Lorikeets in LA - yes USA

[weagle]

When we were recently on holidays we went to an Aquarium in Los Angeles. At this Aquarium they had a Lorikeet enclosure.....funny place to find one, but I couldn't resist but to go in.

For $1.00 you could buy a small cup of nectar to hold while you walked in the enclosure. I think they said they had about 150ish or so Loris. The most unusal ones I saw were the red ones, they loved the nectar and loved coming and sitting on you to eat it.

I have never seen the red ones before, but they were really really pretty - see for yourselves

WOW, the red ones really are unusual and beautiful. Fancy seeing that many Lorikeets in the US>

We were in Holland last year and at a zoo there they had a big setup with rainbow lorikeets like Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary but all indoors and specially heated to give tropical atmosphere.
