Chattering Lories Lorius garrulus garrulus 12" (30cm),All dark red except for the wings and thighs which are green. One of the better talking species and perhaps one of the cleverest at escaping or just being all around trouble makers. Great personalities, always up to something. If something is placed on top of their cage they will work endlessly until it's knocked to the floor. Food and water bowls must be
attached to the cage, and even then they will likely become toys! There is a sub-specie, the Yellow-backed Lory L. g. flavopalliatus, which has a patch of yellow on the mantel.
Either makes a great, if somewhat vocal pet. They produce a shrill, whistle-like call. Thankfully they don't do it very frequently. Still quieter than an amazon. From Islands of
Indonesia.
