 | | They are the largest of the lorikeets, measuring about 11.5 inches (29 cm) in length, 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm) tall, and weigh about 4.5 ounces (125 to 130 grams). |
 | | Caged lorikeets should be taken out of the cage for an hour or more every day for both play and flying time. |
 | | Although these diets are designed to provide the essential requirements for lorikeets, they must be enhanced with other foods, such as fresh fruits like apples and pears, stone-fruits, most citruses, banana and melon, and some seed. |
