(the African Grey is keen to take these) : Dry mix is a must, as is fresh nectar mix. I take the commercial nectar mix and add organic baby food, spirulina, fruit juice and anything else I think they need, ie vitamins. : Lots and lots of fresh water for them to play in, I've never seen them drink their bath water yet ;-) : Definitely under NO circumstances would I feed pellets or anything to bind them up. I've seen too many sick lories that were fed what suited the owner, never mind the bird. : Hope that helps :-) : Karl I get a lot of calls regarding sweet Lories that have all of a sudden become very aggressive. After evaluating many cases it seems that many Lory owners are feeding their birds too much fruit juice that has a high sugar content. If you find this happening, cut back on the juice and you will probably see your darling bird back to its normal self. bobbi Colorado
