My guess is they value mating over longevity! Beautiful!

@Olson Rainbow lorikeets will mate for life and can live up to 30 years.

I was thinking about camouflage!

@Olson Ah right! Yeah they stand out even amongst the trees. We dont really have any natural predators here for that to have been an issue. It's the introduced ones that cause more problems.
