Our Lory Food is available in two forms: a small round morsel and a powder. Either food contains all vitamins and minerals as well as dextrinized starches and fructose for energy. The Lory Foods are easy to prepare and feed. Feeding directions are available on this web site.

Pellets - with apple, pineapple, and banana:
-2 lb. Bag
-25 lb. Bag

Powder - with apple, pineapple, and banana:
-2 lb. Poly Bag
-20 lb. Box


• Thoroughly researched and tested.
• Made from all natural plant proteins and fruit extracts.
• Nutritionally complete for lories, including dextrinized starches and fructose for a higher energy level.
• Easy to prepare and feed; available in both dry powder and a morsel.
• Long shelf life; easy to store.
• Firms up droppings without odor.

Lory Food should be fed with a few fruits to give your lories variety and natural sources of moisture and fiber. Water can be offered in a water bottle on the side of the cage to help maintain dry and firm droppings. Adult lories can be fed our Lory Powder mixed with liquids to form a thick soup. Fledglings and juveniles can be weaned to Lory Pellets and can eat the dry morsels from a cup.

Add all ingredients together and stir well. Adjust amount of water to obtain a creamy texture. If storage is desired for later use, the fresh mixture can be poured into a sterile ice cube tray and frozen. After formula is thoroughly frozen, the cubes should be removed and placed into ZIP-Lock style bags. Observe all sanitary
precautions and do not thaw for use more than one time.
Please store in a cool dry location. Keep covered when not in use. Refrigeration is not required.
