Specially Formulated for Lorikeets
Lorikeets have specialised dietary requirements that differ from those of many seed-eating parrots.
In the wild, lorikeets primarily consume nectar, pollen, flowers and suitable fruits.
These natural foods provide carbohydrates, protein and other nutrients that support their active lifestyle.
Vetafarm Wild Earth has been developed to provide a nutritionally balanced alternative to traditional homemade nectar mixes.
The formula combines carefully selected ingredients to support normal growth, energy metabolism and overall nutritional health.
Low-Sugar Lorikeet Nutrition
Wild Earth is formulated as a lower-sugar alternative to many traditional lorikeet nectar diets.
It contains a combination of carbohydrates and naturally derived ingredients to provide energy while supporting healthy body condition.
This makes it a practical choice for companion lorikeets requiring a balanced feeding program.
Important: Wild Earth is described as low sugar, not sugar-free. Its ingredient list includes fructose and sucrose.
Contains Eucalyptus Bee Pollen
Bee pollen is a natural component of the diet of many nectar- and pollen-feeding birds.
Wild Earth contains eucalyptus bee pollen as part of its formulation inspired by the natural feeding habits of lorikeets.
Bee pollen contributes to the product's nutritional composition and palatability.
Dates & Blueberry Extract
Wild Earth contains dates and blueberry extract.
These ingredients complement the formula's carbohydrate sources and contribute naturally occurring plant compounds.
Their inclusion helps create a palatable diet suitable for lorikeets accustomed to fruit and nectar flavours.
Prebiotic Chicory Root for Digestive Support
Wild Earth contains chicory root extract (inulin), a prebiotic ingredient.
Prebiotics provide a nutritional substrate for selected beneficial intestinal microorganisms.
Inulin is included to support a healthy digestive environment as part of a balanced feeding program.
Balanced Vitamins & Minerals
Wild Earth provides essential vitamins and minerals involved in normal physiological functions.
These nutrients contribute to:
- Normal skeletal development
- Healthy feather growth and maintenance
- Energy metabolism
- Normal muscle and nerve function
- Immune system function
- Healthy skin and tissues
- General nutritional wellbeing
The formula contains vitamins A, B-complex, C, D3, E, H and K, together with a broad range of essential minerals.
Suitable for Wet or Dry Feeding
One of the major advantages of Vetafarm Wild Earth is its versatility.
The product can be offered in two ways.
Dry Feeding
Wild Earth can be fed directly from the bag as a dry powder.
This provides a convenient feeding option without requiring preparation with water.
Wet Feeding
Wild Earth can also be mixed with warm water to create a smooth, nectar-style mixture.
This method may be particularly useful for birds accustomed to wet lorikeet foods.
Both methods provide flexibility for owners and breeders.

Directions for Use
Vetafarm Wild Earth Lorikeet Diet can be fed wet or dry.
The manufacturer recommends that Wild Earth make up approximately 80% of the bird's diet, with suitable additional foods making up the remaining portion.
Daily Feeding Guide
The minimum daily feeding amount should be approximately 10% of the bird's bodyweight.
| Lorikeet Bodyweight | Minimum Daily Wild Earth Quantity |
|---|---|
| 75g | 7.5g |
| 100g | 10g |
| 125g | 12.5g |
| 150g | 15g |
| 175g | 17.5g |
| 200g | 20g |
| 250g | 25g |
These quantities are calculated from Vetafarm's minimum daily feeding guideline. Actual intake may vary with activity, species, life stage and the rest of the diet.
Dry Feeding Instructions
- Place the required quantity of Wild Earth directly into a clean feeding dish.
- Make the dry food freely available as the main part of the bird's diet.
- Monitor daily food consumption.
- Replace contaminated food.
- Provide fresh drinking water at all times.
Wet Feeding Instructions
Mix 3 level tablespoons of Wild Earth Lorikeet Diet with 4 tablespoons of warm water.
- Measure three level tablespoons of Wild Earth powder.
- Add four tablespoons of warm water.
- Mix thoroughly using a fork.
- Stir until evenly combined.
- Serve in a clean feeding dish.
- Replace the wet mixture at least every 24 hours.
Important Wet Food Hygiene
Prepared wet lorikeet food can spoil quickly, particularly during hot weather.
- Replace wet food at least every 24 hours.
- Change food more frequently during warm conditions.
- Wash feeding bowls thoroughly between uses.
- Discard contaminated or spoiled food.
- Prepare only the quantity your birds are likely to consume.
Feeding with Fresh Fruit, Vegetables & Native Flowers
Vetafarm recommends using Wild Earth as approximately 80% of the overall diet.
The remaining 20% may include appropriate:
- Fresh fruit
- Vegetables
- Native flowers
- Suitable flowering branches
Offer species-appropriate foods and avoid toxic plants.
Introducing Wild Earth to Your Lorikeet
When changing from another lorikeet diet, introduce Wild Earth gradually.
Start by mixing a small amount into the bird's existing food.
Increase the proportion over several days while monitoring acceptance and food intake.
Lorikeets can be selective eaters, so ensure the bird continues consuming sufficient food during the transition.
If your bird refuses the new diet or loses weight, seek advice from an avian veterinarian.
Suitable for Companion & Aviary Lorikeets
Vetafarm Wild Earth is suitable for appropriate feeding programs involving:
- Rainbow Lorikeets
- Scaly-Breasted Lorikeets
- Musk Lorikeets
- Red-Collared Lorikeets
- Other Australian Lorikeets
- Exotic Lories and Lorikeets
Feeding requirements vary between species and individual birds.
Supporting Healthy Body Condition
Captive lorikeets may have different energy requirements from wild birds.
Birds with limited flying opportunities may need careful dietary management to maintain healthy body condition.
Wild Earth's low-sugar formulation is designed to provide balanced nutrition while helping owners manage dietary intake.
Regularly monitor your bird's bodyweight and general condition.
