EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, taken from Th. Lejeune's Complete Works of Buffon, showcases two exquisite and vibrant bird species: the Eclectus Parrot (Eclectus roratus) and the Chattering Lory (Lorius garrulus). Both birds are native to the Pacific islands and northern Australia, and are admired for their striking plumage and unique characteristics. The Eclectus Parrot, with its vivid red and blue plumage, is a popular choice among bird enthusiasts and collectors. The male is predominantly red, while the female displays a deep emerald green coloration. Their beaks are black, and they possess a distinctive yellow ring around their eyes. Eclectus Parrots are known for their ability to mimic human speech, making them popular pets. However, their numbers are declining due to habitat loss and capture for the pet trade, making them a vulnerable species. The Chattering Lory, also known as the Rainbow Lory, is a medium-sized parrot with a multicolored plumage. Their feathers range from green, blue, and red to yellow and orange, creating a stunning rainbow effect. Chattering Lorries are named for their distinctive vocalizations, which sound like a series of rapid chattering noises. They are important seed dispersers in their native habitats and play a crucial role in maintaining the health of the forests. Unfortunately, their populations are declining due to habitat loss and capture for the pet trade, making them a vulnerable species. This beautiful and intricately detailed lithograph not only captures the essence of these two remarkable birds but also serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts to protect them and their habitats.
