Trichoglossus
''Trichoglossus'' is a genus of lorikeet in the Psittaculidae or true parrot superfamily. The genus is distributed widely through Australia, Wallacea and Melanesia, with outliers in the Philippines and Micronesia. Members of the genus are characterised by barring, sometimes prominently, on the upper breast. Taxonomy The genus ''Trichoglossus'' was introduced in 1826 by the English naturalist James Francis Stephens. The name combines the Ancient Greek ''thrix'' meaning "hair" and ''glōssa'' meaning "tongue". The type species was subsequently designated as the coconut lorikeet. Following the publication of a molecular phylogenetic study of the lorikeets in 2020, three species were moved from ''Trichoglossus '' to the newly erected genus ''Saudareos''. These were the Mindanao lorikeet, the ornate lorikeet The ornate lorikeet (''Saudareos ornata''), sometimes named the ornate lory, is a species of parrot in the family Psittaculidae.

The rainbow lorikeet (''Trichoglossus moluccanus'') is a species of parrot found in Australia. It is common along the eastern seaboard, from northern Queensland to South Australia. Its habitat is rainforest, coastal bush and woodland areas. Six taxa traditionally listed as subspecies of the rainbow lorikeet are now treated as separate species (see ''Taxonomy'').

Coconut Lorikeet
The coconut lorikeet (''Trichoglossus haematodus''), also known as the green-naped lorikeet, is a parrot in the family Psittaculidae. Seven species of lorikeets now recognised were once lumped together under ''Trichoglossus haematodus''. Taxonomy In 1758, English naturalist George Edwards described this species as the red-breasted parrakeet in his work ''Gleanings of Natural History''. He had obtained a stuffed specimen from a China warehouse in London, that had come from the East Indies. "It is a parrakeet, equal to any I have seen for beauty; and I believe hath never been described or figured until now." In 1760 the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson included a description of the coconut lorikeet in his ''Ornithologie'' based on a specimen collected on the island of Ambon in Indonesia. He used the French name ''La perruche variée d'Amboine'' and the Latin name ''Psittaca amboinensis varia''. The two stars (**) at the start of the section indicates that Brisson based his ...

Lories And Lorikeets
Loriini is a tribe of small to medium-sized arboreal parrots characterized by their specialized brush-tipped tongues for feeding on nectar of various blossoms and soft fruits, preferably berries. The species form a monophyletic group within the parrot family Psittaculidae. The group consists of the lories and lorikeets. Traditionally, they were considered a separate subfamily (Loriinae) from the other subfamily (Psittacinae) based on the specialized characteristics, but recent molecular and morphological studies show that the group is positioned in the middle of various other groups. They are widely distributed throughout the Australasian region, including south-eastern Asia, Polynesia, Papua New Guinea, Timor Leste and Australia, and the majority have very brightly coloured plumage. Etymology The word "lory" comes from the Malay ''lūri'', a name used for a number of species of colourful parrots. The name was used by the Dutch writer Johan Nieuhof in 1682 in a book describing hi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Scaly-breasted Lorikeet
The scaly-breasted lorikeet (''Trichoglossus chlorolepidotus'') is an Australian lorikeet found in woodland in eastern Australia. The common name aptly describes this bird, which has yellow breast feathers broadly edged with green that look like scales. Taxonomy The scaly-breasted lorikeet was first described by German zoologist Heinrich Kuhl in 1820. Other names this bird is known by include the gold and green lorikeet, greenie, green lorikeet, green and yellow lorikeet, green keet, green parrot, green leek, and green leaf. It is often colloquially referred to as a "scaly". Its specific epithet is derived from the Ancient Greek root ''khlōros'' 'green, yellow', and ''lepidōtos'' 'scaly'. Description The scaly-breasted lorikeet is about long.Forshaw (2006). plate 13. The crown and sides of head are emerald-green slightly tinged with blue, while the feathers of the back of the neck and throat and breast are yellow, broadly edged with green, giving scaly appearance.

Saudareos
''Saudareos'' is a genus of parrot in the family Psittaculidae. Taxonomy The genus ''Saudareos'' was introduced in 2020 for a clade of lorikeets that form a sister clade to ''Eos''. The type species is the ornate lorikeet. The genus name combines the Indonesian language "saudara" meaning "sister" with the genus name ''Eos''. The genus contains three species which were formerly assigned to ''Trichoglossus'' and one that was assigned to ''Psitteuteles. The genus contains the following five species: * Mindanao lorikeet (''Saudareos johnstoniae'') – formerly placed in ''Trichoglossus'' * Sula lorikeet (''Saudareos flavoviridis'') – formerly placed in ''Trichoglossus'' * Yellow-cheeked lorikeet (''Saudareos meyeri'') – split from ''S. flavoviridis'' * Ornate lorikeet (''Saudareos ornata'') – formerly placed in ''Trichoglossus'' * Iris lorikeet The iris lorikeet (''Saudareos iris'') is a small, up to 20 cm long, green lorikeet bird. The male has a red forehead, yellow ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pohnpei Lorikeet
The Pohnpei lorikeet (''Trichoglossus rubiginosus''), known as serehd in Pohnpeian, is a species of parrot in the family Psittaculidae. It is endemic to the island of Pohnpei and the nearby Ahnd Atoll in Micronesia. Historically the species also occurred on Namoluk Atoll near Chuuk, and the species may once have had a wider distribution throughout Micronesia than it does today.Steadman D, (2006). ''Extinction and Biogeography in Tropical Pacific Birds'', University of Chicago Press. Description The Pohnpei lorikeet is long and weights around . Its plumage is mainly reddish-maroon with vague approximately transverse striations of darker maroon. The head a slightly darker maroon. The flight feathers and tail are olive-yellow. Its legs are grey. The male has an orange beak and yellow-orange irises, while the female has a yellow beak and light grey irises. The juveniles have brown beaks and brown irises.Forshaw (2006). plate 13. Habitat and behaviour Its natural habitat is tropic ...

Ornate Lorikeet
The ornate lorikeet (''Saudareos ornata''), sometimes named the ornate lory, is a species of parrot in the family Psittaculidae. It is endemic to the Sulawesi archipelago in Indonesia.Coates, B. J., & K. D. Bishop (1997). ''A Guide to the Birds of Wallacea.'' Dove Publications Pty. Ltd. It is found in forest, woodland, mangrove and plantations, and is locally common. Taxonomy The ornate lorikeet was formally described by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus in 1758 in the tenth edition of his '' Systema Naturae'' under the binomial name ''Psittacus ornatus''. Linnaeus based his description of the "Lory Parrakeet" that had been described and illustrated in 1751 by George Edwards in his "A Natural History of Uncommon Birds". Linnaeus mistakenly specified the location as "America" although Edwards had stated that the bird had come from the "East Indies" (actually the Indonesian island of Sulawesi). The ornate lorikeet was formerly placed in the genus ''Trichoglossus'' but wa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mindanao Lorikeet
The Mindanao lorikeet or Mount Apo lorikeet (''Saudareos johnstoniae'') is a species of parrot in the family Psittaculidae. There are two very similar subspecies, which are both endemic to Mindanao, Philippines. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss and trapping for the illegal wildlife trade. IUCN estimates the population to be as low as 1,500 individuals with it going locally extinct in areas of its range. Taxonomy The Mindanao lorikeet was formerly placed in the genus ''Trichoglossus'' but was moved to a newly introduced genus ''Saudareos'' based on the results of a molecular genetic analysis of the lorikeets published in 2020. There are two poorly differentiated subspecies:Forshaw (2006). plate 13. *''S. j. johnstoniae'' – central and southeast Mindanao *''S. j. pistra'' – western Mindanao Description The Mindanao lorikeet is 20 cm (8 in) long.
