Lorikeets and Lories

What Are Lorikeets and Lories?

Red Lory

Lorikeets and lories are nectar-feeding parrots known for their rainbow-colored plumage and playful personalities. While both are part of the same parrot subfamily, they have slight differences:

• Lories typically have shorter tails and stockier bodies.

• Lorikeets often feature longer tails and slimmer builds.

Whether you're looking for a rainbow lorikeet, black-capped lory, or a blue-streaked variety, Florida Parrot offers a selection of hand-raised lories and lorikeets for sale, shipped safely and ethically to approved buyers.

Why Choose Lorikeets and Lories?

Buyers love lorikeets and lories for their:

• Bright, exotic colors that rival any tropical bird

• Highly social behavior – they love people and social interaction

• Curiosity and intelligence, making them easy to bond with and train

These parrots are ideal for experienced owners who want a companion that is playful, talkative, and full of personality.

Specialized Diet: What You Need to Know

Lorikeets and lories have a brush-tipped tongue designed to lap up nectar and soft fruits. At Florida Parrot, we provide guidance on how to maintain their health with a proper diet, including:

• Fresh nectar blends (available commercially or homemade)

• Occasional soft vegetables and protein supplements

Proper feeding ensures brilliant feather condition and vibrant energy levels.
