What Are Lorikeets and Lories? 

Red Lory 

(Eos Bornea)

Lorikeets and Lories are nectar feeding parrots known for their rainbow colored plumage and playful personalities. They are endemic to Australia, New Guinea, Indonesia, and surrounding Pacific islands. While both are part of the same parrot subfamily, they have slight differences:

- Lories typically have shorter tails and stockier bodies.

- Lorikeets often feature longer tails and slimmer builds.

Whether you're looking for a Rainbow Lorikeet, Black Capped Lory, or a Duyvenbodes Lory, Florida Parrot offers a selection of hand raised lories and lorikeets for sale, shipped safely and ethically to approved buyers.

Why Choose Lorikeets and Lories?

Buyers love lorikeets and lories for their:

- Bright, exotic colors that rival any tropical bird

- Highly social behavior – they love people and thrive on daily social interaction

- Curiosity and intelligence, making them easy to bond with and train

These parrots are ideal for experienced owners who want a companion that is playful, talkative, and full of personality.
