Its feathers look like polished black velvet, with flashes of red that glow like embers in the rainforest.
The Black Lory is a striking parrot native to the islands of Indonesia, especially the North Maluku region. Its predominantly dark plumage, powerful curved beak, and bright reddish-orange eyes give it a dramatic appearance. Unlike many parrots that rely heavily on seeds and nuts, this species feeds largely on nectar, pollen, and soft fruits, using its specialized brush-tipped tongue to reach deep inside flowers. Its energetic movements and loud calls make it a lively presence in the tropical canopy.
A dark beauty of the islands, perfectly adapted to a world of blossoms, fruit, and endless green.
