In fact, this lory is not completely all red. On this picture, taken from its back, shows that its back has deep blue feathers.

This blue feathers make the lory more beautiful.

A shot of grooming.

You can see that each feathers have different colour. However, if they were spread wider, we were able to tell the difference easier.

A feather of Red Lory has different colour on the front and the back.
