The rainbow lorikeet's main diet consists of nectar and pollen from many species of blossoms and bottlebrush flowers. They can eat up to 30 eucalypt blossoms per minute and will spend in excess of 70% of the day feeding!

(= easy to train using food rewards! )

The main differences between the Congo and the Timneh are their size, coloring and color of their mandible. Most would agree that their dispositions and intelligence are the same.

The Timneh is dark grey with a maroon tail and the Congo is a lighter grey with a bright red tail. The CAG's mandible is all black, while the TAG has a bone-colored upper mandible.

The CAG weighs in at between 400 and 600 grams and the TAG between 275 and 350 grams.

i don't have a lorikeet but i thought this was interesting so i'll post this for ASHLING :)

Imagine your tongue is like a bristle brush – the rainbow lorikeet's is. Unlike many other parrots, it doesn't eat seeds. Instead, it uses its bristle brush tongue to get sweet gooey nectar and pollen from deep within native flowers. Like a young child with a messy ice-cream cone, lorikeets get the nectar and pollen all over their heads!

But beware! Don't give rainbow lorikeets other kinds of food, such as biscuits, bread or seeds. They may become dependent upon these sources of food and become less inclined to forage in the wild. Eating seeds can actually cause damage to their tongue and beak. Let them feed on native plants.
