Lorikeet cage and daily life
Provide a cage at least 36 x 24 x 36 inches (90 x 60 x 90 cm) with 5/8-3/4 inch bar spacing, plus 2-3 hours out of the cage. Lorikeets are acrobatic and love swings and showers; misting daily suits them. Expect frequent, loose droppings, so line trays with paper and change often. Keep away from kitchens (Teflon/PTFE fumes are fatal).
Common mistakes with Lorikeets
The classic error is feeding seed instead of nectar/fruit, which starves their specialized gut. Skipping frequent dish cleaning leads to sour crop and deadly bacterial infections. Nonstick-fume exposure and toxic foods are acute killers, and owners often underestimate the constant mess.
