Howdy all,
Rescued a baby rainbow lorikeet runner 4 months back and refused to have it euthanized due to his exceedingly mischievous nature. Now looking for a partner for the little guy.
Figured here was a good place to start. Any ideas?
I live in Sydney.
David

Here in SE Queensland my local wild Rainbows have finished breeding for the summer and are moulting so no babies around. Try contacting your local wildlife rescue organization - they may have runners in care from the breeding season and may be able to help you. cheers, Mike |

Mate,
That was pretty bloody foolish by me as far as oversights are concerned.
Im in Sydney.
I'll try contacting Wires again. Theyre pretty adamant they euthanize straight up.

Mate, That was pretty bloody foolish by me as far as oversights are concerned. Im in Sydney. I'll try contacting Wires again. Theyre pretty adamant they euthanize straight up. You would be amazed how many people ask a location related question without giving a location  I can understand WIRES policy - and they seem to be very rigid in applying their policies from what I have heard. These birds can be infectious to others and so need to be kpt away from healthy birds. Maybe ask around local vets and pet shops in case they see or hear of any and are sympathetic to not euthanizing. Some of these birds only live a few months before the virus kills them while others can live a good life, although remaining infectious. cheers, Mike |
