Threats to these parrots include habitat loss and trapping for the cagebird trade.
For example, between 1983 and 1989 an average of 3,200 red lories were trapped and exported per year, which has apparently led to declines in some parts of its range.
The red-and-blue lory is an endangered species, and the black-winged lory is classed as vulnerable.
The red-and-blue lory is listed under Appendix I of CITES, banning all trade in wild caught birds, while all other species are listed under Appendix II and require permits for their trade.
