Lory
Diet: This diet is lower in sugar than
other brands of nectars, so switching a bird
from another brand of nectar sometimes requires
adding a small amount of powdered sugar to the
diet and slowly eliminating it to convert the
birds. 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.
Some 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.

Squab
Diet: Columbiformes (doves and pigeons) are
remarkable among the bird world in that the
parents produce a substance called "crop milk".
The crop wall undergoes changes while the
parents are incubating their eggs so that upon
hatching, the squabs can be fed a high protein,
high fat material composed mainly of material
shed from the parents' crop walls. As the squab
mature, their need for this material decreases
and eventually disappears, leaving the squab
with nutritional needs like those of parrots.
During this time the parents’ crop walls return
to normal.
