- Sound of the Purple-naped Lory.
Habitat:
In Seram the Purple-naped Lory found in montane and submontane forests, both primary and secondary, a altitude between 400 and 1.050 m; also in the jungle in the this of the island and in the areas cultivated. They move in pairs, rarely in groups and can be territorial. reproductive ecology of the species in the wild is unknown. Forshaw gives details of an instance of poultry farming in which two eggs were laid., hatching around the 25 days; the young are independent only three months more afternoon.

Reproduction:
The reproduction of the species in the wild is unknown. Details of breeding in poultry farming establish a clutch of two eggs, incubation in a few 25 days, and the young three months after independence.
Food:
Feed on fruits of Pandanus scattered.
Distribution:
Size of the area of distribution (reproduction / resident): 6.300 km2
endemic to the Seram Islands and Ambon (has also been seen in Buru: probably an escaped bird), in Indonesian. There are no recent records of Ambon or Buru. The current records come from the Manusela National Park (uncommon) and the center of Seram and WAE Fufa (locally common).
In 1987 Bowler and Taylor they found a rate of 0,7 birds per hour in Kineke, in the Manusela National Park; But during nearly two months of observations in 1990, they only saw 10 individuals.
The species is a bird people of cage in Seram and throughout the province of Maluku and the expansion of foreign trade could pose a threat to their survival.
The population worldwide is estimated at less than 20.000 individuals in 1991, but currently, the population, is considered on the rise. VULNERABLE.
Conservation:
• Current IUCN Red List category: Danger.
• Population trend: Decreasing.
This species has been upgraded to In danger Since its population It is suspected that has fallen below 2.500 individuals mature, with more than 250 in any subpopulation mature individuals.
Capture unsustainable for local and national trade, as well as the loss of forests due to logging, oil extraction and hydroelectric power combinations.
These facts, It is suspected, they are causing an downhill fast and constant in the species.
