LORY NECTAR
Bird & Parrot Food

LORIKEETS also known as Lories, are a specialized bird requiring a
specialized diet. Their tongue, which is shaped like a little bottle brush, 
is used to collect pollen and nectar in the wild, which is thier primary diet.

Roudybush Lory Nectar Diet:  This diet is lower in sugar than other
brands of nectars, so switching a bird from another brand of nectar sometimes
requires adding a small amount of powdered sugar to the diet and slowly
eliminating it to convert the birds. Less sugar is helpful to reduce incidence of
yeast infections that lories are prone to due to the high sugar diets they are
commonly fed. Some people grind up the maintenance pellets into a powder or
convert their birds to maintenance crumbles. Lories do very well on the maintenance
diet. Feeding pellets, crumbles, or dry powdered Lory Nectar will result in drier,
easier to clean up droppings, making lories that much more pleasant to live with.
Although some people use the Lory Nectar to handfeed lory chicks, we recommend
using Formula 3, which provides a little higher protein needed for growth in
the chicks and eliminates the sugar that could lead to yeast infections.
