My lory has a different shaped beak [and he doesnt hurt ] he sticks his tongue in my ear LOL. We thought he would be a good family pet [ they used him for school demonstations.] Hes very people accepting . His downfall ,the diet ,the mess and aggressive towards other birds. [Find that perfect lory ] I contacted a lady [or tried ] in Buffalo NY that had them on her site [I was calling about a 2 for myself ] but thought of you when I saw their picture. She never returned my call was not impressed.
