Question

The Rainbow is the more popular one, but which one makes the best pet?

Answer 1

I have a Swainson's Lorikeet,also know as the Blue Mountain Lorikeet, and she is very affectionate. She was very easy to train and is talking a lot. She picks things up really quick. She loves to cuddle and get her head scratched/rubbed. Thesimplestt toys entertain her. I wouldn't know what do without her now. I usually change her water a couple of times a day. She eats the powder nectar and gets fresh veggies and fruit. She has two cages, one in another room for sleeping purposes. They get cleaned 1-2 times a week. Once a week I take them outside and scrub them down with hot water and soap. The other cleaning/s I use a cleaner from the pet store. I don't have any experience with other Lorikeets, but this is mine with the Blue Mountain. They are a little more work than other birds, but in my opinion, they are well worth it.
