Good write up! I'm 'lucky' with my lorikeet, as he's obviously not a seed eater (though his species does have the ability to properly digest seed. The Musschenbroek's are the other lorikeet species that naturally have an amount of seed in their diets, and some of the larger species are known to eat a small bit as well). His diet is roughly 50% Avico nectar (low iron content) and 50% fruits and veggies. Today was actually the first day that he voluntarily ate something green (I usually mix anything green in with his fruit puree to keep it red or orange. He eats based on color. lol) His fruit puree is always papaya and sweet potato based with a large assortment of other healthy fruits and veggies mixed in. He eats quite a healthy diet IMO.
