THANK YOU VERY MUCH

I have a cinnamon lorrie here in Brisbane, Australia, when I put him outside he calls down the wild rainbows, not unusual to see a couple sitting on top of his cage interacting with him, he comes out of his cage ( a large one on wheels) when he’s inside.

[@DaybirdAviaries]

That sounds like Heaven

[@Safa_marwa6072]

I also have a lorikeet and this helped me to understand what i can feed her😊

[@DaybirdAviaries]

You're awesome. I hope it helps.

[@halromalro]

My wild ones that come to my balcony, I give apples and pears. They get their natural nectar from the native plants here in Australia.

[@DaybirdAviaries]

Mine love really ripe pears.

[@danielasday442]

Those are beautiful.

[@Madamjojo84]

Just had four Lorys land on my balcony while I was watering my plants so want to put some feed out, already put water out as it gets hot here in Sydney.

[@DaybirdAviaries]

Oh wow. That must be amazing. How awesome.

[@tidypepper380]

HI ! thanks for the advices. I wanted to ask if cuttlefish bones are suitable for lorises. I'm watching the video from Italy and unfortunately I don't understand everything.

[@DaybirdAviaries]

Yes. Cuttlefish bones are okay to give them.

[@lynxpaws123]

I rescued a rainbow lorikeet today and he can't fly I think he might be hungry but I'm not sure I'm waiting on my local animal rescue for advice

[@bigbiemacaw]

I don’t love cages without a bottom tray..I don’t love cages at all...I have a cageles macaw..well I have an 11 week old chick that before I got was all about cageles but now I have him I see he is into everything and and am thinking he needs some sort of cage for when I have to go out..

[@Chopperdog]

I have wild ones that visit my house for food everyday they are cool little birds.

[@DaybirdAviaries]

That's AWESOME. I'd love that so much. Thank you for watching. I appreciate you.

Hey thank you for sharing , i got mine today and started feeding it bananas and nectar , its 4 months old , should i follow your diet for that age ? I bought Roudybush Daily Maintenance Small Bird Food but i will wait for your advice :)

[@iimsully2578]

Hey a question, can I give her the nectar dry without water ? She loves fruits but she doesn’t seem interested in the nectar mixed with water I even add fruits to it

[@NorthernParrots]

Useful

[@sharkgon6971]

I got 2 rainbow lorikeets can I give 4 grapes every 1 week to them?

[@DoraLikesToes]

[@DaybirdAviaries]

Oh no. Poor Grandma.

[@Judy-qv8qj]

My lorikeet eats everything, including roast beef and chicken and of course her nector , her nector she eats 3 times a day , I make it soft for her . I got her as a baby ,she was hand feed and she is heathy and still acts like a baby .... she is 19 years old so I must be doing something right lol . You think ? 😁🌈🌈🌈🌈

[@DaybirdAviaries]

Absolutely. You're awesome.

[@zarasescaperoute6853]

[@Judy-qv8qj]

I don’t give my lorri any grapes at all , or raisins my Lori is 19 years old

[@DaybirdAviaries]

You've obviously done a great job.

[@josephhall7317]

I'm picking up a 4 month old lorikeet in a few more days and the lady at the shop gives them only green grapes if I take them away as soon as I pick the baby up do you assume my bird would be affected?

[@memonemo3973]

Can lorikeet eat dates ???

[@DaybirdAviaries]

Absolutely. They love them.

[@michael49777]

Your way wrong with your Rainbows. That much wet is far too much for their needs. I breed all Australian Lorikeets and they get maybe one teaspoon of wet mixed with warm water. The rest of their diet consists of as much dry food as needed, 1/2 an apple or pear per pair and a few grapes once a week. The dry food must be of good quality and your pellets are rubbish. You can cut out the wet all together, it's not necessary.

[@Judy-qv8qj]

Grapes are NOTgood for lorri s or raisin ....

[@michael49777]

@@Judy-qv8qj Grapes won't hurt them, two grapes ones a week, and spinich, good for them and they love it.

[@Judy-qv8qj]

@@michael49777 watch your iron, if he or she get to much it’s could kill them , I use to give my tigger , raisins then I was told about the iron thing so I stopped giving it to her she would live with out them and she did , she is 19 years old now , so I give her other thing s that are good for her and of course her WET Lori nector your wrong about wet . If you give them dry food they WILL need plenty of WATER .. I don’t care where you breed them or not you are wrong .. sorry , I agree. With you on the fruits.. my Lori eats everything even meat , roast beef , chicken and sweet sausage lol , she sucks on the juice on the roast beef did you know they need the juice of meat once and a while , that w as in a Lori book I bought she eats roast beef almost every night and she loves it , I must be doing something right , like I said she’s 19 now and my vet said she is in excellent heath , she. Is very active, she plays a lot and talks up a storm all day long . So I will continue what iam doing , so far it’s working 👍 good luck with your birds hope they live a long and healthy life ! 🌈🌈🌈😁

[@michael49777]

@@Judy-qv8qj Firstly, where do you live? I didn't mention anything about raisins, I would never feed them raisins. Iron, spinach is very good for them. A small amount of wet is ok, all dry is better WITH PLENTY OF WATER. You are wrong, your Vet is wrong. I've been breeding them for 30 years, don't tell me I'm not doing it right. Your bird, what ever it is, is doing very well for 19 years old. Oh and the meat is a no no they are not carnivores, a very small amount of cooked chicken is ok but not to much.

[@Judy-qv8qj]

@@michael49777 I live in Florida USA , AND I WAS TAKING ABOUT A RAINBOW LORI , and yes my bird has been eating roast beef for 19 years now , and I know they are fruit eaters , but she loves the juice in the roast beef , so I guess the book I read to give them the juice of beef was wrong too ? Anyway I haven’t time to argue with people on U tube .. you think your right great your right . Iam telling you what I feed my rainbow lorikeet, like I said been doing it for 19 years must be doing something right..... so let me put it to you this way YOUR RIGHT ... IAM WRONG DOES THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY ? ANd so what you have been doing it for 30 years , what’s that make you GOD ? anyway good luck with your birds .. byeeeeee
