(1) Some species are under extreme pressure because of traps and harassment. So, the open availability of high-quality recordings of these species may further worsen the problems, this being the reason why downloading these recordings is off. In conclusion, recorders themselves are free to share these files on xeno-canto, but they will have to approve access to these recordings.
We do not take this action lightly, and we wish it wasn't necessary, but we are convinced that the negative impacts of offering easy access to these recordings outweigh the benefits. To access these recordings, You can contact directly with the recorder.
Description 3 subspecies:

Trichoglossus capistratus capistratus
(Bechstein, 1811) – Nominal.
-
Trichoglossus capistratus flavotectus

Habitat “Bridled Lory”:
The Marigold Lorikeet They are in mixed flocks with other parrots; small and noisy groups. Nomads, since they depend on flowering trees. It perches communally in groups of hundreds of birds.
It is more common in lowlands, but it is up to altitudes of 2400 m. Wide variety of areas including settlements, forests, coconut plantations, Savanna, eucalyptus forests and mangroves, including dry forest Roti.
Reproduction «Bridled Lory»:
Total of 21 nests found in Sumba between late August and early October 1992, all cavities in large trees (principalmente deciduous).
Feeding «Flanged lory»:
Few specific dietary data, but presumably similar to Trichoglossus haematodus and it is known to take nectar and pollen from native trees, as well as figs and insects.
Distribution «Flanged lory»:
Extension of the distribution (breeding/resident): 171.000 km2
The Marigold Lorikeet It is a species of parrot endemic to the islands of Southeast Asia Sumba, Roti, Wetar and Blend (Indonesian) and Timor (Indonesia and East Timor).
Distribution 3 subspecies:
-
Trichoglossus capistratus capistratus
(Bechstein, 1811) – Nominal. Observed in Timor.
-
Trichoglossus capistratus flavotectus
(Hellmayr, 1914) – It is located on the islands Wetar, Romang and Blend, to the northeast of Timor.
-
Trichoglossus capistratus fortis
(Hartert, 1898) – Is located in Sumba, Lesser Sunda Islands.
Conservation «Flanged Lory»:
1. Current red list category of the UICN: Least concern.
2. The population trend: Decreasing.
3. Population size : —.
Rationale for the Red List category
Although this species may have a restricted range, It not believed to approach the thresholds Vulnerable under the criterion of size range (Scope of the presence <20.000 km2 combined with a decreasing area size or fluctuating distribution, extension / habitat quality, or population size and a small number of places or severe fragmentation).
While the trend of the population seems to be decreasing, the decline is not believed to be rapid enough to approach the Vulnerable thresholds according to the population trend criterion (decrease of more than 30% in ten years or three generations).
The population size has not been quantified, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds Vulnerable under the criterion of population size (<10.000 mature individuals with an estimated continuous decrease in> 10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specific population structure). For these reasons, the species is assessed as Least concern.
Justification of the population
Global population size has not been quantified, but the species is described as common in Timor (pit et to the. 1997).
Justification trend
They suspected that the population is declining due to unsustainable levels of exploitation.
Threats
The species has been the subject of a intense trade: from 1981, When it was included in the Appendix II of the CITES, they have been 100.388 individuals captured in international trade (UNEP-WCMC CITES Trade Database, January 2005).
In captivity:
It's one of the lori rainbow less noisy although uncommon in captivity except for Dili (Capital of Timor Oriental), where it is quite common. Its longevity It 20 years en libertad, 15-25 years in captivity.
