The Yellow-Streaked Lory 

 The Yellow-Streaked Lory (Eos crepitans) is a beautiful and unique species of parrot native to the island of New Guinea. They are known for their bright yellow and green feathers and their playful, energetic personalities.

Yellow-Streaked Lories have a distinctive appearance, with a bright yellow head and neck, green body, and red beak. They have an average length of 33 cm and a weight of around 300-400 g. These birds are also characterized by their long tails, which can make up over half of their total length.

In the wild, Yellow-Streaked Lories feed on nectar and fruits, making them important pollinators for the plants in their habitats. They are also known to feed on the sap of trees and to occasionally eat insects.

These birds are highly social and playful, making them popular as pets. They are known for their ability to bond closely with their owners and for their intelligence. They are also known for their talking ability and can learn to mimic human speech, although they may be more prone to repeating sounds than forming clear words.

Yellow-Streaked Lories are considered to be vulnerable in the wild due to habitat loss and trapping for the pet trade. It is important to only buy pet birds that have been bred in captivity to avoid supporting the illegal trade in wild-caught birds. In addition, it is important to provide proper care for pet lories, including a healthy diet, spacious cage, and plenty of opportunities for socialization and exercise.

Overall, the Yellow-Streaked Lory is a beautiful and fascinating species that can make a wonderful pet for the right person. With proper care, they can live up to 15 years or more, providing years of enjoyment and companionship.
