Edinburgh Zoo

Rainbow Landings is our new and exciting interactive walk-through rainbow lorikeet exhibit, the largest of its kind in Europe.

This amazing exhibit is home to a flock of up to 50 beautiful birds and delivers some 'up close and personal' experiences for our visitors. Nectar is available for purchase so you can have these inquisitive, colourful birds perch on you to have a drink.  The exhibit is also home to some endangered birds such as the blue-faced honeyeater and the long-nosed potoroo, a small marsupial native to Australia.

• Rainbow lorikeets are found in Australia living in heaths, forests, rainforests, parks and woodland 
   
• Both male and female rainbow lorikeets are similar in colour
   
• Rainbow lorikeets pair and mate for life
   
• Their strongly-gripping feet allow them to feed hanging upside-down
   
• Rainbow lorikeets gather together in large flocks and roost together at night
