Q about Black Capped Lory's

[iami68]

Hi all you lory fans...I have a question about black cap lory breeding,is there anybody in this forum that has breed or know of anybody that has breed these beautiful birds? I just bought a bonded pair yesterday.And they are 2 years old.I think that it is the right age too start breeding..

I don't know any breeders, but I have an article on breeding chattering lories if you're interested. It's a really extensive article, that I think would benefit most lorikeet breeders. Its in Birdkeeper magazine (Volume 20 Issue 11, 2007)

I also have a book that has some information on keeping and breeding various lorikeets, including the black capped. Is there any specific information you need? Or are you just looking for a breeder to chat with?
