I feed Sheldon nectar and bee pollen daily. I grow native flowers in my backyard, so it comes naturally. He loves it =D

I mix it in his food and sometimes dilute it in water as a treat.

Loris are natural nectar eaters so feeding them pollen makes sense... The question is do other birds benefit from it?

Google searches do seem to suggest it is ok to give to parrots in general :)
