| Roudybush High-Energy Lory Diet (Serve wet or Dry)
Lory Nectar is a highly palatable, nutritious maintenance diet for lories, lorikeets and other nectarivorous bird species.
This diet is lower in sugar than other brands of nectars, so switching a bird from another brand of nectar sometimes requires adding a small amount of powdered sugar to the diet and slowly eliminating it to convert the birds.
Less sugar is helpful to reduce incidence of yeast infections that lories are prone to due to the high sugar diets they are commonly fed. Some people grind up the maintenance pellets into a powder or convert their birds to maintenance crumbles.
Lories do very well on the maintenance diet. Feeding pellets, crumbles, or dry powdered Lory Nectar will result in drier, easier to clean up droppings, making lories that much more pleasant to live with. Although some people use the Lory Nectar to handfeed lory chicks, we recommend using Formula 3, which provides a little higher protein needed for growth in the chicks and eliminates the sugar that could lead to yeast infections. Lory Nectar provides owners the flexibility of offering their birds a variety of wet and dry foods. It can be fed dry or mixed with about one part dry nectar to three parts water. Lory Nectar can also be fed in conjunction with a variety of other foods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, treats or Roudybush Daily Maintenance. When enough dry nectar or Roudybush Daily Maintenance is fed, the droppings become more solid, eliminating the messy spraying of droppings that occurs in lories fed nectar exclusively. This is a highly desirable effect in the opinion of most Lory owners with pets in their homes.
