Te lo cuento en español, que me explico mejor: "loro" es un nombre general para referirse a todo tipo de estas aves mientras que "papagayo" hace referencia a aquellos loros de pelaje rojo o azul que viven en los países del Caribe.
Si preguntas a otras personas también te dirán que mientras que los papagayos solamente son americanos los loros también pueden ser africanos.
Saludos y espero que te sirva la respuesta.
Lories and lorikeets (tribe Lorini) are small to medium-sized arboreal parrots characterized by their specialized brush-tipped tongues for feeding on nectar of various blossoms and soft fruits, preferably berries. The species form a monophyletic group within the parrot family Psittacidae. Traditionally, they were considered a separate subfamily (Loriinae) from the other subfamily (Psittacinae) based on the specialized characteristics, but recent molecular and morphological studies show that the group is positioned in the middle of various other groups. They are widely distributed throughout the Australasian region, including south-eastern Asia, Polynesia, Papua New Guinea, Timor Leste and Australia, and the majority have very brightly coloured plumage.
The usage of the terms "lory" and "lorikeet" is subjective, like the usage of "parrot" and "parakeet". Species with longer tapering tails are generally referred to as "lorikeets", while species with short blunt tails are generally referred to as "lories".[
Parakeets vs Lorikeets
Parakeets and lorikeets are actually cousins. They are a certain species of parrots, yet they have very significant differences between them. These differences are not exactly pronounced, but they definitely separate one from another. So what are parakeets? And what are lorikeets?
Parakeets
Parakeets is a term for a group of parrots that are generally small or medium sized and have long tail feathers and a slender body. To be frank, any small parrot that has a slender body and a long tail can be called a parakeet. In fact, there are many kinds like the Budgerigar, ringnecked parakeets, Monk parakeets and Lineolated parakeets, among others.
