Red lory, Eos rubra.
Red lory, Eos rubra. Blue tipped lory, Psittacus caeruleatus. Hand-coloured steel engraving by Joseph Kidd (after Francois Levaillant) from Sir Thomas Dick Lauder and Captain Thomas Brown's "Miscellany of Natural History: Parrots," Edinburgh, 1833. The Miscellany was intended to be a multi-volume series, but was brought to an abrupt halt after only the second volume on cats when John Audubon complained about the unauthorized use of his illustrations.
