LORIES AND LORIKEETS
These amazing birds are incredible to watch, exciting to handle, and in general they are playful clowns. Generally a bird that will allow anyone who is gentle to handle it. They are capable of speech, however should not be considered as great or even good talkers.
Lories are found in the pet market in many different species. Most are extremely colorful whether you find the Red, Blue, or beautiful Rainbow Lory.
They are nectar eaters so must be provided nectar powder. You can, however, provide the powder unmixed beside a container of water, and the lories will happily eat the powder and drink from a separate container of water.
This makes for a much less messy cage. You do need to realize, however, that as nectar eaters, they are somewhat messier than birds who consume
more solid food. You will need to provide fresh fruits for these birds daily. Chopped up into small pieces, they appreciate grapes, papaya, mellon, mango and any of the exotic fruits you will find in your produce section.
Cage size and design may take some thought when shopping for these beauties. Plexiglass is a consideration, but be certain that it is easy to take apart and clean. A small bar spacing is mandatory if in a wire cage, and the floor around the bird should be easy to clean or place the cage stand on a mat.
When fed properly and interacted with out of the cage daily, these birds will be lifelong valuable members of your family.
