[edit]

The name Black Lory refers to the subspecies 'Chalcopsitta atra atra'. The Rajah or Red-quilled lory 'Chalcopsitta a. insignis' is a different subspecies. Bernstein's Lory 'chalcopsitta a. bernsteini' is another 'Chalcopsitta atra' subspecies. Voodlecat 12:39, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Puzzling that there isn't a short section or at least a sentence fairly high up regarding the black lory's range. (I realize it's there in the subspecies details, but one has to search a bit for that.) Sca (talk) 14:28, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
