Feeding Captive Birds:
Use Nectar Shake 'N' Make as a treat for captive lorikeets, lories & honeyeaters. Do not overfeed, as this is wasteful and can lead to obesity in captive birds. Birds should be offered fresh fruit and blossom daily.
Supplementing Wild Birds:
Wombaroo Nectar Shake 'N' Make can be used as a supplement to attract native birds to the garden. Set up an elevated feeding station on a pole or suspended from the branch of a tree. Provide the prepared food in a shallow, glazed bowl or feeding tube. Ration daily feed to no more than 10mL per lorikeet or 5mL per honeyeater. Always limit the amount of food offered to reduce dependence on the food. Remove the bowl after feeding and thoroughly clean it - disease transmission can be a problem at feed stations. Be aware that when you attract birds to your garden, you may also attract predators, so steps may need to be taken to mitigate this problem.
For larger volumes:
If feeding larger volumes, use the Wombaroo Lorikeet & Honeyeater Food, as this is available in more cost-effective bulk sizes and made up at a higher concentration. This product also comes with suggested daily maintenance feed volumes.
