Yellow-faced Parrot in captivity:

Ave Rare in the world of poultry farming.

active, curious and playful. Aggressive with other parrots. They can become very noisy. Prone to obesity

Its reproduction rarely been achieved in captivity. The basic requirement would be to isolate a compatible pair during the breeding season due to increased aggression towards other birds during this period.; also require spacious accommodations and a nest box of 25 x 25 x 60 cm. . with input from 8 cm in diameter.

They tend to be aggressive toward their caregivers. The breeding season begins in early May. The implementation is of 2 to 4 eggs, which are incubated during 26 days. The young leave the nest when they are near the 8 weeks of age.

    Description

    30 cm.. height and an approximate weight of 120 gr.

    The Black-winged Lory (Eos cyanogenia) has a plumage predominantly red.

    Adults have a blue patch surrounding the eyes, cover the tops of the ear and reaches the back of the neck.

    Feathers covering the shoulder blade (scapular), small feathers that cover the outside (coverts) and bend of wing are black. The primary and high school they have a black bordered.

    The the thighs and flanks they are sprinkled with black. The bottom of the wings shows a wide band Red. The feathers of the tail are black contrasted with red feathers.

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

    The youth they are more muted than adults. They have blue-black ends in feathers of the head, neck and underparts. The the wing covers are black, with a green light opaque. The bill is of color brown orange, irises brown.

    The Black-winged Lory It can be confused with almost all parrots of the genus Eos, but it is the only one of this category that has the covered wing in black color.

    Habitat:

    The Black-winged Lory they are quite common and widespread in coastal areas, coconut plantations, the forested areas in the process of regeneration, in some large trees scattered in bushes Moors and local gardens.

    In some small islands such as Supiori, they are also present in large numbers in inland forests.

    Residing in altitudes ranging from sea level to the 460 m.

    They live in pairs or in small family groups. They are also often found in flocks of forty individuals or more.

    Son noisy birds and easily observable. At the local level are very popular. In the reflection of both, the natives capture them frequently as pet birds.

    The Black-winged Lory they have a fly quick and direct. Often you can hear the hum of their wings when they fly over the villages. They are even more recognizable when they often fly low, well below the tops of the trees.

    Reproduction:

    Little is known of their reproductive ecology., but it was observed the presence of a possible nesting site in a hole in a tall tree in the forest by a couple during the observations in 1982.

    The incubation in harsh captivity around 26 days, and as in all loris, the nesting cycle is particularly long and hard between 75 and 89 days.

    Food:

    They have a regime that differs little from other parrots of the genus Eos. Feed in the trees in flower of nectar of Brugierto and pollen. Your menu will probably be complemented by fruit, berries of the mistletoe and sometimes insects.

    Distribution:

    Distribution Lori Alinegro


    Being endemic to the islands of the Cenderawasih Bay in the part Indonesia of New Guinea.

    They live on most islands (Numfor, Biak, Manim, Pulau Num) but are absent from Yapen, the main island, where are replaced by the Dusky lory (Pseudeos fuscata).



    Conservation:


    Vulnerable

    – Current IUCN Red List category: Vulnerable

    – The population trend: Decreasing

    The population is estimated at 2,500 to 9,999 mature individuals.

    Logging and subsistence agriculture have driven the loss of forests within their range and the hunting pressure remains a threat. Consequently, the species is suspected to be declining at a moderate pace.

    Relatively large numbers of birds have been trapped for the national and international trade.

    Since December of 1989, the import of the Black-winged Lory It is strictly prohibited in the European Community.

    Conservation Actions Proposed:

    – Conduct surveys on all the Geelvink Islands to clarify its distribution and current population status.
    – Investigation of their ecology and movements to facilitate conservation planning.
    – Investigate the species trade and design and implement appropriate controls.
    – Estimating the rate of loss of forests within its range.
    – Check the register in Supiori and establish a captive breeding program to support future reintroduction and supplementation efforts.

    "Black-winged Lory" in captivity:

    This species is observed commonly as a pet in Biak (island located in the bahía Paradise, off the north coast of Papua).

    Due to its status in danger of extinction, 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.

    • Psitteuteles iris wetterensis

      Larger, the crown It is red and mixed with Violet Blue variable extension. The cheeks they are dark green. The chest bright yellow contrast with the Panza green.

    Note:

    It has placed at times as subspecies to the Neopsittacus. The validity of the subspecies Psitteuteles iris rubripileum, is questionable, and it was claimed that the differences with the nominal species It may be due to age or individual variation.

    Habitat:

    Found up to a height of 1.500 meters above the sea level.

    The Iris Lorikeet They inhabit monsoon forests, plantations and agricultural land with flowering trees.
    Although they are apparently more common in the higher elevations, its local abundance is based on the availability of trees with flowers for food, as is the case with most Lori.
    The flight of the Iris Lorikeet fast and slightly wavy.

    Reproduction:

    Little is known about the breeding ecology of this species in its natural environment.. A record of a captive calf states that the laying is of two eggs, with a period of incubation of 23 days and emancipation some nine weeks more afternoon.

    Food:

    Feeds of nectar of the flowers Sesbania sp.

    Distribution:

    Size of the area of distribution (reproduction / resident): 31.300 km2

    Conservation:


    Near-threatened


    • Current IUCN Red List category: Near threatened

    • Population trend: Decreasing

    There are no data on population trend; But, the species is suspected to be in decline due to the capture and the degradation of the habitat.

    Previously considered common, but not found in the Island of Wetar during a search in 1990, found only in two places during a study of nine weeks in the jungle in Timor West in 1993. Considered main many that the Olive headed Lorikeet and the Coconut Lorikeet in East Timor. World population around 10.000 specimens. VULNERABLE.

    The bill It is orange with dark base to lower jaw; Orange the irises; legs dark gray.

    The immature They have yellow band chest and marks on the sides and virtually absent bill is brown.

    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.

    Reproduction:

    Little is known of its reproduction in the wild.

    In captive, the setting is two eggs and incubation lasts and 25 days. The young remain in the nest during 8 to 10 weeks.

    Food:

    Its diet pollen compose, nectar, flowers and seeds.

    Distribution:

    Size of its range (reproduction / resident): 78.200 km2

    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:

    Observed to be moving like a rodent along branches. The laying It is two eggs in a hole in the trunk of a tree. Period unknown but an immature nesting was observed in the Province of West Papua in late August and a fledgling in the same area in the middle of November.

    Food:

    Feeds of pollen, nectar, small fruits and berries. It is also thought that feed on seeds as part regular your diet, while the Orange-billed Lorikeet is limited to nectar only. As other parrots can eat insects and their larvae, deliberately or accidentally.

    Distribution:

    Size of its range (reproduction / resident): 587.000 km2

    New Guinea in Irian Java (Indonesian) and Papua New Guineto. Is distributed from East of Vogelkop up to the Huon Peninsula and scattered areas in the Southeast. In Vogelkop, Despite the absence of the Orange-billed Lorikeet, the population of the Yellow-billed Lorikeet is relatively low. A small amount in captivity.

    Distribution 2 subspecies

    • Neopsittacus musschenbroekii mayor

      (Neumann, 1924) – Live from the East of the region of Sepik to the Huon Peninsula and areas southeast.

    Conservation:


    minor concern


    • Current IUCN Red List category: Least concern.

    • Population trend: Growing.

    The world population It has not been quantified, Although it is probably superior to the 300.000 specimens.

    The species according to information is usually common.

    The population is suspected can be increased. As the degradation of the habitat is permanent, new suitable habitat areas are being created.

    • Micropsitta pusio stresemanni

      (ECTION Hartert, 1926) – As the subspecies Micropsitta pusio harterti, but slightly larger and more yellow below.

    Habitat:

    They are found in lowland forests, wooded hills, gallery forest and secondary vegetation, from sea level to the 500 m. It is also locally in the Savannah and areas of coconut trees (Cocoa nuts).

    The species is common and trusting, but can be hard to find due to its small size. Birds can also sometimes be glimpsed by flying in small groups above the canopy. They tend to fraternize in pairs or in groups of up to 30 birds.

    They frequently stop while they feed on and turn your head to the right, possibly to find predators.

    Reproduction:

    Tanysiptera-galatea
    Common Long-tailed Kingfisher (Tanysiptera galatea)

    Nestbox, they dig in tree cavities active termite mounds, for example the (Microcerotermes biroi). A nest was also found in a terrestrial termite, the entry just a meter from the ground. There is a flange on each side of the entry hole and this differentiates their holes of other species that make their nests in termite mounds, such as the Common Long-tailed Kingfisher (Tanysiptera galatea).

    Until three white eggs are the implementation. The nesting season has been recorded throughout the year. Adults sleep on community and up to eight birds have been recorded from a cavity.

    Food:

    It moves rapidly along lianas and trunks or branches of trees (in inverted position) using its long claws to grip and digging lichens and fungi in the barks. Also sometimes feed on seeds, fruits and insects (that it can be accidentally ingested).

    Distribution:

    Lowlands of North of New Guinea from the West coast of the bahía Paradise, Irian Java, at the Southeast end of Papua New Guinea; absent from the Highlands of the Huon Peninsula and Owen Stanley Ranges above each 500 m, but observed in some of the Northern Islands of New Guinea, including Kairiru, the Schouten Islands, Manam, Karkar and Batangas. The species is found in the lowlands of the West to the coastal region of South on the Purari River. Are also in the Bismarck Archipelago, including Umboi, Tolokiwa, Sakai, the Witu Islands, Lolobau, New Britain, Uatom and Duke of York. Also observed in the d'Entrecasteaux archipelago in Fergusson and in the Louisiade archipelago in Misima Island and Tagula.
