Relationship with humans section.

As of now, it reads as follow : Blue-streaked lorikeets are considered to make excellent pets. The bird is sweet and affectionate. It loves to play with bells and cat-toy-like balls. It may 'dance' by fluffing up its feathers and hopping. This animal is no longer being shipped to the U.S.A, thus making it harder to have one as a pet. However, those that do own one of these birds all claim they are sweet, lovely additions to the family.

If such claims are deemed of encyclopedic relevance, they should have a citation and state precisely who has this opinion. I couldn't find a reliable source for those claims. Maby a native English speaker will meet success with this task. Correjon (talk) 22:18, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
