Lorikeets are a type of parrot, and parrots are birds. They do not get pregnant, as reproduction is done through the laying of eggs. The eggs take about three weeks to form properly in the body, but this is not called "pregnancy". They look the same when they are laying eggs as when they aren't. In other words, birds don't "hold" their eggs inside their bodies and show a big belly to indicate that eggs are on the way. The egg shell is the last thing that develops right before the egg is laid, therefore, a hen doesn't "show" in the sense that human women "show" when they are pregnant.
Birds which are getting close to laying an egg become more lively, excitable and playful, not listless and quiet. If they have a nesting box, they will spend a lot more time in the box, preparing it for nesting, and possibly being very protective of that area. If there is a male, he may start feeding the female.
A parrot with a swollen abdomen is not a sign of of a bird about to lay an egg. It is either eating too much of a high-fat diet (common among birds with a seed-only diet) or it has a tumor.
Swelling in the abdominal area could also mean the parrot is egg-bound, though this tends to present more as swelling near the bird's tail, near the cloacae. She will be distressed and show signs of constipation, be reluctant to move and "waddle" like a penguin. If your bird shows signs of being egg-bound, she must be taken to the vet as soon as possible, as this can be a life-threatening condition.

Yes you do need a licence to own a Rainbow Lorikeet. You can find suitable organisations that can provide that licence as long as you are able to meet the requirements of the Lorikeet.
A rainbow lorikeet is really colorful, due to what it eats. Lorikeets were designed to sip nectar from flowers. A lorikeet has teeny tiny bristles on its tongue that scoop out sweet nectar.
You don't need to tell anyone if a dog is pregnant, but if you want to, you can tell the dog's owners.
