Red Lory

About Red Lory

The Red Lory (Eos bornea) or the Moluccan Lory is a small parrot with a big personality. It is the second most commonly kept pet Lory, after the Rainbow Lorikeet. Red Lories are known for their playful personality and striking appearance. Lories require a lot more care and attention than most other companion birds. This necessitates a dutiful owner, willing to devote the time to handle their particular needs. Red Lories grow up to 12 inches long and weigh as little as 6 ounces. Although this parrot is small, the playful personality and bright colours make one forget about their little size.
