The Green-naped Lory is the most common of the Rainbow Lories.
Description
The color of the head is mostly a deep blue. The lower throat and the breast are bright red with a heavy publish-black barring. The abdomen is green
They can be good pets, but some individuals become nippy, especially at sexual maturity. They are not very noisy and can learn to speak fairly well. Because of their dietary requirements that consists mainly of fruit and nectar,, they are messy birds and difficult to maintain indoors unless special arrangements are made to create an indoor environment that is easy to clean and disinfect.

Lisa Jacobson - Jake's owner - describes Jake as follows: "Jake was my best friend, two of us had so much fun. I think I learned more from him than he learned from me in the short time we had together. He used to ask everyone that came over if the wanted to take a bath and if they ignored them he would ask again louder and start out with 'What the Hell, wanna take a bath'?"
Jake RIP - Sadly, Another beautiful companion bird has crossed the rainbow bridge ... Jake was killed by a dog who got into the house. Jake was born with a defective wing and couldn’t fly away. He is missed more than words can express.
