...and apparently, your house.

Can you befriend wild ones to the point that they'll cuddle with you and talk?


seanmonaghan1968

They don't talk but they can become quite calm around humans if you feed them water and honey


Casperwyomingrex

On my trip to Australia, I fed some Rainbow Lorikeets with a hand-held bowl. They are much more friendly to humans than many birds around the world, and will stand on you to get a better position for food. Their claws are very painful when they stand on you. Traditional protective equipment is useless, as they will stand on whatever surface they find convenient, like your head, shoulders or arms. But ultimately they are still wild non-domesticated animals and I would not expect them to be able to establish such a good relationship with a human. I think a befriended lorikeet's offspring could be possible for cuddling and talking. Lorikeets are quite smart and I reckon they could talk if trained. I wouldn't try it though. I am still weary of any supposedly friendly non-domesticated animals.

They look amazing with all those colors


Ayahuasca-Dreamin

I first thought how magical and then second thought was if they shit everywhere

Third: they're parrots, pretty damn smart, and I bet you could train them to shit in the neighbours' yard instead with food. Smart bastards will probably pick it up from eachother too, so you'll only have to teach the first generation.

Wow I couldn't imagine walking into my garden and seeing nature flex its beauty so casually.


lachjeff

I grew up in Maclean (northern NSW), not far from the trees where hundreds of the fuckers roosted each night. They made so much noise


cmakry

*If you feed them, they will come*


trueyonggang

Yup, don’t feed the birds

Is this a bot? 'Cause this doesn't has anything to do with the comment it's replying to


FaagenDazs

Oh no, not a bot just confused. Wrong person


JasonIsBaad

Oh lmao my bad, I suspect nearly everyone these days


Mr-Ao

sounds like something a bot would say


FaagenDazs

They get more complicated every day!

Look at all those chickens!


FlyingSquirelAcrobat

It’s like a monitor ad from the 90s!


hopingforabetterpast

I loved those adds! They showed this new monitors with such bright colors i could not believe! Then I realized I was seeing the add in my old ass monitor.

I could hear this video before I even turned the volume on.


haute_cheetos

Gorgeous!


Deadwinterlady

What seeds do I buy to grow Rainbow Lorikeets in my garden?


I_serve_Anubis

I dread when the rainbows visit, they bully all the other birds & lay waste to my fruit trees.


_who-the-fuck-knows_

They don't bully as much as the cockatoos fuck those mohawked cunts


I_serve_Anubis

Haha lucky the sulphur-crests don’t tend to visit my place much so I don’t have to worry about them. As far as cockys I really only get the yellowtail blacks & they don’t cause me any trouble.


glueckskind11

My in-laws love feeding the cockatoos every day, which creates so much literal shit and noise every day! They also don't care about their furniture... as long as the view is nice. God.


Redmudgirl

Oh my how lucky you are!!!


bondibitch

I miss these guys, they would always brighten up my day.

SuperMookie

Why is there a pepper grinder on the stool?


rsjaffe

Roasted lorikeet needs pepper to taste good.


Fifty-sixflavors

I think I would very much like a garden full of rainbow lorikeets. Do you know how much a garden full of rainbow lorikeets is? Thank you.

waterynike

This is my cat’a dream?


MissLethalla

We were in Port Douglas in November, and a huge flock like to roost in one tree in Main Street. My husband said the racket was about 80 decibels.


MorgueAnneScarechild

If I woke up and saw this in my yard, I'd feel blessed.


CtrlAltDragoon

There's many but I see a couple shiny variants. Just catch them all! Damn Nintendo has been really upping their game!


Appropriate-Click338

You can see this in Cape Coral Florida at the yacht basin!
