The other day I found a rainbow lorikeet on the road. It was hurt or something. Few chest feathers message, little bit around the neck. I think it was tame or owned by someone before because it climbed up my arm and only my shoulder almost instantly. I got a decent sized cage, wet foot, dry food, a bell, a fruit hanger thing and some water for it. Is there anything I should know about lorikeets that isn't immediately obvious? I used to have a budgie when I was younger. His name was Tommy. He shit on my easter egg once.
try to contact its owner before you keep it

I just went out on my balcony and screamed, "WHO OWNS THIS BIRD?" but no one responded.

Rainbow Lorikeets have a radically different diet to other commonly kept parrots, anon. They need a hell of a lot of playtime and enrichment too.

Does he have a band? Please at least check if he's microchipped or something. Where are you located? Look on your local craigslist for missing birds, post on parrotalert.com, birdhotline.com etc.
