  • Detroit Audubon Society Annual Program
    Spring 2009 www.detroitaudubon.org Volume 2009, Issue 2 Detroit Audubon Society Annual Program - March 28th The 2009 Annual Program will take place on Saturday, March 28th at the Southfield Parks and Recreation building in the Southfield Civic Center. This year’s program will feature a morning field trip to Carpenter Lake, live animals and lessons on animal life and nature photography. The day begins with a bird walk and tour of the new Carpenter Lake Nature Preserve. Mary Carlock, Southfield naturalist, will give an overview of the history and vision for the development and discuss what is planned for the future. At the Parks and Recreation Building, just in time for spring, Becky Johnson from the Detroit Zoo is going to present a program detailing the metamorphosis of amphibians. Then Beth Duman will show her collection of Michigan snakes and discuss their natural history. Our annual membership meeting will be held during the lunch break to inform members of the state of DAS and to discuss programs in progress and plans for new programs. After the break, Joe Rogers will present his program on raptors, hawks and owls found in Michigan. Joe will have several live birds to display. The last session of the day will be devoted to the rapidly advancing field of digital nature photography. Make every effort to attend the program this year. Space is limited, so send in your registration soon. We have tried to keep the fees low and have a great family rate, however, we suggest infants and toddlers not come.

Method:The study was conducted in the maleo bird conservation area of PT. Panca Amara Utama in Uso Village, Batui District, Banggai Regency, Central Sulawesi Province, from August 2016 to December 2018, by using 10 1-day-old maleo birds. Variables observed included cloaca morphology, macrocephalon and estrogen hormone concentration. Results:The cloaca of Maleo birds has a difference. The difference is in the protrusion on the top of the cloaca. The male Maleo birds have a protrusion in the cloaca while the females do not have it. Organs in the form of protrusion in the cloaca are thought to be a sign of male sex. There are differences in shape and size between the male and female macrocephalon, the males have about 3.96 ± 011 cm width in average with rounded shape while the females have about 3.20 ± 0.10 cm width in average with oval shape.

The triumphs, challenges and failures of young North Island brown kiwi (Apteryx mantelli): a study of behaviour, growth, dispersal and mortality Stephanie Walden A thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Zoology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand Alexandra Louise Wilson 2013 i ii Abstract North Island brown kiwi (NIBK, Apteryx mantelli), an endemic New Zealand species, are estimated to have declined by 90% from pre-human colonisation numbers. Currently, at least 60% of mortality is attributed to introduced mammalian predators, namely stoats (Mustela erminea) preying on chicks. Therefore, conservation effort focuses on predator trapping/killing, and hatching and rearing NIBK chicks in captivity and releasing them back into the wild. These efforts are resulting in increased recruitment of chicks into populations. However, little is known about the biology and behaviour of NIBK chicks in the wild and how this may affect management of these populations. Consequently, the aim of this study was to examine the ecology of young wild NIBK in a natural high density population with reduced predator diversity on Ponui Island. More specifically, the goal was to determine their growth rates, behaviour around the natal nest, dispersal and mortality, and how these factors may be influenced by environmental variables. During the 2010 - 2011 and 2011 - 2012 breeding seasons 29 young NIBK were observed from hatching until mortality or the end of 2012.

Biodiversitas 12: 171-176. Over exploitation of maleo bird eggs has become the main problem. In addition, habitat demolition and fragmentation have also caused decrease in maleo bird population. This research aimed to know the effectiveness of hatching pattern to produce maleo breeding, studying breeding pattern of maleo bird through hatching approaches of feed quality and temperature adjustment, and studying maleo bird respond towards caring pattern adjustment by measuring plasticity value. There were two phases in this research. The first phase was hatching by using modified incubator. The other one was the caring of the breeding from the result of hatching through feed pattern management using protein and energy balancing. The results of the research indicated that the hatching success was 65%; however, life endurance of the birds from birth to one month of age was only 40%. Their growth showed sufficiently high increase after passing critical period in their body-weight based on feeding pattern containing 21% of protein that was 64.93 g and 62.59 g for maleo in Lore Lindu National Park (LLNP) and Bangkiriang Wildlife Reserve (BWR), respectively.
