Welcome to the Lory’s Nest, home of the Mt. Goliath Lorikeet, Stella Lorikeet, Red-Flanked Lorikeet and Blue Crown Lory.

Here at the Lory’s Nest we have been breeding lories and lorikeets since 1976.  We have specialized in the breeding of Mt Goliath (Stella) Lorikeets since 1988 and have both color phases, red and melanistic.  We have added over 200 individuals to the captive breeding stock in the United States, Mexico, Jamaica, and Israel. We have managed our flock into the fourth generation of unrelated pairs.  There are several reasons we decided to specialize in the Mt. Goliath Lorikeet also known as the Stella Lorikeet. They are beautiful birds that are medium in size.  They have a pleasant sounding call that is not very loud and they have playful personalities. They make good parents and are not nervous in captivity.

 We also keep a small number of Blue Crown Lories as well as Red-Flanked Lorikeets.  These are some of the smallest of the lory species.  We find these birds to be delightful, enchanting creatures of great beauty.  It has been our experience that they do well in aviculture and are not difficult to breed.  All of our birds are raised in the nest by their parents for better future breeding.

 We believe that through sharing information and pictures of these amazing birds, others will find them as enjoyable as we do.  On the following pages we have included information about the bird species (Our Birds) as well as many photographs (Photos).  There are even a few small movie clips.  We hope that you will enjoy them.
