Hello again!
Skittles is going great and he's quickly becoming the boss of the household but I've come to ask for your assistance once more.
Ive been trying to find fresh flowers for my lorikeet to no avail. The ones I did find that are appropriate for rainbows to eat, the seller couldn't say whether or not pesticides and insecticides were used while growing them.
My bird's diet right now is lots of fresh apples and grapes and Nekton lori powder. I'm afraid that this diet may not be appropriate for the long term as I hear that 70% of a wild lorikeets diet consists of flowers.
Is there a plant that's indigenous to Australia, appropriate for lories to eat and that doesn't take a long time to flower? Been doing research on the flowers they eat and they all seem to come from massive trees. Not going to be something I can easily grow in an apartment.
any ideas?
