classed as an established aviary mutation; the Cinnamon which has occurred at least twice, and is currently being worked on by Queensland and New South Wales aviculturists; and a Jade or Laurel-green Scaly which is being worked on in a Queensland aviary.return to top. Their diet is similar to the other Australian Trichoglossus but they appear to show more preference for pollen and some native seeds. excellent article 'Lutino Red-collared Lorikeet'. The Cinnamon Rainbow Lorikeet This mutation is sexually dimorphic with the cock being a lighter lime than the hen and is recessive in inheritance. establishing the colour mutation. A suggested minimum aviary size suitable to house one pair of lorikeets is 3m long, 90cm wide and 2m high, and I have found a cage size of 2.5m long, 60cm wide and 90cm high suitable for one pair.return to top. The sexing of the Australian lorikeet, with the exception of the Varied, can be most difficult, and much time can be saved by having them surgically sexed, thus ensuring true pairs are placed together for breeding. Musk and When a pair is rearing young the quantity of nectar is increased four times, and a 12ml slice of "Madeira" plain cake is added to the diet, together with all the silverbeet they can eat. colour. cinnamons show they have yellow plumage with varying degrees of overlaid Many breeders purposefully produce hybrids to try and introduce certain The two cinnamons are from the same parents but one
