   n[=u]r[=i].] (Zo["o]l.)
   Any one of many species of small parrots of the family
   Trichoglossid[ae], generally having the tongue papillose at
   the tip, and the mandibles straighter and less toothed than
   in common parrots. They are found in the East Indies,
   Australia, New Guinea, and the adjacent islands. They feed
   mostly on soft fruits and on the honey of flowers.
