    Southeast Asia Mega Tour: Singapore/Borneo/Peninsular Malaysia/Halmahera/Sulawesi August 9th-September 30th, 2013 This seven-week tour took us to some of Southeast Asia’s most amazing birding spots, where we racked up some mega targets, saw some amazing scenery, ate some lovely cuisine, and generally had a great time birding. Among some of the fantastic birds we saw were 11 species of pitta, including the endemic Ivory-breasted and Blue-banded Pittas, 27 species of night birds, including the incomparable Satanic Nightjar, Blyth’s, Sunda and Large Frogmouths, and Moluccan Owlet-Nightjar, 14 species of cuckooshrikes, 15 species of kingfishers, and some magical gallinaceous birds like Mountain Peacock- Pheasant, Crested Fireback, and the booming chorus of Argus Pheasant. 13 species of Hornbills were seen, including great looks at Helmeted, White-crowned, Plain-pouched, and Sulawesi. Overall we saw 134 endemic species. Singapore The tour started with some birding around Singapore, and at the Central Catchment Reservoir we started off well with Short-tailed Babbler, Chestnut-bellied Malkoha, Banded Woodpecker, Van Hasselt’s Sunbird, and loads of Pink-necked Green Pigeon. Bukit Batok did well with Straw-headed Bulbul, Common Flameback, and Laced Woodpecker, as well as a particularly obliging group of White- crested Laughingthrush. Borneo We then flew to Borneo, where we began with some local birding along the coast, picking up not only a number of common species of waterbirds but also a mega with White-fronted (Bornean) Falconet.

  • SULAWESI and HALMAHERA
    SULAWESI and HALMAHERA (Indonesia at its best!) Friday 7 th September – Thursday 27 th September 2012 The province of Sulawesi in Indonesia is an oddly-shaped four-legged island lying to the east of Borneo and west of New Guinea. More importantly it is east of the famous Wallace’s line, an imaginary boundary between distinct faunal regions. It is the largest of the Wallacean islands with an avifauna totally distinct from the Greater Sundas to the west. Sulawesi has the largest number of endemic bird species of any Indonesian island with up to 70 currently recognised. Halmahera is the largest of the Moluccas or fabled Spice Islands and lies just a short distance to the east. It has a totally different avifauna with 24 endemics and has affinities more with the Australasian region and is home to the fabulous Wallace’s Standardwing, one of the most bizarre Birds-of-Paradise. Join us on this endemic rich, and fun-filled, ZOOTHERA tour that will leave you longing to return!

  • Marco M.G. Masseti Carpaccio's Parrots and the Early Trade in Exotic Birds Between the West Pacific Islands and Europe I Pappa
    Annali dell'Università degli Studi di Ferrara ISSN 1824 - 2707 Museologia Scientifica e Naturalistica volume 12/1 (2016) pp. 259 - 266 Atti del 7° Convegno Nazionale di Archeozoologia DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15160/1824-2707/ a cura di U. Thun Hohenstein, M. Cangemi, I. Fiore, J. De Grossi Mazzorin ISBN 978-88-906832-2-0 Marco M.G. Masseti Università di Firenze, Dipartimento di Biologia, Laboratori di Antropologia ed Etnologia Carpaccio’s parrots and the early trade in exotic birds between the West Pacific islands and Europe I pappagalli del Carpaccio e l’antico commercio di uccelli esotici fra il Pacifico occidentale e l’Europa Summary - Among the Early Renaissance painters, Vittore Carpaccio (Venice or Capodistria, c. 1465 – 1525/1526) offers some of the finest impressions of the Most Serene Republic at the height of its power and wealth, also illustrating the rich merchandise traded with even the most remote parts of the then known world. For the same reason he portrayed in his paintings many exotic species of mammals and birds which were regarded as very rare and precious, perhaps such as the cardinal lory, Chalcopsitta cardinalis Gray, 1849, and/or the black lory, Chalcopsitta atra atra (Scopoli, 1786), native to the most distant Indo- Pacific archipelagos. Indeed, in Europe foreign animals were often kept in the menageries of the aristocracy, representing an authentic status symbol that underscored the affluence and social position of their owners. This paper provides the opportunity for a reflection on the origins of the trade of exotic birds - or parts of them – between the West Pacific islands and Europe.

  • White Cockatoo Cacatua Alba, Chattering Lory Lorius Garrulus and Violet-Eared Lory Eos Squamata
    Bird Conservation International (1993) 3:145-168 Trade, status and management of three parrots in the North Moluccas, Indonesia: White Cockatoo Cacatua alba, Chattering Lory Lorius garrulus and Violet-eared Lory Eos squamata FRANK R. LAMBERT Summary Between October 1991 and February 1992 field surveys on the status of parrots in the North Moluccas were conducted on Obi, Bacan and Halmahera, with principal focus on three significantly traded species, White Cockatoo Cacatua alba, Chattering Lory Lorius garrulus and Violet-necked Lory Eos squamata. Variable circular plots and variable-distance line transects were used to estimate minimum and maximum population densities at each of 18 sites. C. alba and L. garrulus preferred forest, the former largely confined to lowlands to 600 m, the latter occurring more in hilly areas to at least 1,300 m. E. squamata frequented all habitat types, being commoner in disturbed habitats though rarer at higher altitudes. Minimum populations (the first two being global) were 50,000, 46,000 and 66,000 respectively, and minimum estimated captures in 1991 5,120, 9,600 and 2,850, indicating overexploitation of the first two species. To ensure sustainability, total annual catch quotas should be reduced to 1,710, 810 and 1,590 respectively and allow for fair division between islands. Training, enforcement, monitoring, research and habitat con- servation are all needed. Introduction Of the few parrot population surveys that have been conducted in eastern Indonesia, only one (Milton and Marhardi 1987) has investigated parrot popula- tions in the North Moluccas, within Maluku Province. Other surveys (e.g. Noerdjito 1986, LIPI1991) have concentrated on parrots in the province of Irian Jaya.
