Feeding Instructions

Dosage 20mL/10g (one measuring spoon) of NEKTON-Lori in 100 mL of lukewarm (25°-30°C) water. A measuring spoon is included in each bottle of NEKTON-Lori. 10g of NEKTON-Lori corresponds to one measuring spoon.

Do not use a mixer or whisk to mix the lorikeet food, as the vitamins can be mechanically damaged in this way.

Only serve the amount of solution that your bird eats in one day.

Keep offering fruit and vegetables as that will help with "gnawing" to keep their beaks short and offer variety to their daily activity and foraging. Nutritional requirements are completely fulfilled by Nekton-Lori.

You may find that your lorikeet prefers softer slightly overripe fruits (but ensure there is no rot on the fruits). Cut them into manageable pieces depending on the size of the bird and offer a fruit salad. Offer fruits and vegetables in a separate dish to the Nekton-Lori.

Storage

In hot temperatures, the food can become acidified. Keep containers clean and use fresh clean water. When it's hot, we recommend feeding half as much twice a day to prevent spoilage.

NEKTON-Lori lorikeet food should be stored dry and out of sunlight, between 15° and 25°C.

Do not store in the fridge as the additional moisture in the fridge can damage the food additives and clump up the powder.

Nutrition is commonly neglected with pet birds. 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.

What should I feed my Lorikeet?

Lorikeets 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.

Lorikeets 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.

They 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.

Nekton-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.

Nekton-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. No other feed has to be supplied.

Do not supplement with other vitamins while feeding Nekton-Lori as it is already fortified with vitamins and minerals.

Do not give to sensitive species of lorikeet (eg, plum-faced lorikeet), instead they would need NEKTON-Nektar-Plus.
