I have neither seen nor heard of people feeding the Rainbow Lorikeets in
Melbourne. Is that just where and with whom I hang out?
The birds seem to do fine feeding themselves.

I know of three near neighbours here in Ivanhoe who have bird-feeders

and regularly feed all birds - Rainbow Lorikeets, Noisy Miners andCommon Mynahs have increased in numbers greatly since this started.

Two of these people have the excuse that they are elderly and in poorhealth, They like to see colourful birds near their windows.

I believe Rainbows' competition for nest-hollows is one reasonRed-rumped Parrot numbers have declined locally - as well as the tidyingof local park areas and spraying Capeweed (another nasty introduced weedbut Redrumps like the seed).
