Vini (vini lorikeets)

Synonyms: Vinia

Wikipedia Abstract

Vini is a genus of birds endemic to the islands of the tropical Pacific. There are five extant species of these small lorikeets ranging from eastern Fiji through Samoa, French Polynesia, and as far east as Henderson Island. All members of the genus have exceptional bright plumage, particularly the unusual all over blues of the blue lorikeet and the ultramarine lorikeet. The collared lory (Phigys solitarius) is sometimes considered to be in this genus. List of species:
