**Eos histrio** **Common Name:** Red-and-blue Lory The Red-and-blue Lory (*Eos histrio*) is a striking and highly distinctive parrot endemic to the Talaud Islands of Indonesia. It is renowned for its brilliant scarlet-red plumage, vivid blue facial and breast markings, and restricted island distribution. Adults are predominantly bright red, with a broad blue band extending across the face, cheeks, and upper breast. The wings are dark red with contrasting blue and blackish markings, while the lower body and tail display rich red coloration. Its dramatic combination of scarlet and deep blue makes it one of the most visually distinctive members of the genus *Eos*. The Red-and-blue Lory inhabits tropical forests, forest edges, and cultivated areas, where it moves actively through the canopy in search of food. Like other lories, it possesses a specialized brush-tipped tongue adapted for feeding on nectar and pollen. Fruits, flowers, and other soft plant material also form an important part of its diet. Highly active and social, the species is often seen in pairs or small groups. Its vivid coloration, energetic behavior, and extremely limited natural range make the Red-and-blue Lory a particularly remarkable representative of Indonesia's island avifauna. **Scientific Name:** *Eos histrio* **Family:** Psittaculidae **Common Name:** Red-and-blue Lory **Distribution:** Talaud Islands, Indonesia **Habitat:** Tropical forest, forest edges, and cultivated areas
