Built-in paintbrush tongue.\u003c\/b\u003e The tip of their tongue is covered in hundreds of tiny hairy projections (called papillae) that work like a brush to soak up nectar and pollen from flowers. Perfect for their liquid-heavy diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e3. Massive noisy sleepovers.\u003c\/b\u003e At dusk, thousands of rainbow lorikeets gather in just a few trees for communal roosting. It gets incredibly loud, and they often pick trees with artificial lights (like near shopping centres or sports fields) so they can spot predators more easily at night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e4.

Not strict vegetarians.\u003c\/b\u003e While they mainly eat nectar, pollen, fruit, and seeds, they’ve been spotted chowing down on meat (like mince left out for other birds) on rare occasions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e6. Mate for life and love company.\u003c\/b\u003e Pairs stay together for years, often grooming each other affectionately, and they’re incredibly social. Travelling and feeding in flocks while chattering constantly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e7. Tiny but mighty pollinators.\u003c\/b\u003e A single lorikeet can visit hundreds of flowers a day, and their acrobatic feeding style (sometimes hanging upside down) makes them excellent at spreading pollen for native trees and even coconuts in some regions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GreatFunBooks","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49132392677684,"sku":null,"price":34.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49132392710452,"sku":null,"price":24.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0851\/6685\/0356\/files\/New_Hullabaloo_In_the_House.png?v=1781817186","url":"https:\/\/greatfunbooks.co\/products\/hullabaloo-in-the-house","provider":"Great Fun Books Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
