Collared Lory (Phigys solitarius)

[guppiecat]

This bird is bright red, bright green, and has a bright purple crown. It is the only rain forest bird in Fiji to learn how to live in cities. It is the only species in its genus. It lays its eggs in rotting coconuts.

So, of course, it’s going to be named after a truck with a collar.
