The lory s diet is based on nectar we make ourselves. He also gets a variety of fruits and vegetables. Almost all of the birds also get Nutriberries or Avicakes periodically throughout the day. We use one of those jogger s misters and it works great for the 20 bucks it cost. Rocky uses the entire mister with his own shower.
Every cage gets a light cleaning nightly.
Poop and food is washed off cage surfaces with water, and a mild soap is used if needed. The paper under the cage grates is changed. Any food is scraped off of perches, and the floor around each cage is swept up. A couple of times a month, the cages are taken outside to get a thorough cleaning. These creatures are too intelligent to be left all day with nothing to do.
