[Jimdc]

Hi everyone I'm getting my first lorikeet (yellowbacked ) in a week or two'separate time . I'm very excited as you can imagine. Any advice would really be appreciated. Jim C

A good sturdy cage! Not the plastic and wire kind.

Oh yah, a camera!

Thanks Flboy, I have ordered the same cage i have for Rory my blue fronted Amazon. It is getting delivered today.

They survive on powder nectar as their base diet .They also get soft fruits and vegetables.I have 2 Lorries.They are surprisingly smart and can dismantle things even though they don't have the beak strength.Mine talk well and know how to break out of their cages Good Luck

Thanks Pink birdy for your advice, I have been researching like mad lol . I'm getting my lorikeet from the same breader I got Rory (my blue fronted Amazon ) from he/she will hopefully be here soon. The breeder lives in England and I'm in Scotland . So it just when he can deliver is about 7 hours drive. What type of lorikeets do you have? Jim C
