Feeding Lory Parrot’s at Ardastra Gardens, Zoo & Conservation Centre. Nassau, New Providence, Bahamas.

Lory or lorikeet The difference between the two is approximately the same as the difference between a parrot and a parakeet Lory generally refers to a bird with a short tail while lorikeets have a long tail Lories have extremely strong feet as well as super sharp nails They spend more time hanging sideways and upside down from branches than sitting up right when feeding They will even hang from the side of the cage to eat rather than sit on a perch Some species will use their foot as a hand when feeding similar to the larger parrots while others have not exhibited this behavior One partner of a pair may hold a grape with it s foot while both feed from it
