THE HAND-REARING OF THREE DUSKY LORY Pseudeos fascata CHICKS AT WELTVOGELPARK WALSRODE

摘要

The Dusky Lory Pseudeos fascata is found on the island of New Guinea and on nearby Japen Island and the island of Salawati. It inhabits rainforest up to 2,400m (approx. 7,875ft), but can also be seen in suburban parks and occasionally even in plantations and on the savannah. It is a highly gregarious species and sometimes forms roosts of several thousand birds. Like other species of lories, it feeds mainly on nectar and also takes pollen, coconut blossoms and feeds on fruits such as mangos.
