* Habitat destruction: The clearing of forests and woodlands for agriculture, development, and mining is a major threat to lorikeets. This loss of habitat can force lorikeets to move into new areas where they may not be able to find enough food or shelter.
* Climate change: Climate change is also a threat to lorikeets. As the climate changes, the distribution of plants and animals is also changing. This means that lorikeets may have to move to new areas in order to find food and shelter.
* Disease: Lorikeets can also be affected by a variety of diseases, including psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD) and avian pox. These diseases can spread quickly and can kill large numbers of lorikeets.
