As the year comes to a close, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for being part of our flock!

May your Christmas be filled with laughter, cheer, and time with those who bring you joy!

Cheers to a milestone as well of successfully breeding and weaning 3 Red Collared Lorikeet babies in one clutch which is not a very common phenomenon out here in our country.

Warm wishes,
The Gift Of Flight Team

Duyvenbode’s Lory 😍 is a visual stunner of the Lory Kingdom; not only due to their unique colour pattern but also cause of their attitude and nature towards the humankind. This underrated species guarantees to fill your life with twice the joy you can possibly imagine.

The Amazon Story 🦜

We here at Gift Of Flight are thrilled to announce finally the progress report of both the parents pair in our aviary. We have bred 2 beautiful Blue Fronted Amazons (Amazona aestiva) and 1 gorgeous Yellow Crowned Amazon (Amazona ochrocephala) after quite a while. It is as good as leaving a footprint in the history of Indian Aviculture as we don’t have decades of experience. It is a gift from God and we are indebted to him for showering his blessings. We also share our heartiest thanks to each and every people involved during this process.

Hope you all will be excited to see this marvellous album, please do pray for their good health and prosperity.

Celebrating World Parrot 🦜 Day 2024

The Ornate Lorikeet was formally described by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus in 1758 in the tenth edition of his Systema Naturae under the binomial name Psittacus ornatus. Linnaeus based his description of the "Lory Parrakeet" that had been described and illustrated in 1751 by George Edwards in his "A Natural History of Uncommon Birds". Linnaeus mistakenly specified the location as "America" although Edwards had stated that the bird had come from the "East Indies" (actually the Indonesian island of Sulawesi).

The ornate lorikeet was formerly placed in the genus Trichoglossus but was moved to a newly introduced genus Saudareos based on the results of a molecular genetic analysis of the lorikeets published in 2020.

This is mainly a green parrot about 25 cm (10.0 in) long. Its head above its eyes is purple-blue and its face below its eyes is red. There is red at back of the head and yellow behind the eyes. It does not have a collar at the back of the neck that rainbow lorikeets have. Its chin to chest has transverse strips and bars of red and blue. Its abdomen is green with sparse variable yellow scalloping. The beak is orange-red, the irises are dark orange, the eye-ring is dark grey, and the legs are grey.

It usually gathers in pairs or in small flocks, though large flocks have been observed. It may sometimes form mixed flocks with the yellow and green lorikeet.
