Oranges

• Fruits are a part of the natural diet of wild lorikeets. You may feed captive lorikeets a range of fruits, including citrus fruits and oranges. For an added measure of safety, remove the seeds from the oranges before you offer them to your birds. In addition to providing sustenance, orange slices or halves will provide your birds with an object upon which they can express their natural chewing behavior, and the extra time needed to manipulate the fruit will help reduce boredom.
