Australian Rainbow Lorikeets

[freundhund2]

I was wondering how many people on here have an Australian Rainbow Lorikeet?

I am the proud grandmother of an Olive (mutation) Rainbow Lorikeet with a lot of questions.

What age do you start on dry food as well as wet mix, pls?

Hi I am an experienced hand rearer so can offer any help you require.

I read in your intro your feeding the wet mix as a H/R food. I usually feed my babies a rearing formula first & wean them onto a lori dry & wet at weaning. Probably about 8 weeks i start to teach them to lap up their own food. By the time they are 12 weeks they are fully independent.

Hi Pedro

Thanks for your reply, can you tell me if special H/R lorikeet formula is available in petshops.
