Ear cleaning by a Lory – Priceless!

“Probing with their long, brush-tipped tongues, lories enjoy examining the eyes, ears and lips of their favorite person.”



The picture says it all. This Lory really liked me. After we fed it it jumped up on my shoulder and proceeded to clean my ear THOROUGHLY. You wouldn’t believe how long that feathered tongue is or how weird it feels cleaning your ear. After my ear the bird goes on Penny’s head and groomed her for a while. Then it went back to my other shoulder and proceeded to clean that ear.

There was an old Laugh-In line “Blow in my ear and I’ll follow you anywhere”. It was sort of neat having an animal interact that way. It made me want to have one as a pet. I bet Brie would like that!
