Sweat smell of Lories.

I don't have access to many Lories, but do all Lories have that sweat fruitloop smell or is it just the Reds. I read online that the dark ones have a musky scent that I'm curious about also.

Mine (Reds) both smell fruity. I always assumed it was the food.

I just can't get over how sweat she smells. We were driving in my jeep the other day(hard top on) and went past a really ripe skunk. Jokingly my husband said to let Cherry out. All I did was lift her up and open the side flap which exposed the screen and immedialty the jeep smelled better. even my mother in law says the house smells fresher since we have gotten her.
