Rainbow Landings
Old 06-09-2008

I just saw a post on feeding animals and this came to mind, does this exhibit actually work for guests are the lorikeets that tame that they eat out of your hand

the only negative affect about this exhibit is that its not really a rare animal and seems a bit of a waste of such a large aviary, are there other birds other than rainbow lorikeets?

Aren't there a few 'Rainbow Landings' around the world? I seem to remember there being one at Busch Gardens...

Along with the lorikeets are Victoria crowned pigeon, blue faced honeyeater and a few species of other pigeon too.
There are also a pair of long nosed potoroo in the exhibit

You can't beat Currummbin Sanctuaries Rainbow Landing because the birds are free range and drop in for a feed.
