The Yellow-bibbed lory (Lorius chlorocercus) is a striking parrot species native to the forests of New Guinea. Its vibrant plumage features predominantly red coloring, accented by a distinctive yellow patch on its chest, which gives it its nаme. This lory is well-adapted to diverse forest environments, ranging from lowland rainforests to mountainous regions across its range.

Feeding primarily on nectar, pollen, fruits, and seeds, the Yellow-bibbed lory plays a crucial role in pollination and seed dispersal within its ecosystem. Its specialized beak is adapted for efficiently accessing nectar from flowers, making it an important part of New Guinea’s floral diversity.

Socially, Yellow-bibbed lories are known to gather in small flocks and exhibit complex vocalizations for communication. They are active and agile flyers, often seen darting through the forest canopy in search of food and suitable nesting sites.

Despite their natural adaptability, Yellow-bibbed lories face threats from habitat destruction due to logging and human encroachment, as well as capture for the illegаl pet trade. Conservation efforts are essential to protect their forest habitats and ensure their continued survival in the wild. Efforts such as habitat preservation and regulation of trade are critical for safeguarding the future of this colorful and ecologically important species on New Guinea.
