Playful Rainbow Lorikeet
Rainbow Lorikeets are playful and energetic as they dart and twist between branches, sometimes hanging upside down as they use their special brush-tipped tongues to feed on nectar and pollen.
“Being playful is when we tell jokes, sing, dance, and laugh together. It also means not taking yourself too seriously and just having fun.”
– O’Sullivan Beach Primary School Student
“Rainbow Lorikeets show us how to be playful, they swing upside down, splash in water, play chasey, make loud calls, and invent games with sticks, seeds, or leaves.”
– O’Sullivan Beach Primary School Student
This initiative is funded by Preventive Health SA and delivered by Nature Play SA.
Resource developed with students from O’Sullivan Beach Primary School and Southern Montessori School.
