**Eos squamata** **Common Name:** Violet-necked Lory The Violet-necked Lory (*Eos squamata*) is a strikingly colorful parrot native to the northern Maluku Islands of Indonesia. It is known for its brilliant red plumage, contrasting violet-blue markings, and distinctive coloration around the neck and head. Adults are predominantly bright red, with a prominent violet-blue band extending across the neck and upper breast. The wings are marked with darker red and blue-violet feathers, while the face features subtle blue-violet accents. Its vivid coloration gives the species a particularly dramatic appearance. The Violet-necked Lory inhabits tropical lowland forests, forest edges, and wooded areas, where it is commonly found in the canopy. Like other lories, it has a specialized brush-tipped tongue adapted for feeding on nectar and pollen. Fruits and soft plant material also form part of its diet. Active, agile, and highly social, the species is often observed moving rapidly between flowering trees in pairs or small groups. Its intense red plumage and contrasting violet markings make the Violet-necked Lory one of the most distinctive parrots of the Maluku Islands. **Scientific Name:** *Eos squamata* **Family:** Psittaculidae **Common Name:** Violet-necked Lory **Distribution:** Northern Maluku Islands, Indonesia **Habitat:** Tropical lowland forest, forest edges, and woodland
