Thank you Nicole, I will find some more for you. I love lorikeets, and wild lories chew holes in my screen door to come in my house. I find them delightful creatures which never fail to make me laugh. If you feed them and never hurt them, they soon regard you as a friend and they jump all over you. You get out of your car after work and they land on your shoulder and welcome you home. (actually, they want something to eat) You can even pat some of them and call others and they will come and land on your hand. I can get 50 on wet days sitting on my veranda out of the rain, and several of them will and run into my house when I open the door and I have to shoo them out again. It is mating time now and the boys are doing their little mating dances which look so cute, goofy, and funny. The girls usually head for the hills on full afterburner. But sometimes they dance with the boys and lerv is in the air. They mate for life and the males are very protective of their mates.

The chicks are too cute. The juveniles appear to be full size but they weigh nothing as they are all feathers. They squeak instead of chirp, and they can't seem to hop. They waddle around with their wings half extended for balance and they drive mom mad.

They make unusual pets because they want to interact with their owners at least once a day and you need to entertain them. You just can't stick them in a corner and forget them or they get grumpy. Fortunately, they are so cute they are easy to play with.

Hey Bogan. Lorikeets are great characters. I used to feed them at my old house. I’d get the seed tray full of them if I put out sunflower seeds, and also a liquid honey mix.

What do you feed yours?

Bogan · Post by **Bogan** » Sun Sep 01, 2019 4:28 am

Loris love apples and grapes. I also feed them sunflower seeds and a special powdered lori food that is available from the supermarket or pet shops, which I feed them either wet or dry. ( "Avian brand rearing food" is the brand they most like) They prefer it wet, but they will eat it dry. My pet shop also sells colourful pieces of dried fruit which took my wild loris a lot of time to figure out were edible. Now they tuck right in and they like it. They also like biscuits, especially Woolworth's Jam Tartlets. One young lori I recognise will only eat the jam while his friends tuck into the rest of the biscuit. Foreign tourists in Sydney who sit in open air harbourside restaurants are amazed when these colourful little birds land on their tables and start tearing open the sugar packets. The one thing they go mad over is honey. It is funny watching a new lori watching the other loris in a feeding frenzy over a honey squeeze bottle. When you move the nozzle his way it freaks out and runs away. But eventually curiosity gets the better of it and it creeps forward with it's long tongue out, and it tastes the honey. In that instant, it's expression changes from fear to joy and it joins the others in the feeding frenzy. Another thing I give them occasionally is those little plastic containers of sliced peaches and syrup. They like the peaches and they love the syrup.

Loris are usually in pairs, or in family groups of three or four. (Mum, dad and chicks) Loris all look the same and you can only tell males and females apart by their behaviour. The males are aggressive and they defend their females eating areas. This can cause some spectacular fights. The males also initiate the mating dances and they look so cute and funny doing it. Young loris have fine scales on their feet and old loris very course scales. The older loris are usually more friendly than the younger ones.

Individual loris can be recognised, as some loris have unique colours on their chests. Almost all have yellow and red chests, but two that visit me have entirely red chests and one who I call "yellow" (and is particular tame) has an entirely yellow chest. One has green horizontal stripes on her chest (she has a chick) and two others have mottled chests with red, yellow and blue splotches.

There are usually a dozen lined up on my veranda every day for a feed. But wet weather brings them in in droves and I have had up to 60 soggy, fluffed up, and ravenous loris camped out under the shelter of my veranda roof during heavy rain storms. I think the rain washes off the flower nectar they eat and they get hungry. I also have a bird bath which they love. Even on freezing days they just hop right in and splash around. I make sure the water is always clean as they drink from it and I think that having a reliable water supply is another reason why these cute little guys visit me.

One little guy I have grabbed and taken to the vet four times. That is because lori beaks grow like our fingernails and they have to be kept worn down or the lori can not open his beak, and it dies. The little fellow I took to the vet is called "Hoppy" because he came to my house with a swollen up leg caused by a broken toe, and he hopped around on one leg. "Hoppy's leg is OK now but he can't open his beak more than a millimetre, so I feed him crushed biscuit, sugar and wet and dry lori food. The vet tried to grind "Hoppy's beak down so that he could open it but they have blood vessels in their beaks, and the vet hit one. I could not believe that such a little bird had so much blood in him and "Hoppy" nearly bled to death. He had three vets working on him to keep him alive. They cauterised his blood vessel with a red hot piece of wire eight times before they got the blood vessel closed, and every time they did that "Hoppy" screamed. It broke my heart.

Hoppy is very wary of me now and he is getting harder to catch. The vet told me I had to keep stretching "Hoppy's" beak open or it will just close up again. But "Hoppy" does not appreciate my efforts to keep him alive. He is a cunning little fellow and every time I figure out a way to catch him he figures out a way to stop me from doing it. My latest trick was to buy a cheap cage and put his food in a dish away from the door. When he went in I would rush in and close the door, and I had had the little sucker. I could then grab him and stretch his beak. But the little sod just rushes in now and quickly drags the container to the door so that he can stay outside the cage and still eat.

Curses, foiled again.
