Lory Red basic information

The Red Lory is quite handsome with its brilliant red plumage. Each of its bright red feathers is tipped with a whitish shaft. The feathers on its secondary and wing covets are tipped with black. Black is the main color for the primaries, but they possess a red speculum. The underside of the tail is a dull red, with the upper side covered in reddish brown plumage. They have an orange bill, with reddish brown eyes. There is no visible difference between males and females. Immature Red Lories have dark eyes and dark bills. They are smaller than many of the larger parrots reaching an average 12 inches (31cm) at adulthood, with wingspans of six to seven inches (160 - 175 mm).
