I'm Kate, I have a Rainbow Lorikeet his name is Prince. He is about 7 years old, when i got him he was still somewhat featherless, i hand reared him myself and he's my best mate I'm 18 so i am indeed a teenager!

Welcome to the forum Kate. Yay for fellow lorikeet owners! That's great that you were able to hand rear him to adult, I don't think I would be able to do that. .__. (but I would like to learn)

Hi Kate and welcome. Jordan (my 12yo who will be joining soon) has rainbows and is on my back about DNA so he can breed them. Figure he's watched me enough times with the 'tiels he can do the lorikeet babes if he gets any.
