The first breeding season begins in January and lasts until April; and if conditions are right, breeding activities can once again be observed from July to September.

Nest trunks of dead trees, favor of the narrow hollow long with small entrance holes. Noticed it a female carrying nesting material, that can include pieces of bark, leaves and feathers for lining of the nest. Sunset You can consist of 2 to 4 white eggs. Single the female incubates the eggs during 20 days, While the male feeds it. Each egg measures of ~ 15 mm to 18,7 mm.

Food:

Its diet natural It consists mainly of red fruits – particularly wild figs, guava and berries, as well as flower buds and flowers. They also feed on nectar and seeds.

minor concern


โ€ข Current IUCN Red List category: Least concern

โ€ข Population trend: Stable

The size of the world population It has not been quantified, but the species is described as common in its range (pit et to the. 1997).

The population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence of any reduction or substantial threats.

A possible threat to its existence are the capture for the bird trade and habitat loss.

Distribution:

Limited to the Philippines (less the Sulu archipelago), where are widespread and resident except in Palawan. Its abundance varies according to the subspecies..

Conservation:


minor concern


– Current IUCN Red List category: Least concern

– The population trend: Decreasing

The world population is considered to be above the 20,000 exemplary but decreasing due to loss of habitat. The subspecies Mindoro is considered as threatened, and both subspecies of Cebu as Siquijor, are nearly extinct the loss of habitat (as these birds are commonly caged and traded between islands, contemporary records of birds from Siquijor they require confirmation to determine whether they refer to the breeds).

The combined population of Mindoro, Sibuyan, Blacks, Surigao del Sur, Tables, Romblon, Masbate, Ticao, Cuimaras and Basilan (subspecies L. p. mindorensis, L. p. bournsi, L. p. Regulus and L. p. dohertyi) probably add in total not more than 5.000 birds.

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.

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:


minor concern


โ€ข Current IUCN Red List category: Least concern

โ€ข 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.
