This listing of commercially-prepared lory foods is not
endorsed or paid for by any commercial entity. I made this webpage as
a convenience for lory owners and the recommendations here are based
upon recommendations that lory owners and veterinarians have provided
to me. I have not personally used all these lory foods on my own lories,
but those that I have used, and my opinion of that food, are noted.
Avico Lory Life
available from Cuttlebone Plus (USA). Many lories list members use the
nectar (and supplement it with the powder) to feed their pet lories. I have
tried to get my lories to eat this food, without much success (only the
Dusky Lories would eat it). The one feature that I did not like about
this food was the resulting lory poop was very difficult to clean from the
concrete floor of my aviary using my usual cleaning methods.
CeDe Lori
food available from CeDe Vogelvoeders (Tilburg, Netherlands) or
Higgins Premium Pet
Foods (USA). Several lories list members use this diet to feed their
pet lories.
Nekton-Lori is available from Guenter Enderle Enterprises (throughout
Europe and in the USA). It can be obtianed in the USA from Gunter Enderle
Enterprises, INC.; NEKTON-PRODUKTE; 27 West Tarpon Ave; Tarpon Springs,
FL 34689. Phone: 727.938.1544 or Fax.: 727.938.1545 or by
email. I use Nekton-Lori as
a regular part of my breeding lories' diet, and I use this diet exclusively
to hand-feed my baby lories until they wean. Many lories list members use
this nectar to feed their pet lories.
