The collared lory (Vini solitaria) is a species of parrot in the family Psittaculidae. It is found in Fiji, where it inhabits tropical forests but has also adapted to urban environments, including the capital, Suva. Measuring around 20 centimetres (8 in) in length, it has bright scarlet underparts and cheeks, a purple crown and greenish upperparts. It feeds on fruit, seeds, nectar and blossoms, and is usually found in pairs or small groups. The species nests in tree hollows, sometimes using holes in rotting coconuts still attached to trees. Its colourful feathers were historically prized and traded between Fiji, Samoa and Tonga. This collared lory, perched on an octopus tree, was photographed in Colo-i-Suva Forest Reserve in south-eastern Fiji.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp
