Wings with large black patch and purple-blue ends; the tip of the tail blue. The subspecies Hapalopsittaca melanotis peruvianahead green, with the spot towards the back of the eye dark orange.
Habitat
Rare, Although most abundant in Bolivia. It lives in temperate inter-Andean valleys and humid montane forests., between 1500 to 2500 m.. (Occasionally a 3450 m.. in Peru). Usually in pairs or small groups. Seen mostly in pairs or in small groups of 3 to 25 birds. From time to time they gather in groups of up to 50 birds around their favored roosting.
Conservation
Not considered in any of the threat categories, It is very rare in captivity.
They have recorded for this species altitudinal migration, Depending perhaps on the fruiting, Since the fruit is their main source of food.
With reproduced in cavities of trees or places of nesting woodpeckers.
Inhabits intermittently to the East of the Andes, in the center of Peru and in the yunga of Bolivia.
The Cardinal Lory(Pseudeos cardinalis) has a characteristic shape due to its relatively long tail.
Among adults, There is no sexual dimorphism, the plumage is completely brilliant red, but the upperparts and wings They seem to be darker.
The bill is orange-red with a black color in the base area.
The bare orbital skin is black.
The feathers the lower parts have small yellowish features, What gives a vaguely scaly appearance.
The legs are grey.
The irises is red-orange.
The immature has the back and blankets of Red Wings clear. Its bill It is pale orange with small black marks. Its orbital skin is whitish grey. Their irises are pale yellow.
It is a kind forest. It is very widespread and is locally abundant in primary and secondary forests. It is also in the forests in regeneration in coconut plantations and mangroves where there are trees in flower.
Can rise to 1.200 m above sea level, Although in the Bougainville Island (Papua New Guinea), does not exceed of the 800 m.
It is a bird loud that does not happen easily unnoticed.
It is usually in small flocks of up to 20 birds flying high above the canopy. Also gets into branches higher trees in flower which is notable for its continuous shrieks and its beautiful bright colors.
It is often found in the company of the Coconut Lorikeet(Trichoglossus haematodus) and they particularly appreciate red flowers.
This bird moves constantly in the day, flying from one island to another.
Reproduction:
The breeding season probably starts in June. There are reports of links in August and stops extending to September.
To date, We have found a nest in a high tree cavity, at low altitude above the ground. This is the only information we have about the natural environment.
In captivity, the Cardinal Lory puts two white eggs. Both parents incubate and care for young people.
The incubation period is 24 days.
When out of the shell, chicks weigh in 6 to 7 g.. They are covered with a white quilt, long and dense.
As with all the Loris type Chalcopsitta y Pseudeos the nest is especially long and hard between 65 and 80 days.
Food:
The Cardinal Lory is exclusively vegetarian. Feeds in the canopy and fruit Palms, small berries, flowers, outbreaks, also pollen and nectar.
This Parrot seems to mark a clear preference for the flowers and red fruits.
Distribution:
The Cardinal Lory It is endemic to the Islands to the East of New Guinea. Its area of distribution covers New Hanover and the islands surrounding (Tabar, Lihir, Thong, FeNi and Nissan). Extends to Buka and Bougainville. In the Solomon Islands occupies a territory that extends to the South of San Cristóbal.
Conservation:
– Current IUCN Red List category: Least concern
– The population trend: Stable
The world population It has not been quantified, but the species is described as abundant (pit et to the. 1997). Sources estimate that the total population in nature exceeds the 100 thousand copies.
The population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence of any reduction or substantial threats.
But, is classified by the UICN as a species “in restricted zone “, which means that it has a territory whose surface is less to 50 000 km, therefore, potential danger.
"Cardinal Lory" in captivity:
Very rare.
In 1989, the Solomon Island allowed that a few Cardinal Lory were exported to the EE.UU.. But, because of the Law on the conservation of wild birds in 1992 The export of the Lori of Solomon Islands to the United States. UU. they banned except that is for authorized reproduction.

The Iris Lorikeet(Psitteuteles iris) It has three subspecies recognized including the nominal, the extent and gradation of red and purple coloration in the head varies among the three subspecies:
Psitteuteles iris iris
The Iris Lorikeet(Psitteuteles iris) has a plumage, in general, Green with stripes of color green light in the underparts.
The forecrown, lores and zone extending in a narrow line around the Crown rear, red. Cheeks yellowish green. The eye-stripe and headphones feathers purple.
Center of the crown, Turquoise, extending it until it nape in a large yellow-green necklace.
The chest and abdomen are yellowish-green. The feathers of the neck and the chest they have dark green edges. Wings and tail green. Bill and irises orange. The legs greyish black.
It presents sexual dimorphism. The Red coloration of the female on head It is more off and less extensive that in the male.
Psitteuteles iris rubripileum
It has all the forecrown and crown Red and the headphones feathers Violet Blue.
Psitteuteles iris wetterensis
Larger, the crown It is red and mixed with Violet Blue variable extension. The cheeks they are dark green. The chest bright yellow contrast with the Panza green.
Note:
It has placed at times as subspecies to the Neopsittacus. The validity of the subspecies Psitteuteles iris rubripileum, is questionable, and it was claimed that the differences with the nominal species It may be due to age or individual variation.
Found up to a height of 1.500 meters above the sea level.
The Iris Lorikeet They inhabit monsoon forests, plantations and agricultural land with flowering trees.
Although they are apparently more common in the higher elevations, its local abundance is based on the availability of trees with flowers for food, as is the case with most Lori.
The flight of the Iris Lorikeet fast and slightly wavy.
Reproduction:
Little is known about the breeding ecology of this species in its natural environment.. A record of a captive calf states that the laying is of two eggs, with a period of incubation of 23 days and emancipation some nine weeks more afternoon.
There are no data on population trend; But, the species is suspected to be in decline due to the capture and the degradation of the habitat.
Previously considered common, but not found in the Island of Wetar during a search in 1990, found only in two places during a study of nine weeks in the jungle in Timor West in 1993.

The birds are found in groups of 4-5. and is them has seen associate it with other birds in them trees low of berries that accrued in the forest. very shy.
Reproduction:
They dig caves in termite tree in which to lay their eggs (also used for rest cavities at night), often close to the ground. The nesting It was observed from mid-June to August. Arndt He found two young in a nest which were visited by the female every two hours. The chamber was filled with dust from the termite mound and contained some broken egg shell and feathers.

Distribution:
Size of its range (breeding/resident ): 66.700 km2
Are distributed in the North of Sulawesi, Indonesian and on the Islands around, including Bangka, Lembeh and Togian. The species also, possibly, It is distributed in groups of Islands Sangir and Banggai. Although its population may be declining due to habitat loss and trade in birds, It is not considered threatened and is still, relatively, common on reserve Dumoga-Bone. It overlaps, although it is less common, with the Golden-mantled Racquet-tail.
Conservation:
• Current category of the Red List of the UICN: Near threatened
• Population trend: Decreasing
The population It has been estimated in the order of 45.000 individuals (Walker and Cahill 2000).
It is suspected that this species has diminished recently at a moderately fast pace, due to the continuing loss of forests.
Conservation Actions Proposed:
– Evaluate the threats to this species. Calculate loss of forests in the lowlands of the North of Sulawesi.
– Investigate the level of dependency of the forest habitats of the species.
– Protect effectively important tracts of forest right in key places, both in strict protection areas and in multiple use areas.

In Timor the species is found in forests, acacia savannas, primary and secondary forest, from sea level to the 2.200 m (2.600 meters altitude extreme). In Wetar, observed in 1990 in recently logged forests, near the coast.
The ecology of the species is probably similar to that of the Red-winged Parrot, but it is not well known; observations of birds that fly involve couples and small flocks. A couple allowed a closer approach, observing her in silence to three meters high in a big tree.
Reproduction:
Their reproductive habits are unknown, probably similar to the of the Red-winged Parrot.
Food:
Probably similar to the of the Red-winged Parrot: seeds, fruit, flowers and insects; in the mangroves, the mistletoe is your favorite food.
Distribution:
Size of the area of distribution (reproduction / resident): 28.500 km2
The world population is estimated at around 10.000 specimens and it is probably stable, although like most Indonesian parrots the species is vulnerable to capture and habitat loss. A moderate number in captivity.
The total population has been estimated at 10,000 individuals (Lambert et to the., 1993), probably including mature individuals 6,700.
The population is suspected that it may be declining due to the continuous destruction of the habitat and unsustainable levels of exploitation.
Ongoing conservation actions
Appendix II of CITES. Quotas were imposed during the Decade zero of 1990 while uncertainty existed about the total population size, but these are not met.
Conservation Actions Proposed
• Review estimates of the population of the species and review the impact of trade on their numbers..
• Determine if declines are still evident.
• Protect areas of suitable habitat.
