Geographic Variation:

All birds puerto Barios at the East end of Guatemala show yellow concentrate lores and crown. While it described as near the subspecies belizensis, the birds of puerto Barios at the northwest end of Honduras They may represent another subspecies of oratrix (not yet formally described) provisionally named guatemalensis (see belizensis below). The hondurensis, described below, It was widely regarded as a subspecies of undescribed Yellow-crowned Parrot (Amazona ochrocephala), but now treated at the southern end as a cline (gradual change of phenotypic traits of the same species due to environmental influences and conditions) Yellow decreasing in head Group of birds yellowhead.

Description 3 subspecies:

Amazona oratrix belizensis

Monroe,BL Jr & Howell,TR, 1966) – Less yellow in the head that the nominal species, without yellow on the throat. Cheeks green, bare periophthalmic grayish-white and probably on average smaller. Fowl Guatemala, to the Northwest of Honduras, sometimes show yellow in head as a patch wide in front of the crown and around eyes, and perhaps they represent a species not yet described (known as guatemalensis); although some birds also show yellow feathers on nape (see geographic variation in Yellow-naped Parrot (Amazona auropalliata).

Amazona oratrix hondurensis

(Lousada & Howell,SNG, 1997) – Yellow on head limited to forecrown and in front of the crown, some birds show patch yellow in nape. One bill paler and more extensive yellow on the nape and the head subspecies caribea of the Yellow-naped Parrot. The patch Yellow crown It is also rounded or triangular, against a narrowband subspecies caribea. The subspecies panamensis of the Yellow-crowned Parrot has a bill darker and lacks the patch yellow in nape.

Amazona oratrix oratrix

(Ridgway, 1887) – Nominal.

Habitat:

The Yellow-headed Parrot frequent savannas, Bosques Tropicales deciduous (including clear), dense forests of thorns, marshy forests peaceful, flood forest evergreen, dense gallery forest, forests Pinus caribea (Belice) and cultivated land with trees, mainly in lowlands below 500 m.

Mainly observed in pairs or in large groups in communal roosts and feeding areas favorites. They snuggle into pine-covered ridges in Belice, moving to nearby humid forests to feed. Apparently, only flocks form in Tamaulipas.

Reproduction:

The Yellow-headed Parrot put their nests in cavities of trees 6-15 meters and in the holes of the palmeras Roystonea. Along the Pacific coast of Michoacán in Mexico, the Yellow-headed Parrot nests in trees Astronium graveolens, Brosimum allicastrum and at least five other species of trees (T. Monterrubio-Rico et al., In 2007)

In Belice, preferred pines nest. Breeding season in the months of February to May in the south, to June in the north (for example in Tamaulipas). Clutch, usually 2-3 eggs, they are incubated between 27 and 28 days. The young leave the nest at eight weeks.. On average, only 1.2 hatchlings reach adulthood in each clutch.

Food:

Food in diet of the Yellow-headed Parrot include outbreaks, leaves news, fruits of Palma, seeds of Acacia, fruits of Macuna, Ficus, Zuelania guidonia, Bumelia laetivirens, Solanum and Pithecellobium flexicaule.

They can cause damage to crops, including corn, mango and green bananas.

Distribution and status:

Size of its range (breeding/resident ): 1.020.000 km2

The Yellow-headed Parrot It is confined to Central America in Mexico, Belice, the east end Guatemala and the Northwest corner of Honduras. They are distributed by the slope of peaceful of Mexico in Colima, Michoacán, Warrior, Oaxaca (two disjunct populations on the slopes of peaceful and of the Gulf on Isthmus region) and Chiapas. also observed in the shed Gulf from the central and southern Tamaulipas, to the East of San Luis Potosi, Puebla, Veracruz, Tabasco and Campeche, as well as in Belice and around puerto Barios at the East end of Guatemala to the northwest corner of Honduras in the Sula Valley.

Distribution in the east of its range poorly documented, with dubious appearances Campeche and in the region of Petén in the North of Guatemala, confirmed only 1993.

Reports Yellow-headed Parrot outside the normal range Mexico (for example, City of Mexico) probably involving leaks. Wild populations Miami (Florida) and Puerto Rico.

local residents, and rare sparsely distributed along most of its distribution (perhaps locally common in parts of Belice) with diminished by the loss of habitat populations and their capture for live bird markets.

The population of Sula Valley survives as remainder. marketed widely both within and outside the species range, being one of the most searched Neotropical parrots pet (reputedly one of the best talkers). The most drastic falls have probably been in the northeast of Mexico, where habitat loss has been more rapid and severe. The wild population is probably less than 7.000 individuals (1994).

Poaching of nests

our man 2003 , Eisermann in a bit., 2007

Threats

• The habitat loss It has been extensive, with the 80% lowlands of Tamaulipas cleared for agriculture and pasture, and growing settlements along the Autopista del Oeste in Belice (Somerville 1997).

• In Belice, where much of the suitable habitat is outside the sistema national protected area, the regions occupied by species remain under heavy development pressure (B. Miller in a little ., 2007).

• Las palm savannas at the only known breeding site in Guatemala They are used for no intensive cattle grazing (our man 2003), who is still a threat here (Fundary et al ., 2006).

• Many thousands of Individuals of this species are exported illegally from Mexico and some from Belice each year, and it is popular in domestic markets (Low 1995b, Miller and Miller 1997, Somerville 1997).

• The illegal internal traffic is intense in Mexico and may represent the 38% of recent species loss distributive (T. Monterrubio-Rico et al., In 2007).

• In the Mexican states of Michoacán, Warrior and Oaxaca, They are mainly pups those taken to the pet trade (T. Monterrubio-Rico et al., In 2007).

• In Guatemala, It is reported that Local military authorities are complicit in the illegal trade of this species, and poachers frequent nest nesting site of the species (our man 2003, Eisermann in some). It also, has reported its hunting for food from local fishermen in Guatemala (our man 2003, Eisermann in some ., 2007).

• In Belice, It is hunted and persecuted by damage to crops (SNG Howell in some 1998) and it remains a victim of the illegal pet trade, whose capture involves logging nesting (B. Miller in a little ., 2007).

• It is estimated that its extension around the coast of Michoacán It has decreased 1.507 km2 , of which 576 km2 can not be attributed to habitat loss and, therefore, They may be due to the poaching for trade (Monterrubio-Rico et al., 2007).

Conservation Actions Underway

• CITES Appendix I.

• In Mexico It is distributed in nine protected areas (T. Monterrubio-Rico et al., In 2007).

• The nominal subspecies inhabits Biosphere Reserves of Heaven, Los Tuxtlas, Swamps Centla and Terms Lagoon.

• The species Tres Marias Parrot (Amazona tresmariae), considered by some authors as a subspecies of Amazona [oratrix gold tresmariae], It is protected in Islas Marías Biosphere Reserve.

• The nominal subspecies It is in the Reserva Chamela-Cuixmala, in the Lagunas de Chacahua, in the Huatulco National Park, and in the Biosphere Reserve Zicuirán-Infiernillo in Michoacán (T. Monterrubio-Rico et al., 2007), as well as in seven protected areas in Belice (EC Enkerlin-Hoeflich in some 1994, Miller and Miller 1997, Snyder et to the., 2000).

• The only one breeding population known in Guatemala It was declared Wildlife Refuge in 2005, but effective protection is difficult due to organized crime in the area (Eisermann in some ., 2007).

• There are several awareness campaigns nationally in Mexico (Roberson y Carratello, 1997).

• It is bred in captivity, but the reintroduction of captive bred birds is unfeasible (Baja 1995b).

Conservation Actions Proposed

• Carry out surveys for an updated estimate of population size.

• Monitor rates of habitat loss and degradation.

• Monitor hunting levels, catch and trade.

• Apply the trade restrictions.

• To protect effectively as key sites Las Colorados Ranch, Soto La Marina / Fishing, Tamaulipas, orange river, focused on Las Abritas (San Luis Potosi) and Punta de Manabique.

• Survey to identify other important sites.

• Investigate habitat use and local movements.

• Continue zooming awareness campaigns.

• Develop structured captive breeding programs and investigate the possibility of future release.

The bill is red-orange. The irises they are red, and legs grey.

The youth they are more muted than adults. Its head is slightly greenish with streaks pale. The bill is brown. The irises They are brown. The species is considered monotype.

Sound of the Olive headed Lorikeet.

Habitat:

They frequent humid subtropical forests., secondary forests and wooded meadows. Adapt quite well to cultivated land and the gardens in cities.

In Timor, they are relatively abundant between 1.000 and 2.300 meters above sea level, apparently, substitute to the Coconut Lorikeet in these heights. Also they can be observed at sea level in the island of Timor. In the rest of the Islands it frequents lowland areas.

The Olive headed Lorikeet they live in small groups. They are especially visible when they are in flight because they emit continuously shouts. On the other hand, when feeding or resting in trees, they are very difficult to observe because of their green plumage mixed with the color of the foliage.

They are birds territorial, capable of showing great aggressiveness if the limits of their area of influence are violated.

Usually disperse in search of their food, forming large groups when resources are abundant.

Outside the breeding season they form large roaming flocks of a hundred or more individuals.. Move in flying fast and slightly wavy.

In Timor, during the season, dry, These birds seem to descend below 1.000 meters and are scattered in coastal areas.

Reproduction:

The anidacio seasonn would take place perhaps between September and October, but this information needs to be confirmed.

In captivity, the Olive headed Lorikeet put 3 white eggs that parents are in charge of incubate for a few 23 days. As in the majority of the Lori, the nesting cycle is particularly long.

Food:

Feed primarily of nectar and fruit. They forage in trees in flower and shrubs.

Distribution:

Size of the area of distribution (reproduction / resident): 38.100 km2

Timor and Lesser Sunda Islands, from the East of Lembata until Nila and Babar.

Conservation:

• Current IUCN Red List category: Least concern

• Population trend: Stable

The population size This species has not been quantified. Suspected that the population is stable in the absence of evidence of any reduction or substantial threats.

Like most brightly plumaged parrots, the Olive headed Lorikeet It victim of trade bird cage or Aviary.

Sound of the Black-capped Lory.

Habitat:

The Black-capped Lory he prefers the primary forests and edges of these, They also reported in secondary forests well grown, in some partially cleared areas and swamp forest. It is not known to occur in the monsoon forest, planted forests or plantations of coconut trees. The Black-capped Lory is mainly distributed in the lowlands up to 1.000 m, but there have been examples to 1.750 m.

They are mainly found in pairs and usually smaller than other groups parrots sympatric, but it may happen that they get together in groups of ten or more to feed in trees in flower.

Reproduction:

Little is known of its breeding ecology in the wild., Although there is a history of a couple digging a pit to make the nest in a dead tree. Apparently the nesting occurs from the month of may until October.

In captivity, the setting is two eggs with 26 incubation days; emancipation occurs between 57 and 70 days after hatching.

Food:

The diet includes pollen, nectar, flowers, fruits and insects. The birds prefer to feed in the canopy or half-height where they remain quiet and discrete. Unlike in the Coconut Lorikeet and the Dusky lory, It reached generally similar maximum altitudes, This species has been able to adapt to secondary habitats in high levels in the East of New Guinea.

Distribution:

Widely distributed from the West of Irian Java (Indonesian), including Waigeo, Batanta, Salawati and Misool in the Group of islands west of papua and Yapen, My Num. They are also found in the Biak island on bahía de Geelvink, (It is from Papua New Guinea).

It is quite common in the lowlands and foothills.. Top world population to the 100.000 individuals.

Subspecies distribution:

Lorius lory lory: It is the nominal.
Lorius lory erythrothorax: The South coast of New Guinea east of the peninsula Bird’s Head, and to the southeast of the North Coast.
Lorius lory SOMU: Mountain districts in the South of the center of New Guinea.
Lorius lory salvadorii: Northwest Coast of Papua New Guinea.
Lorius lory viridicrissalis: Northeast coast of Western New Guinea.
Lorius lory jobiensis: Islands Yapen and My Num.
Lorius lory cyanuchen: Biak Island.

Conservation:

• Current IUCN Red List category: Least concern

• Population trend: Stable

The world's population has not been quantified, but the species has been observed that it is, usually, common, but not abundant throughout its area of distribution.

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

"Black-capped Lory" in captivity:

It has attractive voice and can learn to imitate. Playful and curious; It can be noisy at times.

Common up to the decade of 1960 When exports began to cease.

Sound of the Duchess Lorikeet.

Habitat:

It inhabits in the forests and wooded areas, at the edges of forests and tall secondary growth forests, mostly mountains and hills, Although you can also see in coconut plantations and coastal villages; above all between 100 and 1.350 meters above sea level.

Often feeds in noisy groups of 10 to 40 birds in the trees in flower and epiphytes with others Loris (including (Cardinal Lory). They feed acrobatically, mainly in the forest canopy.

Reproduction:

Nesting and breeding habits unknown, although a male was seen in a breeding attitude during the month of January.

Food:

Apart from pollen and nectar, observed feeding on fruits of Schefflera.

Distribution:

The Duchess Lorikeet is endemic of the Solomon Islands including Bougainville (Papua New Guinea), Gizo, Kolombangara, Guadalcanal, Malaita and San Gristobal. Brian Coates indicates that this species often seen in the city of Kieta, Bougainville.

Conservation:

• Current IUCN Red List category: Near threatened.

• Population trend: Decreasing.

Much of the lowland forests, within the area of distribution of the Duchess Lorikeet, He has been or is scheduled to be connected, but this species is probably safe in the Highlands.

There is an export license fee for 60 birds, the funds will be used to finance conservation programs (JR van Oosten in litt. 1999); However, this species could be threatened by any large-scale trade (T. Leary in litt. 2000). In 2002, 200 birds were imported to Singapore with permissions CITES (UNEP-WCMC CITES Trade Database, January 2005).

The young birds they are even duller, the crown reddish-tinged, the patch blue of the throat absent, the rump with some green feathers, the bill paler, the iris and the legs brown; the face nude in the fledglings.

Sound of the Ceylon Hanging-Parrot.

Habitat:

Seen in a range of habitats, from sea level to 1.600 m, reaching the highest areas according to seasonal conditions. The species is found in forests of coconut trees, Evergreen and deciduous forests, semicultivadas areas, open woodland and around the dwellings.

birds are not shy, and is usually found in pairs or family groups, although outside the breeding season larger flocks congregate high up in flowering trees. They are active and acrobatic feeding.

Reproduction:

Observations, they have registered the male approaching his partner upright, with the high peak, swollen throat, extended tail and rump feathers erect, while emitting a screeching chirp. Wiggles head in courtship period have also been observed.

The breeding begins in January and although the main nesting period is between March and May, a second litter is, sometimes, until September. The nest is located in a hollow branch filled with fragments of vegetation that the female carefully cuts with her beak and carries to the nesting sites tucked between her rump feathers.. Only two to four white eggs she incubates, sitting firmly, screeching and creating a 'thumping' sound’ Yes is the annoying. The young Chick has the face exposed, presumably to avoid getting dirty by liquid food.

Food:

Feed on fruits such as Ficus figs and guava (Psidium guajava); berries; flowers, including Erythrina, Salmalia and eucalyptus; seeds, including Casuarina. Poisonings have been reported after drinking Palm wine collected pots attached to the trunks of the trees.

Distribution:

Endemic to Sri Lanka, where most records come from the South, Although there have been North of Trincomalee and should be observed in suitable habitats throughout the country. Records include proximities of Colombo, around Kandy, Yala and National parks Gal Oya, the district Welimada, and to the South of Galle and Hambantota, on the coast.

Conservation:

• Current IUCN Red List category: Least concern

• Population trend: Stable

The size of the world's population has not been quantified, Although it is estimated at 10.000 specimens. The species is qualified as widespread and abundant in the South-West and almost absent in the North of its distribution area (pit et to the. 1997).

The population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence of any reduction or substantial threats, However, the bird trade is judged as a potential threat.

Sound of the Kea.

Habitat of "Kea":

The Kea (Nestor notabilis) they live at an altitude between 600-2400 m.

They are commonly found near tourist attractions. But, its main habitat is in the tree line between 950 and 1.400 m.

They mark a certain preference for deep canyons whose walls are covered in forests of beeches (Nothofagus cliffortioides). At higher altitudes, that is it can be observed in subalpine Shrublands. The species It is considered as monotype.

It is a bird family and curious. He likes to live close to the houses and feel the human presence. His mischievous behavior and his sharp intelligence earned him the title of «clown of the mountains«.

It's a joy for tourists, that compensates for, in part, the wrong bad reputation that had in the past.

During the period of nesting, the pair is the basic social unit, but for the rest of the year, It is a species very gregarious they live in family groups, feeding in flocks of 30-40 birds, often in landfill sites.

The males are polygamous, each can have a harem of some 4 females. Dominant males are not necessarily the oldest.

Establishing a hierarchy is tricky. Adults often dominate subadults but it can also happen that a young dominates an adult.

The Kea established territories that are resizable. These can be overlaid on the periphery, but the nucleus or the central part situated, near the nest, It has an inviolable space that is defended with aggression.

During the nesting season, breeding birds are sedentary, and never will they move away to more than one kilometre from the nest. On the other hand, the non-breeding birds are very mobile, and some have been seen more of 60 km of where they were ringed.

Reproduction of "Kea":

The strong conjugal bonds and fidelity to the nesting site are the two basic rules of the Kea, that is manifested by the fact that the nest often takes several years to be completed. But, unpaired males can visit the nests and try to mesh with females.

The breeding season extends July-January. The female lays 2 to 4 white eggs in a burrow or cavity covered with some sticks, leaves and MOSS. The site is often found at the base of a cornice, but they also use stone blocks placed above the tree line.

The eggs are deposited a few days apart and only the female incubates for a period that varies between 21 and 28 days. In the meantime, the male stands guard nearby and is responsible for feeding his partner. Initially, bring enough food to also supply the calf, but after a few weeks, the female leaves the nest, in order to help you in your task.

The chicks, covered with a white marker, they leave the nest after 13 to 14 weeks. They continue to be fed by the parents during 1 month to 6 weeks. In January and February, immediately after the nesting season, the Kea they tend to congregate in large flocks which can contain 50 or more individuals.

Food of "Kea":

During the summer, the Kea they can be active even during the night. In winter they are reduced to more modest altitudes below the elevation of snow. Some groups choose to stay in the mountains near ski resorts.

The Kea feed of carrion, in particular sheep. Contrary to its reputation, they never attack healthy sheep. have a diet mainly vegetarian and they fed both in trees and on the ground. Your menu includes leaves, outbreaks, estate, seeds, berries, flowers, nectar and insects. In summer they also eat beetles, worms, lobsters and land snails.

The dominant males they are known to find its food in campsites and parking areas.

Distribution:

Size of the area of distribution (reproduction / resident): 63.300 km2

endemic to the South Island of New Zealand (Although vagrants have been recorded in the North Island, for example, in the Tararua mountains), finding, mainly, between 950 m and 1.400 m above sea level in forests and subalpine scrub.

Its distribution extends from the South West of Southland (for example Wilmot Pass), to the North by the Fiordland National Park (for example, about Te Anau, Homer Tunnel), Westland district and The Southern Alps (for example, Westland National Park, Fox and glaciers Franz Josef, Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park), Arthur Pass National Park and Graigieburn Forest Park. Nelson Lakes National Park and Big Bush State Forest, the Seaward Kaikoura Range (for example, the Mount Manakau), the region of Marlborough, the Richmond range, finally reaching the Highlands around Mount Cobb, at its Northwest end.

Conservation:

• Current Red List of UICN: Vulnerable

• Population trend: Decreasing

The populations of the Kea they appear as stable and they can range between 1000 and 5000 specimens.

The concentration of birds around tourist spots leaves a false impression, giving the impression of being a fairly ordinary parakeet.

Due to the false reputation he had for attacking sheep, This bird was hunted by farmers and thousands of birds were exterminated between 1860 and 1970.

Since 1988, the Kea is fully protected, What does not prevent, sometimes, their capture and sale as a pet.

The "Kea" parrot in captivity:

Very rare in captivity.

As indicated sources, a captive male for Kea was still alive after 47 years in the Antwerp Zoo. It showed signs of old age. Other Kea in the bristol zoo, of at least, 43 years of age showed no signs of aging.

In captivity, These birds can be raised from the 4 years of age
