§ Scaly Breasted Lorikeets

Scaly Lorikeets are my favourite.  They are the cheekiest and make beautiful pets and great breeders.  We house them in 1500-1800mm long by 600mm wide by 900mm high suspended aviaries.

Orders for hand reared scaly lorikeets starting from $125 can be made by contacting us and that way we can guarantee you a lovely bird.

Breeding
We breed normal's, grey-greens, cinnamons (dilute) and normal split cinnamon, lutino cocks and hens, normal and grey-green split lutino cocks.  I mainly use a lay down box for scaly lorikeets as I find they jump on the eggs and break them.  I spray the box with coopex and mix peat moss and pine shavings together for nesting material.

Feeding
They have dry mix all the time, wet mix 6 days a week.  I give each pair 125mls of wet mix as thick as milk.  They get fruit and vegies cut up three times a week, and celery, corn, endive and fresh water every day.
