Goldenfeast Nectargold Complete Lory Lori Lorikeet Diet- 25 oz (serve wet or dry)

CONTAINS OVER 50 INGREDIENTS!!

A healthy, nutritious nectar and complete Lory food for all lories and lorikeets that contains much less sugar than many other lory foods.

Goldenfeast Lory Nectargold can be served dry, mixed with water or mixed with your bird's favorite natural juice. Unlike a lot of other Lory foods, Nectargold's number "1" ingredient isn't sugar which makes it a very healthy diet for any Lory or Lorikeet

Nectargold has recently added raspberry powder to the blend. This makes the color pink and makes Nectargold more palatable for a larger variety of Lories, and Lorikeets.

INSTRUCTIONS: Serve dry or blend with your favorite natural juice. 

We’ve had several inquiries from customers stating  problems with switching from competitive brands of nectar like foods to the Goldenfeast brand of  Nectargold for Lories and Lorikeets.  Firstly, when switching from one brand to another, try to not switch foods suddenly or cold turkey. It is best if new foods are changed gradually. 

Wean your bird from the food you wish to discontinue,  by blending the old with the new in equal ratios.  If equal parts do not work, try one third of the new food with two thirds of the old and so forth,  gradually increasing the amount until the bird is used to the new food and will heartily consume the new formula.  

Lories and Lorikeets are very sensitive to sudden diet changes.  Ideally, a gradual transformation from one product to the other is ideal.  Goldenfeast’s Nectargold has far less sugar than any of the competitors, in an analysis it has been determined up to 75% less sugar.  For this reason,the Goldenfeast product is not nearly as sweet as most competitors brands.  The reason is because a large percentage of the dried fruit we use in Nectargold is freeze- dried raspberries, which is not the sweetest of fruits.   

Should you not have any food remaining from the former diet,  and your bird does not readily eat the Goldenfeast Nectargold, purchase either 6X or 10X  sugar. Add  1 tablespoon of either sugar type to every 5 tablespoons  of Nectargold.   If this is not effective, add 1 tablespoon sugar to 4 tablespoons of Nectargold and so on. Always allow your bird some time to see if it takes to the change(s).  

If the change with the sugar is effective,  continue to feed while very gradually decreasing the amount of sugar until you are certain the Lorikeet is comfortable with the taste.  Another option, naturally, is to blend the Nectargold with fruit juice, mashed fruit, etc.  Experiment with different types (orange, apple, peach, banana, etc. until your bird is content with the formulation.  

Also note that varied species of Lories & Lorikeets have different diet requirements. Examples of those diets in their native Australia, New Guinea and the like, as written in Parrots of the World are the following: Cultivated fruits, especially apples and pears, maize & sorghum crops-preferably in their unripe ‘milky grain’ stage; pollen and nectar from Eucalyptus, berries, other seeds, leaf buds, insects and their larvae.
