How loud are Duyvenbodes (Brown) Lories?
Loud. Noise is the most common reason parrots are rehomed, so it is worth being honest with yourself about your home, your neighbours and the hours you keep before choosing a species.
Do Duyvenbodes (Brown) Lories talk?
Occasional words. No individual bird can be promised to speak, whatever the species is known for, so buy for the company rather than the conversation.
What size cage does a Duyvenbodes (Brown) Lory need?
A minimum of 36in x 24in x 36in, and wider matters more than taller - birds fly across rather than up. Treat any minimum as a floor rather than a target.
Are Duyvenbodes (Brown) Lories good for a first-time owner?
For experienced keepers. Ask any breeder directly what they think of the match - a breeder who talks you out of a species is worth more than one who does not.
Do Duyvenbodes (Brown) Lories produce a lot of dust?
Low. It matters more than most people expect for anyone with asthma, and it is worth raising with a doctor before buying rather than afterwards.
