Indigo-winged Parrot

Content

Description:

23-24 cm.. height.

In 2002 It was the rediscovery of the the Indigo-winged Parrot (Hapalopsittaca fuertesi), an enigmatic parrot that had been lost to the world for more than 90 years and continues being one of the birds more rare of the Earth. It has a plumage mainly yellowish-green and is highlighted by the blue of the crown and olive yellow tone of the forecrown (except a strip), cheeks and sides of the eyes, narrow strip in the forecrown, under abdomen and shoulders red. End of the wing blue violet dark, tail Blue with red base.

The bill Horn colored with blue color, Grey at the base of the upper jaw. Iris Green-yellow.

The immature It has less yellow streaks and more off face.

Habitat:

Is a kind of range restricted, very rare and difficult to observe. It inhabits high Andean forests and frequent cloud subparamos, between 2600 and 3800 m on the level of the sea, being the majority of the records between 2.900 and 3.150 m. With guavas, encenillo and laurels where he eats fruits of thematapalo”, and with Oak (Quercus humboldtii).

Observed in fairly open forests, and possibly disturbed, with small Palm trees and tree ferns.

Fly in flocks of 6 to 25 individuals.

Reproduction:

It believes that the nests they make them in cavities of tall, mature trees.

The nesting period takes place from January to may. The average size clutch is three eggs. The incubation is performed only by the female, Although the attention back to the hatching is biparental (Díaz 2006).

Food:

The ecology of breeding and feeding of the Indigo-winged Parrot is practically unknown, but it has been observed the birds feeding of berries, and is likely to show a preference for the berries of mistletoe.

Distribution:

Size distribution (reproduction / resident): 100 km2

Restricted to a small strip on the western slope of the Andes Central of Colombia, near the border of the Quindio, Risaralda and Tolima.

Conservation:


critical hazard


• Current category of the Red List of the UICN: critically endangered.

• Population trend: Decreasing.

According to the categories of UICN is considered in Critical Hazard (CR), due to the accelerated process of deforestation in the Andean forests.

Since ago 90 years it was thought that the bird was extinct until it was rediscovered in 2002, When a few biologists of the ProAves Foundation in the montane forest of the municipality of Genoa, department of Quindío, where the group more large observed consisted of 25 birds and the total population was of approximately 60 individuals.

Currently there are some 300 mature free individuals.
Thanks to the efforts made by different project is have retrieved data of them fluctuations in the abundances of them individuals during the year associated to its reproduction. Is very likely that the offer of the artificial nests This already having a positive impact that the length of the project It has observed an increase in the size population.

Anatomy-parrots

Description:

Of 35 cm.. height and a weight between 400 and 500 g..

The Mascarene parrot † (Mascarinus mascarin) It was a bird dark grayish brown on top, lighter at the bottom; the the tail feathers They were brown with white bases; head lavender gray; lores and area around the bill black. had the bill bright red. The legs They were reddish brown and eyes red.

taxonomy:

A genetic study of 2011 He placed the Mascarene Parrot of Meeting between subspecies of Black Parrot (Coracopsis nigra) of Madagascar and nearby islands, and therefore would not be related to the parrots of Psittacula as believed. It was found that the lineage of Mascarene Parrot It separated made between 4,6 and 9 millions of years, before the formation of the isla Meeting, indicating that it must have happened somewhere else

Habitat:

Nothing is known, although it is likely to be distributed in uninhabited forests where feed on fruits and nuts.

Reproduction:

No data.

Food:

Probably fruits and nuts.

Distribution:

The Mascarene Parrot It was described by many early travelers to Reunion Island (in France), with several captive birds sent to France at the end of the 18th century.

The last accounts of wild birds were from the 1980s. 1770, and the birds were not mentioned by Bory a 1804, so the species may well have been extinct in the wild by then. captive birds in Paris they would also have died at that time, but one bird survived in the collection of birds king Bavaria at least 1834 (checks 1987). Two specimens survive today (Forshaw and Cooper 1989)

Conservation:

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

• Population size : There are none.

Rationale for the Red List category

This species was known from the Réunion, but it has been extinguished by the hunting pressure. The last record of wild birds dates from 1775, and none was observed on a visit in 1804.

Justification of the population

There are none.

Threats

It is likely to have been hunted to extinction.

Dusky lory
Pseudeos fuscata

Origin: Papua New Guinea
Character: active and playful
Life expectancy: 28 to 35 years
Height: 23 to 28 cm..

Lori Sombrío

Content

Description

23-28 cm.. height and a weight between 140 and 190 gr.

The plumage of the Dusky lory (Pseudeos fuscata) It is difficult to describe since there are many differences in tonality between one and the other specimens.. Some are of a very dark brown color, almost black and others have a much lighter shade. In addition the same happens with the two bands that cross you the chest Since the species goes through three phases: red, Orange and yellow, according to age, gender and the place of origin.

Characteristic of this species is the area of ​​bare skin under the lower jaw until the birth of the throat. The lower wing coverts are orange and the lower flows dark blue. The obispillo is a silvery-white the bill is bright orange. The irises is orange and the legs dark.

There is no sexual dimorphism and the only way to differentiate male and female will be through DNA, Although some authors (Tomas Arndt) they are running that adult females lack the white feathers of the obispillo.

Habitat:

The Dusky lory they are quite widespread and locally common in primary forests , that is to say, those who have not undergone any transformation. But they are also found in wooded areas, up to an altitude of 2.400 m, During regeneration, especially those with large mature trees.

They are also distributed among residual tree beds during their flowering period., including those located in the parks and gardens in cities.

They are occasionally present in the lightly wooded Savannah or plantations of teak and coconut trees.

They normally reside in the landscape of hills or slopes steep slightly from low and middle mountain.

It´s gregarious and when flies or are fed in the cup of them trees full of flowers it makes in groups of 20 to 100 individuals or more.

Reproduction:

The nesting season It is very different depending on the region: It extends from November to April in the mountainous areas of East, While in Irian Jaya, the Indonesian part, they do in July.

The Dusky lory they prefer to nest in tall trees in the mountain area, the choice of a hole at high altitude on Earth probably do to protect itself against potential predators.

If the site is of your liking, reuse it for many years consecutively. Male and female participate in the work, the enlargement of the entrance or the cavity itself. Even if the nest has been used in the past, There are always minor changes to be carried out.

Although this species is quite common, We really know very little about its reproduction in the wild. In captivity, the female lays two eggs which are incubated for approximately 24 days. As in most New Guinea lories, the reproductive cycle is very long, about 70 days.

Food:

Consumes mainly nectar and perhaps the pollen it accumulates in plants of the genus schleffera or tree Rudraksha (Elaeocarpus sphaericus). Also consume flowers and fruits. It can be seen in large flocks in mango plantations and other cultivated trees. Feeds, occasionally, teak moth (Hyblaea puera).

Distribution:

The Dusky lory It has its area of distribution largely of New Guinea, except the mountains more high of the interior and the peaks more high of the mountains of Parotia.

They are present in Salawati on the Western Islands of papua and further to the East in the Yapen island on Cenderawasih Bay.

Conservation:


minor concern


– Current IUCN Red List category: Least concern

– The population trend: Stable

The species are not threatened. Common and very sociable, It often forms bedrooms that can reach thousand of birds.

A wild population estimated above 100.000 individuals.

In some parts of the southeast of New Guinea, its density may be superior to 30 birds per square kilometer.

"Dusky lory" in captivity:

Are birds enough prolific and sociable you adapt easily to captivity.

Contrary to other parrots that eat mainly seeds and nuts; The loris require a greater percentage of fruits, outbreaks, nectar and pollen in your diet. In fact, in the nature, they can feed a maximum of 640 flowers in a day. They also feed on seeds.

It is usually aggressive with other species of lory. Easy to startle with strangers.

Habitat:

This species lives a nomadic life, mainly on the Plains. It is in a wide variety of forest habitats, including dense eucalyptus plots Melaleuca, swamp forest, savannas and Shrublands, grasslands and sometimes mangroves.

The Varied Lorikeet They also inhabit regions of rolling hills and wooded areas along streams. They live in pairs, in small groups or large groups that are often associated with the Red-collared Lorikee (Trichoglossus rubritorquis), although they have a much calmer demeanor than the latter.

are very aggressive with other species nectarivores that are competing for the same flower beds.

outside the breeding season, the Varied Lorikeet they become more mobile because the blooming trees are rarer. In some areas they are most abundant from April to may and from September to October. But, the information is not sufficient to say that this bird is a seasonal migrant.

Reproduction:

Size of its range (reproduction / resident): 2.170.000 km2

This bird is endemic in northern Australian continent.

Its area of distribution extends from Broome and the surroundings of the fitzroy river (Western Australia), to the Northwest of Queensland and Mount Isa.

Crosses the region from Kimberley, all the Arnhem Land and in the Gulf of Carpentaria.

The Varied Lorikeet It is also present in the Cape York Peninsula and in the South, Townsville.

Conservation:


minor concern


• Current IUCN Red List category: Least concern

• Population trend: Stable

The Varied Lorikeet they are usually fairly common. In the Darwin region, for example, It can be found in large quantities when the trees are in bloom. They are less common in the Cape York Peninsula and along the east coast.

The world population It is estimated in more than 100.000 specimens. The species is not globally threatened and does not receive any specific protection measures..

The cap black, wings green and underparts red with a band in the chest yellow, you are distinguished from other sympatric species of similar size as the Cardinal Lory and the Coconut Lorikeet.

Habitat:

Found in the canopy of the forest and secondary growth at all altitudes up to 1.000 m. In Guadalcanal it is more common in foothills than in lowlands and more common in low cloud forest. Other islands also occasionally observed around coconut plantations. Usually moves individually, in pairs or in groups of up to ten birds. Ecology generally little known although presumably typical of the genus.

endemic to the Solomon Islands Eastern on Savo, Guadalcanal, Malaita, Suavanao, Uki, San Cristóbal and Rennell. Quite common. World population 10.000 – 50, 000 specimens.

Conservation:


minor concern

• Current IUCN Red List category: Least concern.

• Population trend: Stable.

Least concern – in the news quite common in the natural and abundant across most of its range.

Many species of birds in the Solomon Islands are vulnerable simply because of their small natural ranges, and the felling of forests for agriculture is a constant threat.

"Yellow-bibbed Lory" in captivity:

Before the Decade of 1990, the Yellow-bibbed Lory (Lorius chlorocercus) it was almost unknown in the United States and poultry farming, even then, a handful of birds were imported from the Solomon Islands. In 1998, a captive breeding consortium, call Solomon Island Parrot Consortium (SIPC), It was formed and received permission from the Government of the Solomon Islands and permissions of USFWS to import 30 pairs of each of the six species of parrots that are found in the Solomon Islands.

These 60 Yellow-bibbed Lory they were the first species imported under this permit. From these original 60 birds, now there are enough birds that are starting to appear as pets from time to time. They were first bred in United States in 1989, in the aviaries of Seattle by Jan van Oosteen, who is considered the force behind the obtaining of this group of 30 couples.

Description 2 subspecies

  • Neopsittacus musschenbroekii musschmbrorkii

    (Schlegel, 1871) – The nominal.


  • Neopsittacus musschenbroekii mayor

    (Neumann, 1924) – Slightly larger than the nominal and paler in upperparts.

Habitat:

It inhabits in montane forests, edges of forests, partially cleared areas of secondary growth, mainly between 1.400 and 2.500 m, even if you are also registered at altitudes as low as 1.100 meters and as high as 3,000 m. It is also common in altered areas or in groves of Casuarina or eucalyptus in garden areas.

It seems that they have adapted well to the impacts of the man. But it is absent from the places where the forest has been removed completely over large areas.

Visible and noisy, they are in pairs, small flocks and in larger congregations of up to 50 birds in flowering trees. Over most of New Guinea, This species is replaced at higher altitudes by the smaller Orange-billed Lorikeet, commonly found in the company with the latter in the upper band of its altitudinal range (except Vogelkop).

Most frequently found in flowering trees, often in the company of other species such as the Papuan Lorikeet, also in the fructification of the Schefflera and feeding is sometimes lower levels even on the weeds at ground level.

Reproduction:
