hi, I'm curious about what lorikeet food you all use for your lorikeets? currently I use passwells complete lorikeet, but sometimes I also use wombaroo lorikeet food and occasionally harmony (but I don't know about this one, I feel like it's not as good maybe? not sure)
minky gets his fruit and veg too of course, he loves any sort of leafy green

I don't personally keep Lories/Lorikeets though some of my best friends keep Black Lories and Red Lories.

The big brand that people seem to use in the US (or at least my part of it) is Lories Choice by Jordan Daniels. The actual diet is pretty solid and has overall good reviews nomatter whether you opt to wet or dry feed. Solid stuff all around. Though the BIGGEST complaint that I've heard from all of my buddies who feed this are that orders have been repeatedly shipped out late these past several months. Whether it's my single customer friends, or the bird retail hotspots near me ordering in bulk, here lately there have been several times where arrival has been cut uncomfortably close to running out of food despite ordering well in advance or signed up to auto ship... So take that as you will and have a backup option should you choose to feed this.

This isn't the biggest brand in the US though is pretty popular overseas- Psittacus! Personally I enjoy their specialty diets for regular Psittacines, and my buddies have recently taken their Lory products up as the backup option and have enjoyed them so far. The only trick with them is that they want you to order their Gel AND Nectar, offering in two separate bowls as they are complementary products. Just like Lories Choice these can be fed wet or dry. It's still comparable price-wise to Lories Choice, but we know that y'all don't need more things to clean LOL! They also have a small lory specialty pellet?? No idea on whether it's good or not, though if it lives up to the quality of their other products it can be great variation to your regular feed.
