Lories should have hanging toys with safe chains and bells, but avoid leather, which may become sticky or moist from the nectar food and droppings. Smaller toys should be plastic, because lories often dunk them in their nectar. The perches should be natural wood because lories like to chew. Pesticide-free maple and weeping willow are very good. Since lories bathe frequently, a waterbath should always be attached to the cage.
Lories also appreciate being sprayed with plain water.
A blow dryer can be used to dry a wet bird during winter months. Wild lories sleep in the nests year round. A pet lory can be provided with a commercial next box. A nest suitable for a lorikeet can be made from a clean, quart-sized plastic bottle. The opening can be cut off the enlarge the entrance.
