Lories and Lorikeets Diets for these birds are poorly understood. I prefer one of the various commercial lory nectar diets. Vegetables and fruits are fed ad lib. I supplement the commercial nectar formulas with two commercial gastrointesinal supplements and psyllium. In my experience, homeopathy works very well in birds.
Birds are particularly responsive to energetic therapeutics.
I practice classical homeopathy, so I must find the correct remedy using not only physical symptoms, but mental and emotional symptoms as well. This can be very much a challenge with birds, since most owners know little about the normal behaviors of their companions, let alone the abnormal mental and emotional symptoms. Each holistic veterinarian must be extremely well acquainted with the western medical examination and diagnosis with their avian patients. Allopathic medications might be indicated with very sick birds to get them through the crisis point. The veterinary homeopath must also have an in depth understanding of the various species' normal behaviors.
