Plate 72 from Christian Ludwig Brehms Monographie der Papageien (1855): A Detailed Illustration of the Chattering Lory, Lorius garrulus This exquisite illustration, Plate 72 from Christian Ludwig Brehms Monographie der Papageien (1855), showcases the vibrant and captivating features of the Chattering Lory, Lorius garrulus. Brehms, a renowned German naturalist and ornithologist, meticulously documented various species of parrots in his comprehensive work. The Chattering Lory, also known as the Red-crowned Lory, is a medium-sized, colorful parrot native to New Guinea and the nearby islands. In this illustration, the lory is depicted perched gracefully on a branch, its long, curved beak poised for feeding. Its red nape, which gives the bird its name, is prominently displayed, contrasting with its predominantly green plumage. The lory's wings are spread slightly, revealing the intricate patterns on its wing joints. The illustration also highlights the strong, hooked beak and shoulder joint, typical of the Psittaciformes order, which includes parrots and parakeets. The Sauropsida classification, which includes reptiles and birds, is also indicated in the title. The Chattering Lory is known for its distinctive, high-pitched calls, which can be heard echoing through the forests of its habitat. This illustration not only captures the physical beauty of this remarkable bird but also provides a glimpse into the natural history of the avian world during the mid-19th century.
