Red Lory

Scientific Name: Eos Bornea

The Red Lory (Eos bornea or Eos rubra) is a species of parrot in the Psittacidae family. It is endemic to the Moluccas and surrounding islands in Indonesia. Its natural habitats are tropical moist lowland forests and tropical mangrove forests.

The Red Lory is the most commonly kept Lory in captivity. This bird’s playful personality and its beautiful appearance make the Red Lory a favourite among fanciers and the more advanced novice alike.

Red lories are highly intelligent and active birds, always in trouble the second you turn your back. Red lories make great pets, but can be nippy at times-they are temperamental birds, always looking for the next adventure.
