Not quite what this thread is about, but anyone up Queensland way,  wishing
to feed Rainbow Lorikeets in an entirely honourable manner, just plant a
Wheel-of-fire Tree, (Stenocarpus sinuatus.)  It apparently produces copious
nectar and they love it.  (Natural range of the tree is from the Bellinger
River in northern NSW to Atherton, N.Q.)

I have one (plus a couple of other native trees) in my tiny 16 perch
allotment here in Hawthorne (Brisbane) ...  and plenty of Rainbow Lorikeets
in the (summer) Wheel-of-fire flowering season.

Cheers

Syd
