About us
Scientific name: Pseudeos fuscata
Dusky lories are usually observed in pairs or small flocks, but large noisy groups of over 50 birds are not uncommon, sometimes in company with rainbow lorikeets. They usually prefer to feed in tree canopies rather than the ground and will travel vast distances to find food.
