Passwell Complete Lorikeet Food can be used wet or dry ! A nutritionally balanced, maintenance diet for lorikeets and lories.

This is a granular powder that is a complete balanced diet for pet, aviary or wild lorikeets. The product can be fed dry, straight from the pack, or mixed with the desired quantity of water to produce a wet mix. Remove soiled or uneaten food daily and replace with fresh food. Some lorikeets will load their drinking water with dry food so always ensure that fresh water is available. Ideal for rainbow lorikeets.

About Lorikeet Diets :
 
In the wild, flowering plants provide lorikeets with most of their nutrition. Energy is obtained from nectar and fruit, while pollen and insects supply protein and other essential nutrients. The Protein requirements for lorikeets is lower than that of other parrots, partly because the protein in pollen and insects is high in essential amino acids.
 
The lorikeet’s digestive system is adapted for quick passage of their liquid diet, resulting in “squirty” droppings. Nectar contains mostly simple sugars (eg sucrose) and is readily absorbed in the gut. Foods packed with complex carbohydrates (eg the starch in seed and pellets) are not suitable in large quantities because they bind-up the digestive tract. Commercially produced pollen powder also has a low digestibility and offers little nutritional benefit.
 
Many commercially available lorikeet foods contain a lot of high-starch “fillers” and lack adequate levels of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and fatty acids. Home made recipes can be just as nutritionally incomplete. Cage birds tend to over-eat and become obese when offered an unlimited supply of food. It is a healthier practice to establish your birds daily food requirement and feed that amount.
