Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What do Rainbow Lorikeets eat?
They need nectar-based diets rather than seed mixes. Specialised lorikeet nectars and soft foods, along with fresh fruits, are ideal.
2. Can I feed regular parrot pellets to my lorikeet?
No, lorikeets cannot digest seed-based pellets well. Use lorikeet-specific nectars or fruit-based blends instead.
3. Are nectar powders or liquid nectars better?
Both are suitable. Powder nectars are convenient for storage, while liquid nectars can be quicker to prepare. Choose based on preference.
4. Can meal toppers be added to nectar diets?
Yes, toppers like bee pollen and flower fusions enhance nutrition and encourage natural foraging behaviour.
5. How often should I feed nectar to my lorikeet?
Nectar should be offered fresh daily. Supplement with fresh fruits and soft enrichment foods for variety.
