Rainbow Lorikeet's can lay 2 to 3 small eggs that takes about 25 days to hatch. They live ten to twenty years and grow up to 25 to 30 centimeters. They can weight 75 to 157 grams.(about 5.5 oz.) They make there nests by chewing a whole in a hollow eucalypt tree.
Rainbow Lorikeet's color are red, blue, green, orange, yellow. The red is located beck. The blue is on the head and belly. The green part is on the wings, tail, and back. Also have a orange yellow breast. There colors are so bright because there easy to be spotted and they also don't talk like Parrots do. You can tell the different of the sex because male Lorikeet's are slightly larger and also the other way is by preforming a DNA test using droppings or feathers.
