While lories have become more popular, not all veterinarians are experienced with them. When selecting an avian vet, make sure he or she has studied lories. Most larger animal hospitals have exotic specialists. When the lory is finally purchased, it should be taken immediately to the avian specialist for a complete examination. Generally if lories are fed a good nectar diet twice a day, a variety of fruits and vegetables, and given daily exercise, the birds will stay quite healthy.
Lories are affordable, boldly-colored, affectionate and spunky parrots.
They can be uninhibited in their friendliness, and will play for hours on end. Many of the larger species speak very clearly, and all can mimic sounds. Someone wishing to buy a lively, beautiful but relative inexpensive bird should look into the lories and lorikeets. All rights reserved.
