Note that these feeding estimates are for non-breeding birds and can vary depending on the nutritional value of other foods eaten, as well as lorikeet activity levels and daily temperature.

Breeding Lorikeets

Feed 30% more than the non-breeding requirement of Complete Lorikeet plus 1 level teaspoon of prepared Passwell Finch Soft Food per bird per day. This provides the additional protein and nutrient requirements for breeding birds.

Wild Lorikeets

Limited or short-term feeding of wild lorikeets with a nutritionally balanced food is not necessarily harmful. However, non-resident birds may become dependent on this food source and be at risk of competition and disease if induced to stay in an area where there is little natural food. Resident and breeding birds are at risk of nutritional deficiency if the food offered does not contain all essential nutrients they require. Be aware that birds will source the readily available “hand-outs” at the expense of their natural diet and may be at an increased risk of disease transmission at crowded or unhygienic feed stations. Do not overfeed wild birds. About 1 level teaspoon of Complete Lorikeet per bird per day is plenty.
