So little is known about everything these nectar eating parrots consume in the wild. Our diets are based on what we do know how these birds should be fed. We carefully chose ingredients we know to be beneficial to their health, and that are based off of crop contents found in wild birds. Unlike other commercial nectar formulas, we added more enrichment items to peak your birds interest, while maintaining safe iron levels. Flower petals, fruit bits, leaves/stems! Our cuisine diet also contains coconut palm sugar! Coconut palm sugar is a super food loaded with vitamins. It is also low glycemic. Many lory species feed on coconut palm shoots in the wild, feeding on the nectar and pollen. Lories require a high moisture diet, and we always recommend feeding a wet diet, versus a complete dry diet or pellet diets. All of our ingredients are sourced from reliable suppliers, and are human grade.
This formula has all the “bells and whistles”. We added more edible enrichment items (flower petals, fruit bits, coconut palm sugar, leafes & stems) that these birds consume in the wild. This formula can be fed daily or for the occasional treat.

Feeding Instructions (Dry)
In a clean bowl, add 1/3 cup of powder or slightly less depending on how much your bird(s) consume in 4-6 hrs. Best served fresh 2x a day. Never leave old food in bowls or in the cage over night. Dry powder should only ever be used as a supplement with fresh fruits/veggies.
Feeding instructions. (Wet)
Breeders, Zoo’s & Exhibit birds with lage flocks; Mix 3.5-4 cups of nectar mix to 1 gallon clean drinking water. This will provide a milk like consistency. For a more diluted mix, use less nectar mix to 1 gallon water.
In a clean bowl, mix 1/3 cup or (5tbs) of mix to one cup clean drinking water. Feed fresh 2x a day. You can also mix to your birds preferred consistency and feed what you know your bird will consume in 4-6 hrs. Do not re use old food. Do not leave in bowls over night. Wet mix spoils faster in hot temperatures, and may need changed every 2-3 hrs.
