Billed red; iris yellow ; greyish legs.

Female with the grey brown peak, not red.

Immature undescribed.

Sound of the Black-lored Parrot.

Habitat:

Information is received for the first time of the Black-lored Parrot Thanks to ornithologist side Hendrik Cornelis Sieber (1890-1949) in 1930.

Very little of this species is known. Is distributed in mountain forests above 600-700 meters and also, according to sources, in the lowlands, hills and coastal areas. It is partially nocturnal, although sightings of birds perched on treetops during the day, They show that, similar to the Azure-rumped parrot, they can also be active during the day.

Migration is relatively weak and there are only a few reports of parrots flying to high altitudes during the day and descending at night., Judging from their voices.

Reproduction:

There is no data.

Food:

Possibly fruits, berries, seeds and nuts

Distribution:

Endemic to Buru, Indonesian.

Bird predominantly occupies the central part, High Island, where according to sources, There are settlements in Gunung Tagalago, WA Temun and Kunturun, at elevations of 700-1100 m, also in the lowlands of the South in Fäkal, EHU and Leksula. There was a sighting of these parrots near Kayeli Bay on the eastern shores of Buru. Most recent observations made outside North (Waflia) and (Wamlana) Northwest Coast.

The voice of the Black-lored Parrot is heard frequently in Kunturun, mostly 1-7 hours after the sunset, where the locals call the bird «The ol' blue cockatoo«, which means Blue-headed Parrot. But, was caught during the day with slingshots in fruit trees, suggesting that his activity is not purely night.

Conservation:

• Current category of the Red List of the UICN: Vulnerable

• Population trend: Decreasing

The population is estimated at 2,500-9,999 mature individuals based on an assessment of the known records, descriptions of the abundance and range size. This estimate is equivalent to 3,500-15,000 specimens.

There are no data on trends for this species and has not been seen in the wild since 1995. Their habitat continues to decline slowly and were recorded in domestic trade in the year 2001. So, the population of the species is suspected of have been declining.

Conservation Actions Proposed:

– Conduct surveys, mostly using their vocalizations at night, mainly in the mountain areas.
– Investigate their ecological requirements and movements in order to develop appropriate conservation strategy.
– Identify the most suitable area for the conservation of this and other endangered species in Buru, and promote its establishment as protected areas.

Habitat:

It inhabits in the rainforest of lowland formations várzea (seasonally flooded forest), and the Mainland (without flooding). Gregarious.

Reproduction:

No details on the reproductive biology of this species.

Food:

diet includes fruit, seeds and berries taken in the forest canopy. Its bareheaded adaptation may be a high frugivore diet, to prevent the fruit pulp enmarañara their feathers.

Distribution and status:

Size of its range (breeding/resident ): 1.030.000 km2

endemic to northeast Brazil, to the South of the amazon, from the eastern state of amazon, on the east bank of Madeira River, passing by For, to the south, up to the Serra do Cachimbo, extending eastward to the areas bordering northwest Maranhão, in the region of the Gurupi River. May be restricted to areas around major rivers within this region, which would mean that the size of the range may be overestimated.

References in relation to its range to include Venezuela (lower basin Caura River) and Guyana, They are apparently wrong.

generally considered Rare, although undoubtedly they not have a lot of data due to the difficulty of observation of this species.

The continuing rapid deforestation throughout its range has had to contribute to a substantial decrease in the population Vulturine Parrot in the last decades.

They can be seen in protected forests in the west of its range, but illegal logging and colonization remain a threat even there.

Conservation:

• Current category of the Red List of the UICN: Vulnerable.

• Population trend: Decreasing.

Rationale for the Red List category

Based on a model of future deforestation in the amazon basin and its dependence on primary forest and sensitivity to fragmentation, It is suspected that population of this species will decrease rapidly during the next three generations and, therefore, It has risen to Vulnerability.

Justification of the population

The population size World has not been quantified, but this species is described as «Rare» (Stotz et to the ., 1996).

Justification of trend

It is suspected that this species has lost 37,1-54,8% of habitat within its distribution over three generations (21 years) starting from a model of deforestation Amazon (Soares-Filho et to the ., 2006, Bird et to the ., 2011). Although the species may have some susceptibility to hunting and / or capture, also it appears to have some degree of tolerance habitat degradation (A. Lees in litt ., 2011). So, you suspect your population decline by 30-49% during three generations.

Conservation Actions Underway

• Is listed as Vulnerable nationally in Brazil (MMA 2014).

• No specific actions known.

Conservation Actions Proposed

• Expand the network of protected areas to effectively protect the IBA.

• Effectively manage existing and new protected areas and resources, using the emerging opportunities for financing the management of protected areas with the overall goal of reducing carbon emissions and maximize the conservation of biodiversity.

• It is also essential to conservation on private land, through the expansion of market pressures for proper land management and prevention of deforestation on land not suitable for agriculture (Soares-Filho et to the., 2006).

• Campaign against proposed changes to the Brazilian Forest Code that would lead to a decrease in the width of the areas of riparian forest protected as Permanent Preservation Areas (APPs), that function as vital corridors in fragmented landscapes.

Deroptyus accipitrinus accipitrinus

(Linnaeus, 1758) – Nominal. With the forecrown whitish.

Deroptyus accipitrinus fuscifrons

(Hellmayr, 1905) – With the forecrown dark brown.

Habitat:

The Red fan Parrot living in the jungle tropical of land low, preferring the formations of land firm, including the ground slightly wavy or of the hills (perhaps due to a greater diversity of plants of which is fed). Apparently prevents them forests and marshes, edge of forest and clear, but there is a report of birds in forest flooded in the drainage of Morona River, Peru, and feeds mainly on riverine forests in Venezuela. Only comes to them 400 meters in the southeast of Colombia and a 200 metres in Venezuela.

Not is very gregarious, are distributed in pairs or small groups of 3-4. On rare occasions, until 10. Pre-breeding aggregations appear to break up into pairs or trios at the onset of nesting. Rest in the cups give the trees in small groups (Perhaps alone in tree cavities). It feeds mainly in the canopy.

Not are very sociable. They show an appearance of Raptor, Deploying the feathers of the back of the head fan.

Reproduction:

Nest in tree holes, including an old nest of Woody Woodpecker, for example of a Woodpecker grebes (Campephilus rubricollis). The rapid flapping of wings, followed of a mild decline of sliding, they give a deeply undulating display flight during the breeding period. Breeding March-June, Venezuela; January-March, Guiana; February-April, Suriname; December-February, Brazil. Clutch 2-3 in captivity.

Food:

Feeds of leaves and outbreaks of Bombacopsis, unripe fruits of Dialium, fruits of Euterpe, Attalea, fagifolia, Astrocaryum; Also takes Inga and guava in cultivated areas.

It is suspected that this species has lost 24-31.3% of habitat suitable within their distribution during three generations (23 years) based on a model of Amazon deforestation (Soares-Filho et to the., 2006, Bird et to the., 2011). But, given the tolerance of the species to the effects of fragmentation / degradation / edges and / or the magnitude of the losses global, It is suspected that will decrease in <25% en tres generaciones.

"Red fan Parrot" in captivity:

The Red fan Parrot or Parrot Hawk is a bird very Intelligent, playful and very beautiful. However and, Despite its undeniable appeal, It is not ideal to have captive species. Are extremely nervous and in occasions this is translated in that is start or bite them feathers or even can get to self-harm is.

The immature are equal to adults, but with less scalloped yellow; the thighs Brown pale and tail shorter. The bill brown. The eye ring White grey.

Sound of the Scaly breasted Lorikeet.

Habitat:

The Scaly breasted Lorikeet they are distributed by many forest habitats, including parks and Gardens located on the outskirts of cities and farmland, where are the flowering trees present.

They usually found in coastal areas and adjacent plateaus.

They have a strong preference for agricultural land and coastal scrub that are dominated by trees of the genus Banksia.

They can also be seen along the rivers, to the West of the Great dividing range. They can live up to 600 m.

The Scaly breasted Lorikeet they have quite similar patterns to the of the Coconut Lorikeet. It is not uncommon to find them together in mixed flocks where one of the two species generally outnumbers the other..

Most of the time, the Scaly breasted Lorikeet they live in pairs or in small groups of up to 10 individuals. They are most active at dawn, shortly after the dormitories are scattered.

They usually roam locally. These short trips are motivated by the search for food.

During flowering of trees, large groups may intervene if resources are abundant. The dispersion of groups is immediately after flowering.

In urban districts, are sedentary Since the sources of food are abundant in the gardens during all the year.

They are particularly friends of cultivated fruit, arriving to cause much damage in the orchards.

These birds have a flying fast and direct. When they are in the air they are immediately identifiable by its green head and bright orange red wings bass. When flying over the tops of them trees with rhythms fast, their wings produce a buzzing sound which is easily audible.

Reproduction:

The nesting season comprises of mayo to February in the North of the area of distribution, probably related to the decrease of rainfall.

In the southern part of the State of Victoria It takes place between August and January.

The Scaly breasted Lorikeet They nest in tree cavities, usually at a considerable height from the ground. They cover the bottom of the nest with a layer of sawdust and then lay two or three white eggs., oval in shape.

The incubation lasts a few 25 days. The male spends most of its time near hollow, but it does not seem to participate in the incubation. Both parents feed the chicks until they leave the nest, of 6 to 8 weeks after hatching.

Food:

The Scaly breasted Lorikeet they have a scheme rather similar to the of the Coconut Lorikeet. Both species feed primarily on nectar and pollen from the flowers especially the Niaouli (Melaleuca quinquenervia).

They feed also on flowers, berries, fruit, seeds, small insects and their larvae. Are big lovers of the fruits cultivated. They also enter sorghum and corn fields because they crave small immature milky grains..

Distribution:

Size of the area of distribution (reproduction / resident): 2.310.000 km2

The Scaly breasted Lorikeet being endemic to the Australian continent.

Its area of distribution extends from Bamaga in the extreme north of Queensland the District of Illawarra, on the South coast of New South Wales.

These birds are sedentary and abundant in the North, nomadic and less numerous in the South. They were introduced in the District of Melbourne, in the State of Victoria.

Conservation:

• Current IUCN Red List category: Least concern

• Population trend: Stable

The population World has not been quantified, but is estimated above 100.000 specimens.

The species is described as common in the center of its area of distribution and more rare toward the areas north and South of their area of distribution.

It is suspected that the population It stable in the absence of evidence of any reduction or substantial threats.

"Scaly breasted Lorikeet" in captivity:

Rare out of Australia; small number in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Gregarious, playful and loud. A bit messy due to a diet of nectar.
Its life in captivity ranges between 20 and 25 years.

Sound of the Collared Lory.

Habitat:

Visible and noisy. Found usually in pairs or in small groups of five to fifteen members, Although flocks have also been of up to 50 birds . They are mainly distributed in the lowlands of humid forest, edge of the forest, plantations and second growth up to 1,200 m, but they can be found anywhere with flowering gardens.

It is usually more common in wet windward areas, being less common on agricultural leeward coasts.

The Collared Lory are Mobile and something nomads, they are prepared to travel to almost any habitat with trees in bloom.

Often seen flying over trees or feeding are loud in acrobatic groups.

Reproduction:

The nesting they occur in the second half of the year, especially after August. Two white eggs are placed in a hollow tree. Adults aggressively defend the nesting sites.

In an instance of captive breeding, the incubation lasted 30 days and the young bird left the nest almost nine weeks later.

In the extreme south of the Fiji Islands group, the Collared Lory It is replaced by the Blue-crowned Lorikeet.

The species is common and the world population is estimated between 10.000 and 100.000 specimens.

Some are kept in captivity. Red feathers were previously used by the Samoan and Tongan to make edges of floor mats, but trade does not seem to have had an impact on the abundance of the species in Fiji. Some birds are reported, they have escaped in Tonga and Samoa.

Conservation:

– Current IUCN Red List category: Least concern.

– The population trend: Stable.

The world's population has not been quantified, but the species is described as common in Viti Levu, the island of Vanua Levu and Makogai and rare in the Ngau island, Fiji.

The population It is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence of any reduction or substantial threats.

– Current IUCN Red List category: Least concern

– The population trend: Decreasing

The world population is considered to be above the 20,000 exemplary but decreasing due to loss of habitat. The subspecies Mindoro is considered as threatened, and both subspecies of Cebu as Siquijor, are nearly extinct the loss of habitat (as these birds are commonly caged and traded between islands, contemporary records of birds from Siquijor they require confirmation to determine whether they refer to the breeds).

The combined population of Mindoro, Sibuyan, Blacks, Surigao del Sur, Tables, Romblon, Masbate, Ticao, Cuimaras and Basilan (subspecies L. p. mindorensis, L. p. bournsi, L. p. Regulus and L. p. dohertyi) probably add in total not more than 5.000 birds.
