EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 44 of the John Reeves Collection of Zoological Drawings from Canton, China, showcases the vibrant and captivating Lorius garrulus, also known as the Chattering Lory or the Orange-bellied Lory. This stunning watercolor illustration, created in the nineteenth century, offers a detailed and accurate representation of this exotic and intriguing bird species. The Chattering Lory is native to the tropical rainforests of Asia, specifically in the countries of Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands. This medium-sized parrot is easily recognizable by its bright orange underbelly, contrasting with its predominantly green plumage. The bird perched on the branch in this illustration displays its distinctive beak, which is hooked at the tip, a characteristic feature of the Lorikeet family to which the Chattering Lory belongs. The Chattering Lory is named for its distinctive vocalizations, which are a series of rapid, high-pitched calls that sound like chattering. These birds are social animals and are often found in flocks, feeding on nectar and fruit. Their diet consists mainly of a wide variety of flowers and fruits, which they extract with their long, curved beaks. This illustration, created in the 19th century by an unknown artist, offers a glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating bird species. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the watercolor bring the Chattering Lory to life, transporting us to the lush rainforests of Asia where these birds thrive. The branch on which the bird is perched adds to the sense of realism, further emphasizing the beauty and grace of this remarkable bird.
