Parrots

There were Parrots everywhere! I drove to the Portland Zoo yesterday specifically to visit the Lorikeet Landing. The Lorikeet is slender with a long tapering tail, the Rainbow being the most popular. Lories are stockier with squared-off tails with the Chattering Lory being the most popular.

All of the Lorinae family are beautiful by most people’s standards. Their bright cheery personality matches their colorful feathers. If you can deal with the mess they make, you will be hard pressed to find a more colorful bird than the Rainbow Lory.
