You may feed Twiga at one of the keeper talks held each day. We provide you with carrots. No other food may be given to him at any time as he is on a special diet. At scheduled times each day, visitors may enter the lory parrot aviary and mingle with the birds. We give you a chunk of apple and the colorful, friendly lories fly over, land on you and eat from the apple.
Lories are small parrots found mainly in Australia and Indonesia.
Our birds, by nature friendly and inquisitive, were bred in this country and hand- raised to be especially sweet and gentle. They have their own unique, quirkly personalities and tend to look upon human beings as great big bird toys put on earth for their entertainment. Claws 'N' Paws was the first zoo on the east coast to open a lory feeding area. Many visitors return again and again just to go in with these delightful birds.
