Welcome to the forums to you and your flock @Italianroo! Please do not be concerned about "negative comments" as that is not what we do here

If you are able to have your lori checked out by an avian vet that may be to your advantage. Black discolouration to the feathers can have a number of causes, and issues with liver and/or kidney function can be one of them - sadly it has happened to me. I've attached a link to our worldwide list of avian specialists just in case you don't already have one that you see ...

Certainly some photos of your lori may be helpful, and we'd love to see your birds anyway! Thank you for joining, I'm so glad you found us
