Hi , neat looking guy !!!! its VERY IMPORTANT he has LORRY NECTOR Needs it to survive has to have it everyday. Also can have juicyfruits and soft vegs [not seed].They like swings and lots of toys In their cage [and foot toys]. You can turn down the lights at night for them . They love lots of your attention You can keep music on when not home.

Jado, you keep asking about food for your lori. Did you read the responses you got in your other thread??? People gave you some GREAT advice there.

Loris are NECTAR eaters!
