Lory,

Lory, a common name for the members of a family of parrots, technically known as Trichoglossidae, rigidly confined to the Australian region. They are beautiful, gregarious, noisy, quick-flying birds, feeding on fruits, and gathering the nectar of flowers with their brush-like tongues. The two largest genera are Trichoglossus and Lorius; altogether there are about ninety species. The name lory is also extended to the genus Ecleetus, in a different family of parrots.
