Description
The lory (Trichoglossus haematodus) is native to Australia and Tasmania. You will spot these brightly coloured birds everywhere you go ‘down under’. In the past, the lory could mainly be observed near the Blue Mountains, a mountain range west of Sydney. The Blue Mountains are host to many species of eucalyptus trees that secrete bluish drops of oil. These secretions make it seem like the mountains are blue. Therefore, the lories are sometimes called the ‘Blue Mountain Lories’ in Australian vernacular.
