Birds can consume as much as 20% of their body weight per day so make sure plenty of inTune is provided and is fresh every day. Provide plenty of clean water daily. No supplements are necessary and are not recommended. If fruits, nuts or other foods are provided, make sure inTune is at least 90% of the overall diet by weight.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Lory powder is different.\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry: fill a clean dish with 4–6 tablespoons per bird.

Harmony is the same base with real dried fruit, nuts and vegetables blended in, so food and treat arrive in one bag. Harmony is easier to sell to a fussy bird; this one is cleaner nutritionally because there is nothing to pick around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy four shapes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHiggins say the shapes signify natural ingredients, wellness, good health and real fruit.
