Happy World Parrot Day! 🦜🌺

The Birmingham Zoo is home to four species of lorikeets: Rainbow, Coconut, Marigold, and Scarlet-breasted Lorikeets! Guests can spot all four species in our aviary, including the Scarlet-breasted Lorikeet, an IUCN endangered species for which the Birmingham Zoo has the most successful breeding program in North America. 🌎

These colorful parrots are highly intelligent and require lots of activities to keep their brains stimulated. They are primarily nectar-eaters, getting nectar and pollen from fresh flowers in the wild. This also makes them key pollinators in their native ecosystems throughout Australasia! 💡🌸
