Two Lories and three or four Parrakeets are found in Fiji, a beautiful blue and white lory inhabits Tahiti, together with a species of parrakeet.
The family of brush-tongued Lories is represented in the island continent by many beautiful forms.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "lories" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
