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.

[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.

"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.

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.

Habitat:

The Black-capped Lory he prefers the primary forests and edges of these, They also reported in secondary forests well grown, in some partially cleared areas and swamp forest. It is not known to occur in the monsoon forest, planted forests or plantations of coconut trees. The Black-capped Lory is mainly distributed in the lowlands up to 1.000 m, but there have been examples to 1.750 m.

They are mainly found in pairs and usually smaller than other groups parrots sympatric, but it may happen that they get together in groups of ten or more to feed in trees in flower.

Males and females are equal.
Immature with yellow stripe in the chest more extensive and more diffuse. Bill Brown in very young birds.

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.
