| What is Lory Landing At San Antonio Zoo |
But Seriously, What is Lory Landing?
Lory Landing is basically a giant walk-in aviary teeming with hundreds of lorikeets. These little parrots come in a dazzling array of colors, from sunshine yellow to electric blue, and their acrobatic antics are enough to put even the most seasoned circus performer to shame. They'll swing upside down, chat (or should we say, squawk?) a storm, and maybe even land on your head for a closer look (don't worry, they're usually more interested in the sugary nectar you'll be holding).
Warning: Be prepared for a sugar rush (both for you and the lorikeets). These feathered fiends have a serious sweet tooth, and they won't be shy about letting you know it.

The Lory Landing Lowdown: Fun Facts and Tips for the Feathered Encounter
- Nectar for the Needy: You can purchase a cup of special nectar to feed the lorikeets. This is pretty much guaranteed to result in a feathered friend (or ten) clinging to your arm, shoulder, or even head (we told you they were acrobatic!).
- Dress for the Mess: These little guys aren't exactly the tidiest eaters. Think of it as a baptism by sprinkles ... in bird form.
- Camera at the Ready: Lory Landing is a photographer's paradise. Just be prepared to get a wing or two in the shot.
- Keep it Calm: While the lorikeets are generally friendly, loud noises or sudden movements can spook them. Think chill vibes over disco inferno.
