Touroparc Zoo, originally established as an ornithological park in 1958, has a rich history of avian conservation. Among its diverse bird collection is the Loriquet de Swanson, the French name for the Australian Rainbow Lorikeet. While specific details about the acquisition and individual stories of these lorikeets are not publicly available, their presence underscores the zoo's commitment to avian diversity.

The zoo's dedication to conservation is evident through its participation in 33 European Endangered Species Programmes (EEP). Although it's not specified whether the Rainbow Lorikeet is part of these programs, Touroparc's involvement highlights its broader efforts in species preservation.
