| Complete diet for lories and hanging parakeets Based on years of experience in breeding and rearing these demanding varieties of parrots. Lories are among the most specialized of all the parrots in their feeding habits as is seen by their brush tongues and digestive systems. Breeding successes in the past few years, particularly with species known to be difficult to breed, have shown that the nutrition must be as close to the natural sources as possible. This carefully thought-out combination of carbohydrates, fatty acids, protein, vitamins and mineral elements is entirely suited to the nutrient requirements of lories and hanging parakeets. All ingredients are in human-grade quality and in such a form that they are easily synthesized and absorbed by the body. Just add tepid water to the powder, stir slowly and you have a complete lory diet. In addition, this diet has two tremendous advantages over other feeding methods: 1. There is no food matter left sticking to the beak to foster fungus growth. 2. All the ingredients are fully assimilated by the body so that the feces consist of little more than water, meaning no smell or messy droppings to dirty the cage or aviary.
