Notes:

    Historically, classification of Pyrrhura picta caeruleiceps (Todd 1947) He has been subject to opinions found. While some authors recognize this taxon at the species level, others consider it a subspecies of Pyrrhura subandina (Todd 1947) or Pyrrhura picta (Meyer de Schauensee 1949), the latter being the most widely followed classification (Hilty & Brown 1986, pit et to the. 1997, Rodríguez & Hernandez-Camacho 2002). Based on analysis of morphological characters, Joseph (2000) and Joseph & Stockwell (2002) suggested that P. caeruleiceps should be considered as a distinct phylogenetic species and that the taxon Pyrrhura pantchenkoi (Phelps 1977), described from two specimens with worn plumage, is its synonym. Hilty (2003) He continued this treatment, but the classification committee Bird South America of the American Ornithologists’ Union recently it considered that existing information was insufficient to support this taxonomic change according to the biological species concept and kept provisionally caeruleiceps like a subspecies of painted parakeet (Remsen et al. 2010).

Habitat:

Variety of types habitats, including forests of eucalyptus, heaths, subalpine areas, pine plantations and occasionally in urban areas.
They are often seen flying in pairs or trios formed by a pair and their young., although outside the breeding season they can join in more numerous flocks.

Reproduction:

have a long breeding season, that varies throughout its range, although Tasmania in general it is from October to February. Both sexes construct the nest in holes of mature trees, high, generally eucalyptus. Fill the hole of wood chips. The same tree can be used for many years.

One or two eggs form a clutch. Only the female incubates the eggs, While the male supplies the food. Both parents help rear the chicks, Although usually only one chick survives. The chicks leave the nest about three months after hatching and remain in the company of their parents until the next breeding season.

Food:

Seeds native trees, terrestrial plants and pine cones. Some insects also part of their diet. Unlike other cockatoos, a significant proportion of the diet up wood borers worms. The bird put his ear against the surface of dead trees to hear the sound of worms. If a worm is detected, the bird will use their powerful beaks to pull pieces of the tree until you get to the meal, often leaving a pile of wood chips at the base of the tree. These scars on dead trees are a common sight in the forests of Tasmania.

Distribution:

Size of its range (breeding/resident ): 2.700.000 km2

It is up to the 2000 meters throughout Southeast Australia, from South Eyre Peninsula to the east-central Queensland.
Your number is declining in parts of its range due to habitat fragmentation and loss of large trees used for breeding.
In Tasmania is common and nomadic. They can be seen in many parts of the state and in the larger islands Bass Strait.

Description

31 to 32 cm.. length and a weight of just 300 g..
The Tanimbar corella (Cacatua goffiniana), like all family members Cacatuidae, is a species crestada, meaning it has a collection of feathers on its head which can go up or down at will; his body is covered with white feathers with some feathers or salmon pink between bill and eyes.
The deepest parts of the feathers of the crest and of the neck They are also the pink, but the color is hidden by the white color of the more superficial. The bottom of its wings and feathers of the tail They have a yellowish hue. The bill It is pale gray and eyes range from brown to black.
There is a clear sexual dimorphism and, often, merge with the blood cockatoo (Cacatua sanguinea) due to their similar appearance.

Habitat:

Riparian forests, thickets of acacias and eucalyptus with short grass or pasture with scattered groups of trees.

Reproduction:

The start is two to three eggs, generally deposited in the hollow of a tree. The incubation, that is shared by two birds, lasts a few 30 days. The chicks they leave the nest about ten weeks after hatching, and feeding by the parents continues for another few weeks.

Food:

Dried fruits, fruit, berries, flowers, estate, bulbs, egg yolks, sprouts, and insects

Distribution:

Size of the area of distribution (reproduction / resident): 9.100 km2

The Tanimbar Cockatoo It is a species of cockatoo endemic to the forests of Yamdena, Larat and Selaru, all the islands of the Tanimbar Islands of Indonesian. This species has been introduced in the Kai Islands, Indonesian, Puerto Rico and Mexico.

Conservation:

State of conservation ⓘ

Near-threatened Near Threatened ⓘ (UICN)ⓘ

• Current IUCN Red List category: Near-threatened.

• Population trend: Decreasing.

In the Decade of 1970, Japanese loggers ravaged the Islands. Many birds were stunned and disoriented and were captured for pet trade. Although many died from stress during transport, there is still some hope after this ecological disaster, since many cockatoos managed to reproduce in the programs of captive breeding. So, there are now more specimens in captivity than in their natural habitat.

This species has a range very small, but its population is severely fragmented or restricted to a few places. Despite suffering from the pressure of his capture, seems to have maintained a large population. But, the degradation of the habitat, trapping and continuous persecution is likely to be causing a moderate reduction of the population. Therefore it is classified as Near-threatened.

There is a conservation plan in endemic parrots Tanimbar Islands, Indonesian, financed by LORO PARQUE FUNDACIÓN

"Tanimbar corella" in captivity:

You can show a fearful beginning, but you quickly get used to their caregiver, turning into a very cockatoo sweet, playful, sometimes inquisitive and very active. Enjoy being observed, being the center of the world, like all cockatoos. His cry is not nice, but this little cockatoo is quickly forgiven everything as his antics and bad manners will surprise us and make us laugh.

Distribution:

Stephen distribution of Lori


The Stephen's Lorikeet is limited to Henderson island in the Pitcairn Islands, a small island uninhabited and surrounded of coral limestone cliffs, in the south-central zone of the Pacific Ocean.

The Pitcairn Islands, Henderson, Ducie and Oeno There are four volcanic islands in the southern pacific ocean. These islands are a British overseas territory (formerly a British colony), the last one left in the peaceful.

In 1987, the total population It was estimated between 720 and 1.820 specimens.


Conservation:


Vulnerable


• Current IUCN Red List category: Vulnerable

• Population trend: Stable

This species may be the only member of its genus whose habitat and population size have been little affected by adverse changes in its environment.. But, is qualified as vulnerable, Since it is only on a small island.

It seems to have adapted to the presence of the only introduced predator., the pacific rat (Rattus exulans). In August of 2011, a rat eradication operation was carried out in the Henderson island to eradicate R. exulans of the island. But, the accidental introduction of a more aggressive predator, as other species Rattus, could be devastating. Diseases such as malaria avian and smallpox are another potential threat. The introduction of exotic plant species could have serious consequences for native vegetation and, Therefore, for this species.

– Rat eradication could save seabirds on Henderson Island

Averted a potentially serious threat in 1983 When an American millionaire sought to make a home in the Henderson island. The request was rejected by the Government of the United Kingdom. Henderson is now a world heritage site.

"Stephen's Lorikeet" in captivity:

There are currently no known Stephen's Lorikeet in captivity. VULNERABLE.

Due to its endangered status, any specimen that can not be returned to their natural habitat (natural range) should preferably be placed in a well-managed breeding program to ensure the survival of the species.

Distribution:

Size of the area of distribution (reproduction / resident) 170,000 km2

Endemic to the montane forests of the center of West Papua New and Papua New Guinea, South of the cordillera central. The world population It is believed to be of less than 10.000 specimens, but it is probably stable. A small number in captivity.

Conservation:


Near-threatened


• Current IUCN Red List category: Near threatened

• Population trend: Decreasing

Its habitat is locally threatened by logging and clearing for agriculture. Reports of the species in Ok Tedi They show that the population of the Striated Lorikeet has fallen dramatically after the severe drought in 1997-1998 (P. Gregory in litt., 2010).

The species may be threatened by the presence of a large copper and gold open pit mine in Ok Tedi, but the impacts of this mine are currently unknown.
