Chattering Lory

Scientific Name: Lorius Garrulous

The Chattering Lory is a forest-dwelling parrot endemic to North Maluku, Indonesia. It is considered vulnerable, the main threat being from trapping for the cage-bird trade. The colourful chattering lory is the most popular type of lory. The chattering lory is aptly named because it generally chatters all day.

They are known for their great personalities and are known to always be up to something. If something is placed on top of their cages, they will work endlessly until it's knocked to the floor.

They have a life expectancy of about 20 years. Their diet consists of fresh fruits, vegetable and sprouts. Due to nectar consumption, chattering lories create very liquid stool.
