Description

Rimatara Lorikeets are native in the Cook Islands, South Pacific, but had been hunted to extinction 200 years ago, because of their beautiful - and precious - red feathers.
Fortunately they are not hunted anymore today and in 2007, 27 birds from Rimatara, an island in French Polynesia, were re-introduced to Atiu island, in the Cook Islands. These stunning Loris have flourished on Atiu ever since.
