The adults of the Yellow-and-green Lorikeet (Trichoglossus flavoviridis) they have the upperparts plumage of a beautiful green.

The forecrown and top They are are greenish brown. The throat and the chest to abdomen It is yellow with dark green flakes. Area of sides up to the coverts and the bottom of the wings It shows a beautiful yellow-green.

The bill is orange. The irises is orange-yellow, the legs grey.

It has no sexual dimorphism.

In the youth, all the yellow markings are derived more green. The bill is brown, while the bare parts of the face are white. The irises is brown.

Description 2 subspecies

  • Trichoglossus flavoviridis flavoviridis

    (Wallace, 1863) – Nominal. Overall plumage It is olive green. The forecrown and crown yellow. The back of the neck brown. the yellow throat and the chest to abdomen, with the scalloped dark green.


  • Trichoglossus flavoviridis meyeri

    (Walden, 1871) – Shown in upperparts a darker shade of green; the underparts They are less scaly. The back of the top, the occiput and nape are greenish-Brown. The cheeks and throat They are yellow with dark green stripes. This subspecies is much smaller, between 40 and 50 gr.

Habitat:

The Yellow-and-green Lorikeet they are distributed with greater diligence between primary forest and mature secondary forest than their close relatives, the Ornate Lory. But, This does not prevent them from entering the open lands to feed from the ceibos in flower (coral trees).

Throughout its area, these birds are considered fairly common. In Celebes, are common in the mountainous areas where have been supplanted to a large extent to the Ornate Lory. In the Sula Islands, they are common in almost all altitudes.

They live in small flocks of noisy and sometimes mingle with the Ornate Lory When looking for food in the trees in flower at the edge of forests.

These birds are relatively Shy and they tend to stay inside the dense forest foliage, where their cryptic plumage makes them virtually invisible. When they feel threatened, leave the foliage uttering cries penetrating and powerful. They are easier to fly above the treetops on quick flights or the circulating a flight above the trees, just before landing in the branches more high.

Reproduction:

There is little information reproduction in the natural environment. The only one nest we have discovered so far was in a mossy forest, about 2.400 meters above the sea level. It was located high above the ground in a dead tree.

In captivity, the implementation is, usually, two white eggs that incubate for a few parents will be 23 days. As with all the Lori, the reproductive cycle It is particularly long and hard about 65 days.

Food:

The Yellow-and-green Lorikeet is above all vegetarian. Their language is particularly suitable for crop pollen and the nectar from the flowers. It is equipped with long buds that allows you to easily reach their favorite food. They have a predilection for the trees of the genus Euphorbia and Erythrina.

Distribution:

Size of its range (reproduction / resident): 6.300 km2

The Yellow-and-green Lorikeet They are endemic to the islands east of Indonesian. They are exclusively on the Sula Islands (Taliabu, Mangole, Sanana) and especially in the area of Celebes island.

Description 2 subspecies

Conservation:

You can see in the forests of lowlands from the eastern edge of the Cenderawasih Bay to the humboldt bay (approximately 137 ° a 141 it is), reaching inside through the northern slopes of the Van Rees mountains to 700 meters above sea level. Not rare within its small range.

Conservation:


minor concern


• Current IUCN Red List category: Least concern

• Population trend: Decreasing

This species is suspected of slow to moderate decline due to loss of habitat, limited degradation and some pressure for his capture.

Its population is estimated around the 10,000 specimens.

In the past, this species has been caught in relatively large numbers for the cage bird trade, both for the domestic and foreign markets, with a total of 1.582 birds exported from Indonesia between 1985 and 1990 (Beehler 1985, Nash 1990b , KD Bishop in litt., 1996, 1997to collar), and 1.791 between 1990 and 2001, When the species registered trade ceased (UNEP-WCMC 2007). But, the true extent of trade is unknown and is likely to be overlooked by many hunters in the preference of the most coveted and abundant species (B. Beehler in litt. 2012).

Aratinga de Socorro

Gender-related differences are unknown although the immature has irises Brown color.

NOTE:

  • The Socorro Parakeet It is often considered a subspecies of the Green Parakeet. But, Howell and Webb They presented evidence that supports the separation of the species from the other subspecies of Aratinga holochlora. They found that the bill of the Socorro Parakeet is larger than, and noticed differences in the color of the skin of the eye ring, also has a Wing formula different, the tenth primary feather It is shorter than the seventh and Green Parakeet is the reverse. Both species also differ in the vocalization, calls of the Green Parakeet they are richer in harmonics that the of the Socorro Parakeet.

Habitat:

Most commonly observed in forests of species such as Bumelia socorrense, Guettarda insularis, Ilex socorroensis, with trees of at least 8 metres in height. Usually, above 500 m (especially on the South side of Socorro island), because in most of the rest of its distribution area, in the lower elevations, It has lost its vegetation preferred because of the sheep pasture.

Registered at low altitudes, 4 m, where the native forest (in canyons), near the sea level, especially in tall trees of Croton masonii, Conocarpus erecta and Ficus.

Usually, in flocks of up to 40 birds, rarely come to the 100 specimens. They gather in numerous flocks on the branches of the guayabillo, in smaller flocks (until 6) or only in pairs during the breeding season.

Son social, even there is care collective nests, They show strong fidelity to nesting sites, based on observations of re-use of nests.

Reproduction:

They nest in tree cavities, especially of the species Bumelia socorrense. the size of the clutch It is unknown, but the breeding It is thought that it can begin in the month of November. The young are altricial.

Food:

Registered foods include seeds trees Bumelia socorrense, Guettarda insularis, Ilex socorroensis and Psidium socorrense; pulp of fruits of Opuntia and Ficus cotinifoilia, especially in the season dry.

They aim to feed in the tips of the trees or the highest branches, Although also has observed them are home on the floor

Distribution:

Endemic, It is only in the Socorro island in the The Revillagigedo Islands archipelago off the West coast of Mexico. Estimated population in 400-500 birds in 1992 (approximately nine birds per km² of suitable habitat). considered common, but recent decreasepossible n due to loss of preferred habitat (still present in about 22% of the island) and the resulting erosion of the sheep that graze in excess. Predation by feral cats can also be a threat.

Endangered Endangered ⓘ (UICN)ⓘ

• Current category of the Red List of the UICN: In danger of extinction.

• Population trend: Decreasing.

• Population size : Unknown.

Justification of the Red List of the Category

Based on a model of deforestation in the amazon basin, and their potential susceptibility to capture for the bird trade, It is suspected that the population of the Hellmayr's Parakeet It has declined rapidly over three generations, and therefore it has been classified as danger of extinction.

Justification of the population

Recent world population is unknown given taxonomic divisions.

Justification trend

This species is suspected that he has been able to lose 43,0 to 52,1% of suitable habitat within their distribution over three generations (18 years) based on a model of deforestation of the Amazon (Soares-Filho et to the . 2006, Bird et to the. 2011). Given the susceptibility of this species to capture, It suspected population decline by 50% in three generations.

The main threat to this species is that it is accelerating the Deforestation in the Amazon basin for livestock and soybean production, provided by the expansion of the road network (Soares-Filho et to the. 2006, Bird et to the. 2011).

The changes proposed by the Forest code of Brazil they reduce the percentage of land that a private owner has a legal obligation to keep as forest and include an amnesty for owners who deforested before July 2008 (who would later be absolved of the need to reforest illegally cleared land) (Bird et to the. 2011).

His capture for bird trade wild can represent a significant threat.

Conservation actions and ongoing research

It is not known any.

The proposed conservation and research actions

Expand the network of protected areas to effectively protect IBA.

Effectively manage the resources of existing protected areas and new, the use of new opportunities for financing the management of protected areas with the common goals of reducing carbon emissions and maximize biodiversity conservation.

conservation on private lands is also essential, through the expansion of market pressures for rational land management and prevention of logging on land not suitable for agriculture (Soares-Filho et to the. 2006).

Campaign against proposed changes to Forest code of Brazil that would lead to a decrease in the width of protected riparian forest areas such as Permanent Preservation Areas (APPs), that function as vital corridors in fragmented landscapes.

Vulnerable


• Current category of the Red List of the UICN: Vulnerable.

• Population trend: Decreasing.

The population is estimated to be a number of 2.500-9.999 mature individuals.

Threats

Its decline is attributed to the destruction and fragmentation of habitat, largely through the conversion of burning forests to small farms (Jacobs and Walker, 1999).

Severe loss of this species can be expected due to deforestation and degradation of forests, by burning and grazing, on Cordillera de Chilla, Loja of Ecuador, although 1995 there were still extensive forest areas (Toyne and Flanagan 1997, Jacobs and Walker 1999).
