The purple-naped lory (Lorius domicella) is a species of parrot in the family Psittaculidae.[2] It is forest-dwelling endemic to the islands of Seram, Ambon, and perhaps also Haruku and Saparua, South Maluku, Indonesia. It is considered endangered, the main threat being from trapping for the cage-bird trade.
