A small bright parrot of Australasia that feeds on nectar.
The tongue is the whole story: it ends in a brush of fine hairs that mops up pollen and nectar, so a lory cannot live on the seed diet that suits its relatives. Cage-bird keepers learn this the expensive way, and in the wild a flock arriving in a flowering tree can be heard two streets away.
