We have between 50 and 100 in our backyard all day every day, we feed them apple and wild bird seed, they are amazing, we back off feeding them in wet times and only lay it on in drought so they are nourished. Amazing birds, never let themselves get tame, but know we will sustain them through tough western Queensland times! We provide 2 bird baths that they love to swim in. They are funny to watch when they wrestle!

Many people have taken to encouraging lorikeets into their gardens by giving them foods usually based on sugar, honey or jam. However, it is this very act of 'kindness' that can cause the death of lorikeets at an unnaturally early age. The only feeding method we recommend is to plant a variety of flowering native shrubs, such as grevilleas, callistemon (bottlebrushes) and banksias around your garden. These plants not only look good; they also provide safe, healthy food for blossom-feeding birds such as lorikeets and honeyeaters.

The seed will ruin their brushed on their tongues.

This is the Gospel: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. John 3:16-17 NIV GOD sent His one and only Son, JESUS CHRIST, born of a virgin, conceive by the HOLY SPIRIT, to reconcile humanity with Him. By His blood all of our sins are forgiven, and by His wounds we are healed. He has also saved humanity from eternal condemnation in hell which we all deserve. All you need to do is accept JESUS CHRIST as your LORD and SAVIOR, repent from all of your sins which means never committing them again, and life for Him only (not for the world nor your carnal desires). JESUS CHRIST IS COMING VERY SOON! GOD is one: GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON, and GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT. He is too perfect for us to understand. By faith we accept it. May the LORD JESUS CHRIST bless you always.
