This is a common reason for many health problems. Lorikeets have highly specialised dietary needs. Your bird's health depends on how well it is fed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat should I feed my Lorikeet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLorikeets eat nectar and pollen in the wild. They will also eat soft foods like fruits, berries, blossoms, and buds. They do not eat seeds in the wild.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLorikeets are among the most specialised of all the parrots in their feeding habits and digestive system. These birds have a narrow beak devoid of sawing notches and their tongue has a weird end that resembles a brush. This tongue tipped with elongated papillae is an anatomical modification for collecting the bird‘s dietary staples of pollen, nectar, and the juices of flowers, tree sap, and the flesh of soft over-ripe fruit. Nectar and pollen are the main parts of lorikeets' special energy-rich and low-bulk diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey also have high energy requirements and the brush tongue allows them to collect a lot of pollen to cover their caloric needs. In view of the rapid energy turnover and the specialised digestive system, lorikeets' diet must be rich in protein. To enable the protein to be fully utilised in spite of fast metabolism, it should already be in its basic constituents – amino acids. Vitamins and provitamins are essential for good health, and all the dietary ingredients from the nutritive carbohydrates, proteins and fats to the active substances vitamins, macro and micro mineral elements must be in a well-balanced ratio to complement each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNekton-Lori is the liquid food for lorikeets that naturally feed off flower nectar, plant sap, and pollen. The composition of Nekton-Lori's high-quality ingredients is balanced to mimic the natural diet of lorikeets. It is one of the best wet food mixes for lorikeets and is a complete diet for these birds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNekton-Lori lorikeet food takes into account the special structure of these birds' digestive tracts, broken down proteins (present as amino acids) and focuses on the direct availability of easy to digest carbohydrates. An optimum mixture is the results of over 100 individual components supplemented by specific fatty acids and enriched with all essential substances (vitamins, trace elements) as well as minerals and major elements.
