Blue Streak Lories
Blue-streaked Lory Eos reticulata 12" (30cm), Tenimber Island. Another mainly red lory with striking bright blue streaks on the mantle and hind neck. There is some blue on the sides of the face as well. Black is found in the wings and tail. The Blue-streak is listed on CITIES appendix 1, highly endangered. It was the first lory so listed, but they are doing well in captivity and make excellent, quiet pets. Handfed youngsters can not get enough of people. They make very lovable companions. Many speak well.
Here's one of our very own success stories. The delightful little Blue Streak lory pictured above, is Zorro! One of our 1999 babies. And he's spoiled rotten! But you'd have to ask his daddy, Raiford Pittman about that! He's the one who did all the spoiling!
And we've met such a great friend in Ray.... that's the best part about bringing up babies and finding brand new homes for them. It's the HuMoms and HuDads we meet along the way who make life so interesting!
