I found this recipe on the internet
1 can frozen 100% fruit juice cocktail
1 banana
1 apple
2 cups 100% fruit juice (I change the flavors all the time for a variety in the diet)
2 tablespoons "lorikeet food mix" from the pet store (for extra vitamins)
1 large carrot
1 other fruit/veggie that I change around (mango and papaya are favorites) for variety
I then put this mix in the blender until it is completely smooth and then put it in small baggies to freeze. The mix lasts a couple weeks and I just take out one bag the night before so it can thaw out. This way I only have to "cook" every few weeks and the bird stays very healthy.
You also have to feed them fruits and veggies whole because they like to chew on them.
A vitamin and mineral supplement can be included in the lories diet. These sorts of supplements are available at most good pet shops. Ornithon is a well proven brand,
- Lories will enjoy the ocassional meat or fish. Cooked chicked necks appear to a favourite with many lories and cooked or canned fish, such as tuna, can also be quite popular.
