{"product_id":"psittacus-lory-nectar-1kg","title":"Psittacus Lory Nectar 1kg – Lorikeet Dry Nectar Food","description":"\u003cp\u003ePsittacus Lory Nectar is a complementary food formulated specifically for lorikeets and lories — parrots of the Loriinae subfamily. Rich in dehydrated fruit and natural sugars, it mirrors the high-energy, nectar-based diet these birds require in the wild. It is designed to be used alongside a gel-based lory diet, not as a standalone feed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Serve\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePsittacus Lory Nectar can be offered dry or mixed with water to form a suspension. If prepared with water, avoid over-diluting — the consistency matters for both palatability and nutritional delivery. Offer it in a separate feeder from any gel diet you are running alongside it; birds will self-regulate their intake of each according to their current nutritional needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePart of a Balanced Lory Diet\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a complementary food and should not be the sole component of the diet. It is recommended to offer it simultaneously with a lory gel product, with both available in separate feeders at all times. When chicks are present in the nest, it is advisable to also provide an appropriate neonatal hand-feeding formula suited to the chicks' age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeeding Quantities\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a general guide, lories and lorikeets consume approximately 7–10 g of dry gel and nectar combined per 100 g of body weight daily. Be aware that ambient temperature has a significant influence on daily intake — birds will consume more in warmer conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAnalytical Constituents\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrude protein: 7.0%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrude oils and fats: 3.0%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePsittacus Lory Nectar gives keepers a straightforward, species-appropriate component for maintaining active, well-nourished lorikeets — provided it is used as part of a properly structured complementary diet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peregrine","offers":[{"title":"1kg+","offer_id":54146927657297,"sku":"4FPM021","price":37.16,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"5kg+","offer_id":54146927690065,"sku":"4FPM022","price":94.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/0403\/8225\/files\/4FPM021_1.jpg?v=1782487631","url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/psittacus-lory-nectar-1kg","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
