    A few years ago I remember seeing a couple of Papuan Lorikeets in th rainforest aviary within the islands in Danger complex. Where have they gone?

    There are also a pair of red and Blue lories in the zoos collection. Does anyone know where they will go? They are currently off-show in the rare parrot breeding centre.

    The Papuan Lorikeets died out and the Red and Blue Lories are staying in the offshow parrot house.

    Will they get anymore papuan lories? Their aviary seems pretty empty now.
