Lories and Lorikeets
The parrots in the family Loriinae are known for their unusual brush-tipped tongues. These birds feed upon pollen, nectar and fruits, while inadvertently pollinating the flowers of the trees on which they feed. A hand-fed lory or lorikeet, which has become imprinted on humans, makes the best pet. Almost all hand-fed lories can learn to talk. They feed nectar, they should be offered fruits, vegetables, greens, cooked egg, and if possible, unsprayed weeping willow twigs. Their lengths is from 23 – 40cm and they live about 30 years
