Origin: Philippines

Character: Active

Life expectancy: ---

Height: 20 cm..

Content

Description

20 cm.. length and a weight between 48 and 62 gr.

The plumage of the Mindanao Lorikeet (Trichoglossus johnstoniae) is usually Green. The facial area It is red with a tendency to pink. The band that goes from the eye until the part back from the neck it is dark purple.

The underparts are yellow, scalloped with green resembling scales. They have the Underwing coverts and subcaudales yellowish green. The band less of them wings is yellow. Its bill is reddish orange, the legs grayscale and the eye ring dark gray. The eyes orange-red.

The birds immatures have less red on the face. Instead of the band dark purple in adults, young birds have an off color lilac and a Brown stain behind the eye. The rings of the eyes are of color grey white. The eyes They are brown.

There are no significant differences between males and females.

Sound of the Mindanao Lorikeet.

Habitat:

Found of 1.000 to 2.500 m in the Mount Apo and 1.000 1,700 m in the Mount Malindang.

The Mindanao Lorikeet they prefer mossy forests, but also you can see them along the edge of the forest and in degraded areas.

Usually noisy during the flight, but when they feed on, remain calm. They migrate daily between different altitudes in the morning looking for food in the Highlands and in the evening return to their resting places in the lower areas.

They move higher during the day, in flocks of up to 50 birds, to feed on trees with flowers and shrubs. At sunset, they return to the lower slopes to rest.

Reproduction:

Little is known about the ecology of reproduction.. Probably it breeding is performed between months of March and may.

Captive breeding records indicate that the laying tends to be of two eggs, the incubation of some three weeks and that the young leave the nest between three weeks and a month more afternoon.

Food:

With feeds nectar, flowers, fruits, pollen and insects.

Distribution:

Size of the area of distribution (reproduction / resident): 8.700 km2

Endemic to the mountains of Mindanao (Philippines)

Conservation:

• Current IUCN Red List category: Near threatened

• Population trend: Decreasing

Its habitat favorite is relatively unlikely that is affected by human activities in the medium term, but logging and capture should remain concerns.

The world population apparently not been quantified formally, but the species is described as very rare and there are those who think that there are less than 10.000 individuals.

"Mindanao Lorikeet" in captivity:

Very rare in captivity.

Due to its decreasing trend in terms of its population, 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.

Content

Description

28 cm.. length and an approximate weight of 200 g..

The Yellow-bibbed Lory (Lorius chlorocercus) is the only member of the genus Lorius It found in the Solomon Islands Orientales. In flight it has a robust construction, with a distinctive tail short.

It has a hood black running from the top of the bill up to the nape; the rest of the head is bright red with a prominent patch black, Crescent-shaped, on one side of neck. The upperparts They are red; center of the mantle, dark red. The wings green with yellow light bronze glow, in particular coverts and tertiary.

internals flight feather and greater coverts, black; bend of wing with a white spot and sometimes showing blue below wing-coverts; the coverts are blue, black tip, with a reddish pink broadband in the Central, on the undersides of the primaries. axillary purple blue.

The underparts They are red with a prominent yellow necklace; the thighs blue. Top, of the tail, red with green tips; lower tail, red with yellow opaque tip.

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.

Sound of the Yellow-bibbed Lory.

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:

• 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

The legs are grey.

The irises is red-orange.

The immature has the back and blankets of Red Wings clear. Its bill It is pale orange with small black marks. Its orbital skin is whitish grey. Their irises are pale yellow.

Sound of the Cardinal Lory.

Habitat:

It is a kind forest. It is very widespread and is locally abundant in primary and secondary forests. It is also in the forests in regeneration in coconut plantations and mangroves where there are trees in flower.

Can rise to 1.200 m above sea level, Although in the Bougainville Island (Papua New Guinea), does not exceed of the 800 m.

It is a bird loud that does not happen easily unnoticed.

It is usually in small flocks of up to 20 birds flying high above the canopy. Also gets into branches higher trees in flower which is notable for its continuous shrieks and its beautiful bright colors.

It is often found in the company of the Coconut Lorikeet (Trichoglossus haematodus) and they particularly appreciate red flowers.

This bird moves constantly in the day, flying from one island to another.

Reproduction:

The breeding season probably starts in June. There are reports of links in August and stops extending to September.

To date, We have found a nest in a high tree cavity, at low altitude above the ground. This is the only information we have about the natural environment.

In captivity, the Cardinal Lory puts two white eggs. Both parents incubate and care for young people.
The incubation period is 24 days.

When out of the shell, chicks weigh in 6 to 7 g.. They are covered with a white quilt, long and dense.

As with all the Loris type Chalcopsitta y Pseudeos the nest is especially long and hard between 65 and 80 days.

Food:

The Cardinal Lory is exclusively vegetarian. Feeds in the canopy and fruit Palms, small berries, flowers, outbreaks, also pollen and nectar.

This Parrot seems to mark a clear preference for the flowers and red fruits.

Distribution:

The Cardinal Lory It is endemic to the Islands to the East of New Guinea. Its area of distribution covers New Hanover and the islands surrounding (Tabar, Lihir, Thong, FeNi and Nissan). Extends to Buka and Bougainville. In the Solomon Islands occupies a territory that extends to the South of San Cristóbal.

Conservation:

– Current IUCN Red List category: Least concern

– The population trend: Stable

The world population It has not been quantified, but the species is described as abundant (pit et to the. 1997). Sources estimate that the total population in nature exceeds the 100 thousand copies.
The population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence of any reduction or substantial threats.

But, is classified by the UICN as a species "in restricted area", which means that it has a territory whose surface is less to 50 000 km, therefore, potential danger.

"Cardinal Lory" in captivity:

Very rare.

In 1989, the Solomon Island allowed that a few Cardinal Lory were exported to the EE.UU.. But, because of the Law on the conservation of wild birds in 1992 The export of the Lori of Solomon Islands to the United States. UU. they banned except that is for authorized reproduction.

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:

The reproduction It takes place throughout the year, However, It is most active between April and August.

install nest in the cavity of a trunk or branch, usually near a water source. The bottom of the hole is lined with wood chips or leaves that have been previously "chewed".

The spawning is between 2 and 5 white eggs that are incubated by the female alone for about 22 days. The young are fed by both parents, and leave the nest after 6 weeks.

Food:

Their diet consists of pollen, fruits, seed and probably some insects. These birds feed on the Ceiba or Kapok, wood and Red eucalyptus trees of Melaleuca.

Distribution:

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.

Sound of the Chattering Lory

[audio:HTTPS://www.mascotarios.org/wp-content/themes/generatepress_child/sonidos/Lori Garrulo.mp3]

Habitat:

Though White and Bruce they say the species is common in coastal lowlands with coconut palms, recent observations seem to point to forested areas of high land as their main habitat. It is unclear if the capture is responsible for the apparent absence of their previously preferred habitat. Seasonal movements or nomadic behavior could also be factors for this absence from the coastal lowlands.. The Chattering Lory they occur more often in mature primary and secondary forests, far from human settlements from the lowlands up to 1.300 m.

They are usually in pairs, and are noisy and visible in flight but, like many other parrots, can become difficult to spot when feeding quietly in the forest canopy.

Reproduction:

Little is known about the reproduction of the species in the wild. A couple was seen building a nest in June, other records include the observation of a calf feeding during October and November, and a couple occupying a nest high in a dead tree, also during October.

In captivity, the laying is of two eggs and the abandonment of the nest of the young at 76 days.

Food:

The primary food of the Chattering Lory It is believed to be the nectar and pollen, with local reports of feeding on the flowers of coconut along the coast, although fruits and corn are also included in their diet.

Distribution:

Endemic to the North of the Moluccan Islands, Indonesian, from Morotai, Riau, Halmahera, Ternate, Bacan, OBI and, possibly, Kasiruta and Obilatau. The Chattering Lory has also been released in Sangihe, to the North of Sulawesi.

Locally common, but around human settlements have apparently been reduced by means of traps. It is very popular in the trade because of its imitative abilities.

Conservation:

• Current IUCN Red List category: Vulnerable.

• Population trend: Decreasing.

The main threat comes from the capture for the cage bird trade. This is the most popular bird exported from the East of Indonesian, largely due to his large imitative abilities. Thousands of copies were legally caught each year in your environment during the Decade of 1980 and principles of 1990, but the real value is probably much higher.

The legal trade was reduced at the end of the Decade of 1990 and ceased in 2003; But, illegal trade continues: in 2007 about 2.800 birds were recorded as looted and in the 2008, 60 were recorded for trade in the markets of birds of Java.

Forests within its area of distribution are largely intact since the beginning of the Decade of 1990, but the exploitation by timber companies has become intensive. Important nesting trees are felled because of its large size, and logging roads greatly facilitating access for trappers, create the perfect combination to bring to the Chattering Lory as threatened species.

Ongoing conservation actions –> Ver and Birdlife

"Chattering Lory" in captivity:

Previously it was very common, now not so much.

Smart, playful and good imitators. The Chattering Lory, However, is very aggressive with other birds. Also messy mainly due to the liquid in his diet.

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.

ItÂ´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:

– 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.
