I feed lots of wild parrots, Rainbows like slice of bred with sugar spayed with water so the sugar gets absorbed into the bred or bred with any jam or honey, or apple dipped in sugar, most other fruit. But remember they are bad squirters and that's normal for this species! :rain:

We use a Lorikeet dry powder. They usually take a beak full of powder and then have a drink to wet it.

We also give them quarter of an apple and quarter of an orange each day. They like some greens as well such as kale but mainly just chew it up and leave it on the bottom of the cage.
