Lories and Lorikeet care guide
Lories and Lorikeets are playful and energetic birds which often form strong bonds with their owners. Due to their high intelligence, they can be easily trained and this makes them a perfect pet for both singles and families.
Lories and Lorikeets are small to medium-sized parrots that are characterized by their specialized brush-tipped tongues for feeding on nectar of various blossoms and soft fruits, preferably berries. They are widely distributed throughout the Australasian region, ncluding south-eastern Asia, Polynesia, Papua New Guinea, Timor Leste and Australia, and the majority have very brightly coloured plumage.
Lories and Lorikeets have specialized brush-tipped tongues for feeding on nectar and soft fruits. They can feed from the flowers of about 5,000 species of plants and use their specialised tongues to take the nectar. The tip of their tongues have tufts of papillae (extremely fine hairs), which collect nectar and pollen.
