Gatorland Very Merry Aviary.

These brightly colored parrots native to the Western Pacific and East Indies area are specially adapted to a diet of pollen nectar, and fruit.

This diet has led to the development of a specialized tongue with a brush-like structure at the tip for gathering pollen and nectar... as well as a more slender bill for probing into flowers.

Their Lorikeets just love people especially those with a small cup of nectar.

Open several times daily during regularly scheduled feeding times visitors can enter the Aviary for a more intimate experience with the birds.

Small cups of nectar! to feed the Lorikeets are available for a nominal charge.

Paper towels are also available for those who may experience a very personal Lorikeet encounter!
