Common questions

How much does a Green Nape Lories cost?

Most Green Nape Lories listed on BirdBreeders.com in the last twelve months were priced between $750 and $985, with a midpoint around $750. That is drawn from 5 real listings by breeders on this site over that period, not an estimate. Price varies with age, hand-feeding, DNA sexing and the breeder's location.

How long do Green Nape Lories live?

Green Nape Lories typically live 15-25 years in good conditions. That is a long commitment for any household, and worth planning for before buying rather than after.

How loud are Green Nape 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 Green Nape 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 Green Nape Lories 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 Green Nape 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 Green Nape 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.
