Nectars
The term “nectar” is used to refer to several different things. In a botanical sense, nectar is a very rich, sweet liquid secreted by plants.
In the Avian world, nectar is a form of juice which can take a range of forms, depending on the style in which it is made.
Nectar is a sugar-rich liquid produced by plants. It is produced either by the flowers, in which it attracts pollinating animals or by extrafloral nectaries, which provide a nutrient source to birds and butterflies.
It is produced in glands called nectaries.
Nectar is an nutritional important sugar source for nectar.Hummingbirds, sunbirds, lories, fructivoren and nectivoren feed on nectar.
Nectar is derived from Latin nectar “drink of the gods”, also called “sweet liquid in flowers”. Floral nectaries are generally located at the base of the perianth, so that pollinators are made to brush the flower’s reproductive structures, the anthers and pistil, while accessing the nectar.

Article description
Avian Lori Nectar is a complete and balanced diet especially developed for the nectar eating lories, fig parrots and swift parakeets. Avian Lori Nectar is a liquid nectar diet that serves as a basic menu for almost all lori varieties. Nectar and pollen are the natural food of all lories and lorikeets, most species also eat fruit, seeds, flower buds and berries.
Instructions
Take 15 grams (1 full scoop, which is included) on 100 ml of water. You stir well until you have a homogeneous liquid. Let this mixture rest for three minutes, after three minutes you will mix this mixture well once again. You will see that the nectar becomes nicely homogeneous and has a jelly-like appearance. This is due to the natural plant binder. This binder prevents the nutrients from settling into the mixing and the bird first having to drink all the water to get to the actual nutrients. Freshly made nectar can be stored for 12 hours. Make a fresh amount every day. In warm and sunny weather don’t place the nectar directly in the sun. One kilo of nectar gives 6.7 liters of nutrition. Keep dry, cool and dark.

Aves Loridry:
Article description
AVES LoriDry is a complete feed for Lori’s, Lorikeets, Hanging Parakeets and Figparrots. Under certain circumstances it can be advantageous when birds eat LoriDry food. For example, during the owner’s absence when feeding has to be carried out by people with less experience with birds. Or during periods with high ambient temperatures and the owner is unable to feed his birds twice daily. It is also possible that birds obtained from abroad are accustomed to dry food or fruit and therefore are not eager to eat liquid Lorinectar. Juvenile birds can get accustomed to LoriDry besides our liquid Lorinectar. The nutritional value of LoriDry is equal to Lorinectar, however, it is not soluble in water. LoriDry consists of highly digestible ingredients. Make sure that birds drink enough water. The droppings will give an indication of water consumption. Lori’s show preferences for certain feeds. In the same family individual preferences exist also. Therefore birds should never be forced to eat only LoriDry.
Instructions
Give as much LoriDry as the birds eat. Depending on circumstances offer the birds LoriDry, Lorinectar or both. Birds can get used to LoriDry food at an early age. LoriDry should stay dry and not be spoiled by drinking or bathing water. Always keep fresh drinking water available.
