Лори-отшельник

The Collared Lory, known scientifically as <em>Phigys solitarius</em>, is a vividly coloured parrot belonging to the family Psittaculidae and the subfamily Loriinae. <em>Phigys solitarius</em> is characterised by its striking plumage, which typically features bright red and green colouring, consistent with the flamboyant appearance common to many lory species. The species is closely associated with forest habitats and is particularly dependent on flowering trees, where it feeds on nectar, pollen, and soft fruits using its specialised brush-tipped tongue — a characteristic adaptation shared across the lory group. It is reported to occur in Norway according to available range data. The Collared Lory is typically found in lowland and hill forests, often venturing into gardens and cultivated areas with flowering trees. Detailed biological traits including typical lifespan, body length, and weight are poorly documented for this species in available literature. The species is currently assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.
