Origin: Micronesia

Character: shy and nervous

Life expectancy: ----

Height: 24 cm..

Content

Description

24 cm.. length and a weight between 70 and 85 gr.

The Pohnpei Lorikeet (Trichoglossus rubiginosus) is unmistakable.

The head and back, dark brown, darker in the head. Scapulars and blankets, are of color Bordeaux dark. The flight feather are blackish in those networks internal and infiltrated with color olivaceous in them vane outer.

The primaries more external are clearly yellow. The bottom of the wings black. The underparts Deep Garnet color, with a black edge in the bottom sides of the edges that draw a bar at the bottom.

The upper part of the tail color is olivaceous, brighter in the vicinity of the tip; lower tail is of color yellow pale. The bill is orange. The irises are yellow-orange, the legs and feet are dark gray.

In the female, the bill seems more yellowish and the irises are greyish white.

In the youth, the feathers seem sharper.

Sound of the Pohnpei Lorikeet.

Habitat:

This species is present on the entire surface of the island, until 600 m. It is distributed by a variety of habitats, such as coconut trees, plane trees, dense tropical forests, plots regenerated, forests and mangroves.

The Pohnpei Lorikeet is a bird especially loud, He throws her screams from the roosts after dark. It is fairly easy to detect, Since it wanders in small flocks of February to December in search of food in trees in flower.

It tends to fly high and travel long distances over the ocean.

When fed into the forests of tall trees, usually favors the average vegetation floor.

As the Ponape island receives a large amount of precipitation (until 7600 mm. per year in some places), the Pohnpei Lorikeet seek refuge under the large leaves.

Reproduction:

The Pohnpei Lorikeet It builds its nest on top of a coconut tree or in any cavity of a tree from the forest.
The spawning usually consists of an only egg.
The nesting season generally goes from December to may.

Food:

Consumes nectar, pollen and fruit. While feeding, It tends to keep its head down to pick up their food in the flowers of coconut and banana.
The nectar of Erythrina and the mango is very appreciated by the Pohnpei Lorikeet.

Distribution:

Size of the area of distribution (reproduction / resident): 350 km2

As its name implies, lori this is endemic of the Ponape island, which is the most populated island of the States federate of Micronesia. Formerly, also lived on the atoll of Namoluk about the island of Truk.

It is possible that range was more extensive than it is today.

Conservation:

– Current IUCN Red List category: Near threatened

– The population trend: Decreasing

This species is listed as near-threatened because it is suspected that their population, which is mostly a subpopulation, It is in decline due to changes in land use. It also has a very small range; But, is unlikely that it is declining, in terms of population, given the adaptability of the species. Neither population is severely fragmented or restricted to a few locations.

Surveys in 1994 suggested that the species had declined a 74-75% Since the beginning of the eighties, probably indicating a decrease in real (Buden 2000). The current population exceeds the 10.000 specimens (Juniper and Parr 1998, M. O'Brien a little. 2011).

In the news, It is the official bird of the State of Pohnpei and your hunting, capture and export is illegal.

"Pohnpei Lorikeet" in captivity:

Is usually not kept out of the Pohnpei island.

Lorius hypoinochrous rosselianus

(Rothschild & Hartert, 1918) – Difference with the species rated by the fact of that has the chest the same red that the upper part of the abdomen.

Habitat:

Unlike in the Black-capped Lory, often found in coconut, mangroves and coastal vegetation (especially fond of coconut flowers); the Purple-bellied Lory also frequents low forests, the edges of these, high secondary forests, inhabited or partially cleared areas and gardens. Found individually, in pairs or in small groups of up to 10-20 birds. Ruidoso, visible and Active, they often live in trees or just above the canopy.

In the Island of Papua, they are distributed by the lowlands and foothills, in New Britain up to at least 450 m, in New Ireland until 750 m (where is sympathetic with the White-naped Lory) and up 1.600 metres in the Goodenough island.

Virtually nothing is known of the reproductive ecology of this species., Although is has been able to observe to them males in a, apparent, participation in the cortejo, with repetitive stretching of the neck and movements side of the head.

Reproduction:

Due to its extreme rarity, We know little about their reproductive behavior.
It is likely to be very similar to the of the Black-capped Lory (Lorius lory). This means a spawning two eggs and a incubation period of about 26 days.

Food:

The Purple-bellied Lory It feeds mainly in the canopy in noisy groups. Its diet natural consists of pollen, nectar, flowers, fruits, insects and their larvae, and probably seeds.
Usually see, sometimes, feeding is in company of the Sulphur-crested cockatoo and the Eclectus Parrot.

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.

There is no geographic variation

Sound of the Purple-naped Lory.

Habitat:

In Seram the Purple-naped Lory found in montane and submontane forests, both primary and secondary, a altitude between 400 and 1.050 m; also in the jungle in the this of the island and in the areas cultivated. They move in pairs, rarely in groups and can be territorial. reproductive ecology of the species in the wild is unknown. Forshaw gives details of an instance of poultry farming in which two eggs were laid., hatching around the 25 days; the young are independent only three months more afternoon.

A group birding in Ambon

Reproduction:

The reproduction of the species in the wild is unknown. Details of breeding in poultry farming establish a clutch of two eggs, incubation in a few 25 days, and the young three months after independence.

Food:

Feed on fruits of Pandanus scattered.

Distribution:

Size of the area of distribution (reproduction / resident): 6.300 km2

endemic to the Seram Islands and Ambon (has also been seen in Buru: probably an escaped bird), in Indonesian. There are no recent records of Ambon or Buru. The current records come from the Manusela National Park (uncommon) and the center of Seram and WAE Fufa (locally common).

In 1987 Bowler and Taylor they found a rate of 0,7 birds per hour in Kineke, in the Manusela National Park; But during nearly two months of observations in 1990, they only saw 10 individuals.

The species is a bird people of cage in Seram and throughout the province of Maluku and the expansion of foreign trade could pose a threat to their survival.

The population worldwide is estimated at less than 20.000 individuals in 1991, but currently, the population, is considered on the rise. VULNERABLE.

Conservation:

• Current IUCN Red List category: Danger.

• Population trend: Decreasing.

This species has been upgraded to In danger Since its population It is suspected that has fallen below 2.500 individuals mature, with more than 250 in any subpopulation mature individuals.

Capture unsustainable for local and national trade, as well as the loss of forests due to logging, oil extraction and hydroelectric power combinations.

These facts, It is suspected, they are causing an downhill fast and constant in the species.

Description 4 subspecies

Charmosyna papou papou

(Scopoli, 1786) The nominal.

Charmosyna papou goliathina

(Rothschild & Hartert, 1911) With sexual dimorphism and two different colors. The normal morph is similar to the subspecies Stellae, but differentiated by the yellow at the tip of the tail (non-fusion Orange to yellow). The coverts of the tail they are longer, in color purple blue, not red as in the stellae. As in the subspecies stellae, This subspecies has melanism, the upperparts is green, and underparts blue-black in their entirety. Head and the mantle, only broken by the blue of the stripes in the nape; Red in the coverts of the back and bottom of the tail. The wings are green. The tail seen from below it is more yellow-green in color than in normal morphology, and streamers they are fused opaque to verdoso-amarillo down Green.

Charmosyna papou wahnesi

(Rothschild, 1906) Similar to the subspecies goliathina, but the Red of the part superior of the chest It is bordered below with a narrow yellow band. Does not have a green-washing in the flanks and abdomen top. The belly Central and tail coverts are red.

Charmosyna papou stellae

(Meyer,AB, 1886) This species has sexual dimorphism and also has a melanism (excess of dark pigmentation). In comparison with the nominal, the black patch has much more extensive of the nape, blue-violet striped; This black patch replaces the two areas of black in the crown and in the nape of the speciesnominal. The streamers of the tail They also differ, merging from green to orange red (instead of green to Orange) and finally to yellow on the tips. The subspecies stellae also lacks of the chest yellow and stripes on the flanks that if you have the Papou, as well as his black patch on the belly that extends to the flanks.

The females They show a visible patch of yellow on the lower of the back Green-tipped on the longest feathers, and coverts of the tail red (male shows red with blue on the patch of the rump). The Red of the part superior of the chest seems more uniform. In the metamorphosis by melanism the Red is largely replaced by black (see goliathina).

The young birds with dark and thin stripes on the underparts.

Habitat:

Have been recorded at an approximate height of 1.200 meters above a row of trees and also to the 3.500 m, although the most common is to see them above the 2.000 meters and rare to see them below the 1.500 m; found by Forshaw in the forest of Nothofagus and Podocarpus to 2.800 m.

A species active and agile you are often found in pairs or in small groups. The birds move through the trees with jerky movements, often waving his serpentine tail, However, It can be very discreet between the tops of the trees.

Observed in Scheffleras, often in the company of other species, with the same food taste, as the Yellow-billed Lorikeet (Neopsittacus musschenbroekii). Seen often making passes above the trees or half-height, among the plants through the clear.

Reproduction:

The nesting in nature it is not described, but Pratt observed an adult tracing branches above and below a large group of epiphytes , Perhaps in search of a nesting site. A pair in breeding conditions was also observed in late August., and young people have been in nature during October and November. In captivity, the implementation has been two eggs, lasting about three weeks of incubation and the young remain in the nest for about two months.

Food:

Feeds on flowering trees or flowers of the epiphytes, nectar, pollen, fruits and small seeds. Larvae of insects occasionally.

Distribution:

Intervals in the center of New Guinea in Irian Java (Indonesian) and Papua New Guinea, in where are distributed from the southeast of Vogelkop towards the Adelbert range, Huon Peninsula and intervals in the Southeast.

Distribution 4 subspecies:

Charmosyna papou papou

West at New Guinea (montane forests of Península Bird's Head)

Charmosyna papou goliathina

Of the Weyland mountains to the Eastern Highlands of Papua New Guinea.

Charmosyna papou wahnesi

Mountains of the Huon Peninsula (North East New Guinea)

Charmosyna papou stellae

Mountains of southeastern in New Guinea (Herzog mountains of Owen Stanley mountain range)

Conservation:

• Current IUCN Red List category: Least concern.

• Population trend: Stable.

The world population It has not been quantified, Although that it is more thought of 500.000 specimens. The species appears to be quite common throughout its area of distribution (pit et to the ., 1997).

The hunting of this species for the use of their feathers as tribal headdresses and capture for the bird trade do not believe today that can affect the size of the population.

It is suspected that the population is stable in the absence of evidence of any reduction or other substantial threat.

"Papuan Lorikeet" in captivity:

Coupled pairs will defend their territory vigorously. Individual birds active and playful; they require a cage as big as possible. May be a bit uncomfortable due to liquid diet.

Son rare in captivity.
