Less sugar is helpful to reduce incidence of yeast infections that lories are prone to due to the high sugar diets they are commonly fed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome people grind up the maintenance pellets into a powder or convert their birds to maintenance crumbles. Lories do very well on the maintenance diet. Feeding pellets, crumbles, or dry powdered Lory Nectar will result in drier, easier to clean up droppings, making lories that much more pleasant to live with. Although some people use the Lory Nectar to handfeed lory chicks, we recommend using Formula 3, which provides a little higher protein needed for growth in the chicks and eliminates the sugar that could lead to yeast infections. Also Formulated for hand-feeding hummingbirds from 0-3 weeks of age; it contains 15% protein.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot for use in Hummingbird feeders.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEclectus Ark Note\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery purchase from Eclectus Ark helps support the daily care of our birds and our nonprofit conservation work.
