[gill]

i keep a few loris and lorikeets and would like to hear from anyone who breeds or keeps them they are lovley birds i have goldies violet naped and forstens and a pet green naped called charlie :)

[PAUL HEARN]

Hello Gill,

I hope that you eventually find contact with current breeders, but the best I can offer is that my Uncle bred the Goldies Lorikeet some years ago.
I would have thought that of all of the Lory and Lorikeet species that the Goldies would be amongst the species to be established in UK Aviculture.

If I hear of any current breeders of any of the species you have mentioned then I will certainly let you know.

All the best, Paul.:wink:
