blåskjegglori Eos semilarvata

A spectacular, long-tailed bright red parrot with purple-blue cheeks and throat, scattered blue markings on the wings, and a deep blue belly. Juveniles duller, showing less blue. Found primarily in montane forest, but also occurs in foothills. Typically seen in groups. Limited to the island of Seram. Differs from Red and Purple-naped Lories in its blue belly, extensive blue cheeks, and blue throat. Noisy, giving harsh shrieks mostly in flight, including repetitive “EEK” and “EE-ER” notes.
