(Zoöl) Any one of many species of small parrots of the family Trichoglossidæ, generally having the tongue papillose at the tip, and the mandibles straighter and less toothed than in common parrots. They are found in the East Indies, Australia, New Guinea, and the adjacent islands.

(n)
lory
One of a large number of parrots constituting the subfamily Loriinæ, or forming a separate family Trichoglossidæ; any brush-tongued parrakeet, or lorikeet. They are mostly of small size and brilliant coloration, inhabiting parts of Asia, the Malay archipelago, and Oceania. Lorius domicella is a characteristic example. All the lories properly so called are trichoglossine or brush-tongued, excepting those of the genus Loriculus (or Coryllis); but the name extends to some similar parrakeets of a different group, as those of the genus Eclectus. See Lorius, Loriculus, Loriinæ, and Trichoglossinæ. See also cut under Domicella. -
