Feeding Guide

• To make 100mL: Mix 3 scoops of powder (30g) with 80mL of warm water.
• To make 1 Litre: Mix 300g of powder with 800mL of warm water.
• Add half the water to the powder first and mix until dispersed.
• Then add the remaining water and mix thoroughly.
• Prepared food can be stored in the fridge for a day or can be frozen for up to 2 weeks.

For feeding captive birds:

• Use as the maintenance diet for captive lorikeets, lories & honeyeaters.
• Overfeeding can cause obesity, so feed the suggested amounts in the feeding guide.
• In hot weather provide fresh food in the morning and evening to prevent spoilage.
• Offer fresh water, fruit and blossom daily.
• For breeding birds increase feed by 30% and supplement with Wombaroo Insectivore Rearing Mix.

For supplementing wild birds:

• Set up an elevated feeding station. Provide the prepared food in a shallow, glazed bowl.
• Ration daily feed to no more than 10mL per lorikeet or 5mL per honeyeater.
• Limit the frequency of food offered to reduce dependence on the food.
• Remove the bowl daily and thoroughly clean it.
• Disease transmission and the presence of predators can be a problem at feed stations.
• An alternative to direct feeding is to plant native shrubs and provide fresh water.
