"MAD ABOUT LORIKEETS" is situated 15 minutes outside of Gatton in Queensland Australia. Our aviaries are situated on 3 acres of semi cleared bushland.
Whilst not being the most ideal area in Australia to breed lorikeets with temperatures ranging to extremes and rainfall at a minimum, we seem to manage very well, compensating with insulated aviaries, a continual supply of fresh water for drinking and bathing and a good diet.
Personally, I have kept parrots since I was young, only to take the leap to lorikeets a few years ago. In saying that, they have filled a void with keeping birds for me. They are so comical and friendly and such a delight to keep. Whilst being a little bit more work to care for them correctly, they more than compensate with their eagerness to breed for us 12 months of the year.
