Rainbow lorikeets are curious and active birds. They have a colorful appearance. The head is blue, the chest yellow and red-orange, the beak red and the feathers and tail are dark green in color. When the bird flies, you can clearly see that even the inside of the wings is beautifully colored red and yellow. You may notice that some birds have bald spots or messier plumage. That's because they like to snuggle with each other a lot.
In Lori Landing, the rainbow lorises fly freely among the walking visitors. It is even possible to feed the lories a cup of nectar. The birds even come to sit on your hands, which makes a visit to the Lori Landing a unique experience.
