Rainy




Rainy the rainbow lorikeet came to visit us. He is just 8 weeks old and very tame. He likes to have his tummy scratched. He might be a female but we can't tell except by a DNA test. Rainbow lorikeets are common in the wild in Australia. There are some in Auckland but the Department of Conservation consider them pests. They like to eat fruit and can destroy crops. Sometimes they sleep lying on their backs!
