Rainbow Lorikeets always nibbled the leaves of my apricot tree, mainly in Spring, but also in Autumn. They never ate enough to harm the tree.

Has anyone else had any Rainbow Lorikeets eating their apricot tree LEAVES.....not the fruit but the leaves? What is in it for them, does anyone know? Does ir harm the tree long-term? One friend says her apricot tree died by being continually and totally stripped of leaves by these otherwise charming but too-vocal birds.
Thanks for any info.
