Eye ring white; their bill yellowish; eyes dark brown.
The female with the tail totally green. The only thing different in the females is that the lateral feathers of their tail are green / yellow with black tips.
It inhabits in humid jungles (in the canopy), semi-humid and forest edges, until the 400 m (locally until the 1200 m). Fly in large flocks, migrates in high Amazonia, perhaps following the fruiting of some kind of plants.
The species is apparently Nomad, bird rarely found in the same area for little more than a few weeks.

The Scarlet-shouldered Parrotlet It has a very disjunct range in northern South America. It is known from southern Venezuela, as well as the northeast of the country, with both populations considered rare and local, although often it recorded along the Caño Colorado east of the state Monagas (pit et to the., 1997, Hilty 2003, Restall et al., 2006).
There is a population in neighboring Guyana, Suriname and North of Brazil in Roraima and the northern states of amazon, extending at least occasionally in Trinidad*, Trinidad and Tobago.
Records Trinidad, in 1974, 1975 and 1980, probably correspond to wandering flocks (pit et to the., 1997).
It is a local and rare species in eastern Colombia. Another is the northernmost town in eastern Ecuador, where it is again rare (Del Hoyo et al., 1997, Restall et al., 2006). This strip continues to the east of Peru, through the west end of Brazil north of Bolivia. They can also be seen in brazilian amazon, from Rondônia east to west maranhão, with one record Manaus (pit et to the., 1997).
Conservation:
State of conservation ⓘ
Vulnerable ⓘ(UICN)ⓘ
• Current category of the Red List of the UICN: Vulnerable.
• Population trend: Stable.
Rationale for the Red List category
Based on a model of future deforestation in the amazon basin and its susceptibility to hunting and habitat fragmentation, It is suspected that population of this species will decrease rapidly during the next three generations and, therefore, It has risen to Vulnerable.
Justification of the population
The population size World has not been quantified, but this species is described as «uncommon and patchily distributed» (Stotz et to the., 1996).
Justification of trend
It is suspected that this species has lost 24,4-28,8% of habitat within its distribution over three generations (15 years) starting from a model of deforestation Amazon (Soares-Filho et to the., 2006, Bird et to the., 2011). Given the susceptibility of the species to hunting and / or entrapping, It is suspected that population of this species will decrease by ≥ 30% during three generations.

The Red-lored Amazon(Amazona autumnalis) is distinguished by its red front; Green with edge lilac it nape ; crown lilac; stain red in the wing
, and tail blue margin.
The bill is grey with the upper jaw yellowish-horn. The irises his eye is orange. The legs are of color gray greenish. They do not possess sexual dimorphism, that is to say, there is no physical difference between the male and the female.
This amazon frequents a wide range of habitats wooded and open with trees, including rainforest, tropical deciduous forest, pine forests, mangroves, forest swamps, gallery woods, areas cultivated with trees high and plantations; also forest dry in the South of Ecuador.
The Red-lored Amazon move from the rainforest (breeding season) to a habitat more open in winter in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. The altitudes that inhabit range from sea level to the 320 metres in Oaxaca, 1.100 metres in Honduras, 800 metres in the Caribbean, 1.000 meters on the slopes of the peaceful of Costa Rica, and 1.000 metres in Colombia.
The birds tend to be in pairs or in flocks loose, being more gregarious When feed (occasionally macaws) and when resting. outside the breeding season, birds take refuge in tall trees in gallery forests or mangroves.
Reproduction:
They nest during the seasonal dry in hollow of trees (usually dead, for example, Tabebuia or Ceiba) or on the stump of a Palm tree. Birds in State reproductive in April, Oaxaca; February-March, Belice; March, Guatemala; January-February, Colombia. Reproduce between February-April, Panama; March-may, Belice and January-March, Ecuador. Clutch 3-4 eggs.
The incubation varies from 25 to 26 days. The chicks remain in the nest 70 days.
Size of the area of distribution (reproduction / resident): 2.570.000 km2
The Red-lored Amazon It extends from the South of Mexico north of South America with a population disjunct in the amazon.
You can find in them lands low of the this of Mexico, in the South of Tamaulipas, in the East of San Luis Potosi, Puebla, Oaxaca, Chiapas, Tabasco, Campeche and Quintana Roo. Records from other parts of the country (for example, City of Mexico) probably you refer to leak.
You can see in Belice and in the lowlands of the Caribbean of Guatemala and Honduras (including Roatan and Guanaja in Bay islands and probably soon in Utila), until Nicaragua and Costa Rica, where they are present in humid areas of the tropics on both slopes (absent from the dry Northwest ), also in Panama and on the islands of Coiba and Escudo de Veraguas and in the Archipelago of pearls (absent from the driest areas of the Azuero Peninsula).
In the Northwest of Colombia appear on the Pacific slope of the Western Andes from the Panamanian border to the South up to the Serrania del Baudo and from the southwest of Cauca south to Ecuador in the Gulf of Guayaquil. Also it extends to the North of the Andes in Colombia to Magdalena Medio and to the East in the Northwest of Venezuela in Zulia (Sierra de Perija).
In the Northwestern basin of the brazilian amazon a disjunct population exists between Black river and Solimões River.
Usually resident with some local seasonal habitat preferences (for example, in Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico). Is usually the most common parrot and more numerous in some parts of the range (for example, in parts of Central America) but now is a species very rare to the West of them Andes in Ecuador and Colombia with a population of the subspecies Amazona autumnalis lilacina estimated in 400-600 specimens.
Population decreased drastically in the island of Roatan (Honduras) where he captured it is massively for export, and maybe missing in Utila for the same reason.
Capture combined with the loss of habitat also has caused declines in some other parts of its area of distribution (for example, east of Mexico and Ecuador). common in captivity in some areas, and marketed internationally.
Distribution 3 subspecies:
Amazona autumnalis autumnalis
(Linnaeus, 1758) – Nominal. Coast of the Caribbean from the East of Mexico South to North of Nicaragua.
(Salvadori, 1891) – North of Nicaragua south to Colombia and Venezuela.
Conservation:
State of conservation ⓘ
Minor Concern ⓘ(UICN)ⓘ
• Current category of the Red List of the UICN: Least concern.
• Population trend: Decreasing.
This species has a very large range and, Therefore, is not approaching the thresholds of Vulnerability at the discretion of the distribution area size.
The population size is very large and, therefore, not approaching the thresholds for vulnerable under the criterion of population size (<10.000 mature individuals with an estimated continuous decrease in> 10% in ten years or three generations or with a specific population structure). For these reasons, the species is evaluated as least concern.
Justification of trend
It is suspected that the population is in decline due to the continuous destruction of the habitat and to levels of exploitation unsustainable.
The Amazona lored in captivity:
Is of vital importance that the diet is complete and balanced in all directions, as this prevents, along with other factors, the appearance of bone problems or the known software that affects numerous parrots. To ensure the balance of this, prepared feed very well supply the nutritional needs of each animal, However, they should not miss plant, fruits and vegetables, as well as diversity of seeds that come in mixture.
As for accommodation, If they are not removed from cage constantly, it should be spacious enough to exercise the muscles of the wings and legs, and the plumage of the bird is preserved in perfect condition.
The Red-lored Amazon enjoy, like all parrots, tearing apart and finding out things, so they must have the occasional toy or we may end up having problems with the furniture. Them feet of parrot are very suitable if your stay is in the outside of the cage. Of course, they must not be exposed to draughts or sudden changes in temperature. The water must be clean at your fingertips, because the existence of fungi causes serious breathing problems.
In terms of coexistence to have it in the neighborhood area, in comparison with other species in Amazon, are relatively quiet, so in general do not cause many problems.
In captivity, can get to live up to 80 years.
BREEDING AND REPRODUCTION:
Its captive breeding started for the first time in United States, after their importation from the place of origin, South America in the 1950's.
Those individuals acquire their sexual maturity on the 4 years of age, and if you have a good breeding pair in the right conditions, they can perform two annual broods, Although the main thing if you want to raise, patience. Many pairs need several years until the first calf, so it is very important to be patient and wait for the right moment.
The female lays in the nest (No fill) of 2 to 6 eggs incubated without the help of the male usually. This is dedicated to feeding the female itself and that of the chicks after their birth at the 28 days until independence after twelve weeks.

Measured around 35 centimeters and between 240 and 330 g. weight.
In the Galah(Eolophus roseicapilla) adult, the front, the hoopoe and the cap they form a joint undercover pale pink in white which contrasts slightly with the back of the neck darker. The face, neck and underparts they are deep pink.
The bottom of the flanks, the the thighs and mantas subcaudales are grey clear. The upperparts They show a grey pigeon which is slightly paler on the rump and in their flow rates. Tertiary they are grey and dark grey and medium the flight feather.
The upper part of the tail It is pale grey with a darker terminal tips. The bottom of the tail is uniformly Brown.
The bill is horn. The bare periophthalmic is greyish Red. The irises shows a dark brown hue. The legs are grey.
The female is similar to fellow, outside of the irises red.
The youth can distinguish is from the adults by their underparts grey infiltrated.
In the North of its distribution area, the Galah frequent mountain forests, While much further South, most tend to live in the temperate forests of the lowlands.
During the summer season, It is more common in high altitude forested areas., staying mainly in small cool and shady ravines, always near a river.
In Winter, He moved to arid forests in more moderate altitudes. At this time of the year, also visit the parks and urban gardens.
The Galah It is a bird of open areas, always avoiding the dense forests.
During the nesting season they live in pairs or in small family groups, but the rest of the year, gather in large flocks where food resources are important. Sometimes can gather up to 1.000 birds in the pastures where they feed.
They are sentinels responsible to give the alarm in case of danger.
The power stations are separated by many miles of the rest areas.
In the evening devoted to drinking and perform aerial stunts before joining the residence. Occasionally it can be active and noisy at night.
Reproduction:
In the North, the reproduction has place between February and June.
During the courtship, the male Struts before his partner making bows, shaking his head, producing low notes and showing a repertoire of stunts.
Most of the time, the nest is a natural cavity in a eucalyptus, between 2 and 20 meters above the ground.
The cacatúa Galah You strum the bark of the trunk around the hole which is the entrance of the nest. This practice is sometimes so excessive that they cause the death of the tree. Cliffs can also be used as a place of nesting.
The same couples usually are mate during all their life and are loyal to the same nesting sites for several consecutive years.
The spawning includes 2-6 eggs. The female lays an egg every one or two days and the incubation period is about 25 days. Both parents incubate at the same time, and they provide assistance to young people. They feed their young every 3 hours, sounding his beak to regurgitate the food. The young remain in the nest during 7 u 8 weeks.
While they are able to fly quickly when they come out of the nest, their survival rate is small. The first days after the flight, they return to the nest for the night. Shortly after, large nurseries are formed in which the parents continue to feed their young.
From time to time, the Galah It has a second litter in a season.
Food:
Consume a wide variety of plants, such as oats or wheat seed or the other many herbaceous plants. In addition to that, They also eat insects and their larvae, berries, outbreaks, flowers and seeds of eucalyptus.
They feed almost exclusively on Earth.
Distribution:
Size distribution (reproduction / resident): 14400000 km2
endemic to Australia where it occupies the entire continent. Most of its population lives in the south-east of New Welsh of the South and in the State of Victoria. In other places, is less abundant.
Subspecies distribution:
Eolophus roseicapilla roseicapilla:
(Western Australia, South of the great desert of sand and probably in the Simpson Desert in the southern part of the territory of the North)
Eolophus roseicapilla albiceps:
(Tasmania and Southeast of Australia, heading north to the 20 degrees latitude South and East)
• Current category of the Red List of the UICN: Least concern.
• Population trend: In increased.
Although it has a beneficial action stopping the spread of some weeds, the Galah have a considerable potential of destruction and is considered a pest in most of Australia.
Crops, especially cereals, they suffer great losses each year. They often cause the destruction of the trees where they nest or establish their residences. The world population It is estimated in more than 5 millions of individuals and the number is constantly growing.
This remarkable species not is protected in all the regions and can be killed if it causes too much agricultural loss.
"Galah" in captivity:
It´s very common in poultry around the world, for being one of the easiest cockatoos both to raise and to care for and for being highly demanded as a pet both for its physical appearance and for its more manageable character than that of other cockatoos. Her offspring should take into account the different subspecies, Therefore we will avoid possible hybridization between them.
Son parrots extroverts, friendly, playful and affectionate. However, they are still cacatuidos, They therefore require more attention than other psittacine species to be happy animals. Its speaking ability is fairly high within the group of cockatoos, with males that better mimic. It is considered that it might also noisy, especially if you are bored or if it has been poorly educated or poorly maid, so you will have to always buy weaned and well socialized specimens. When they are young and still take porridge his voice is very unpleasant.
They possess a behavior that is similar to the of the small Cockatiel. Males are more talkers and possess a strong character. The females., on the other hand, they are silent and less dominant. They are most appropriate, Therefore, to be adopted as pets.
The males they may become aggressive in mating season.
They have a high tendency to obesity, thing very significantly decreases their hope and quality of life, by what control seriously its diet, providing low number of fats and allowing to do much exercise.
Its life expectancy formerly was around the 15-18 years, probably due to a bad diet popular ignorance of your requirements. Today there is talk of animals up to 40 years of life.
If we opt for a cockatoo for the home, a pink may be the best alternative: less demanding than her sisters, slightly less noisy and, If we chose a female, We have the gentleness and docility secured.
The Cardinal Lory(Pseudeos cardinalis) has a characteristic shape due to its relatively long tail.
Among adults, There is no sexual dimorphism, the plumage is completely brilliant red, but the upperparts and wings They seem to be darker.
The bill is orange-red with a black color in the base area.
The bare orbital skin is black.
The feathers the lower parts have small yellowish features, What gives a vaguely scaly appearance.
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.
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.

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.

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.

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

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.
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.
