    Cape Parrot Big Birding Day Report

    16th Annual Parrot Count- Report on the 2013 Cape Parrot Big Birding Day. Colleen T. Downs* and Lorinda Hart School of Life Sciences, University of KwaZulu-Natal, P/Bag X01, Scottsville, 3209, South Africa. Email: [email protected] *Cape Parrot Working Group Chairperson. “Cape Parrots rock!!”- EW 10 year old observer 2013 Quote from datasheet Forests are one of the most important and biologically diverse ecosystems. However, worldwide continued land conversion and transformation is posing a serious threat to their survival. In South Africa the forest biome is the smallest. As these forests are patchily distributed, conservation of them is difficult to implement. Many were extensively logged in the past. Generally the conservation of large fragments in the afromontane mistbelt forests is highlighted, but conserving smaller fragments is important in terms of maintaining landscape processes. For many remaining forest patches where forest fragmentation is prevalent, the matrix habitat has also been transformed from grasslands to commercial plantations. Such changes have important implications for forest fragment connectivity and ecological processes. The Cape Parrot, Poicephalus robustus, (Fig. 1) is the only parrot species endemic to South Africa and is one of its endangered birds with less than 1600 in the wild. Factors contributing to the parrots decline vary in their effects at different locations and include: the loss or change in the quality of their preferred forest habitat; food and nest-site shortages; illegal poaching for the pet trade; disease (especially Psittacine Beak and Feather Virus); avian predators; and accelerated climate change. Previously the Cape Parrot, a forest specialist, had a more extensive distribution, but it is now mainly restricted to patches in a mosaic of afromontane southern mistbelt forests from Hogsback in the Eastern Cape through to the Balgowan and Karkloof areas of KwaZulu-Natal; with a disjunct population in the Magoeboeskloof region of Limpopo Province (Fig.

In the trunk of the study area, Hijaz Asir highlands rises up to about 3,000 meters in the south near Abha, while at northern boundary of the area near Taif, the elevation is about 1,500 meters (refer to Figure B.1-6 and Figure B.1-7). There is a distinct coastal plain, locally known as Tihama, separated from the hills by an imposing scarp wall that runs parallel to the Red Sea along 700 km in the study area. Toward the east forms the peak of Hijaz Asir highlands, hills peter out further east to the interior, and give way to an extensive plateau covered with lava flow (Harrat) of the area, and very thin veneer rock debris and alluvium over a basalt and crystalline basement, which is frequency outcrop as knolls and low hills.

  • Management and Breeding of Birds of Paradise (Family Paradisaeidae) at the Al Wabra Wildlife Preservation

    Management and Breeding of Birds of Paradise (Family Paradisaeidae) at the Al Wabra Wildlife Preservation

    Management and breeding of Birds of Paradise (family Paradisaeidae) at the Al Wabra Wildlife Preservation. By Richard Switzer Bird Curator, Al Wabra Wildlife Preservation. Presentation for Aviary Congress Singapore, November 2008 Introduction to Birds of Paradise in the Wild Taxonomy The family Paradisaeidae is in the order Passeriformes. In the past decade since the publication of Frith and Beehler (1998), the taxonomy of the family Paradisaeidae has been re-evaluated considerably. Frith and Beehler (1998) listed 42 species in 17 genera. However, the monotypic genus Macgregoria (MacGregor’s Bird of Paradise) has been re-classified in the family Meliphagidae (Honeyeaters). Similarly, 3 species in 2 genera (Cnemophilus and Loboparadisea) – formerly described as the “Wide-gaped Birds of Paradise” – have been re-classified as members of the family Melanocharitidae (Berrypeckers and Longbills) (Cracraft and Feinstein 2000). Additionally the two genera of Sicklebills (Epimachus and Drepanornis) are now considered to be combined as the one genus Epimachus. These changes reduce the total number of genera in the family Paradisaeidae to 13. However, despite the elimination of the 4 species mentioned above, 3 species have been newly described – Berlepsch's Parotia (P. berlepschi), Eastern or Helen’s Parotia (P. helenae) and the Eastern or Growling Riflebird (P. intercedens). The Berlepsch’s Parotia was once considered to be a subspecies of the Carola's Parotia. It was previously known only from four female specimens, discovered in 1985. It was rediscovered during a Conservation International expedition in 2005 and was photographed for the first time. The Eastern Parotia, also known as Helena's Parotia, is sometimes considered to be a subspecies of Lawes's Parotia, but differs in the male’s frontal crest and the female's dorsal plumage colours.

Downs*, Centre for Functional Biodiversity, School of Life Sciences, University of KwaZulu-Natal, P/Bag X01, Scottsville, 3209, South Africa. Email: [email protected] *Cape Parrot Working Group Chairperson Figure 1. A pair of Cape Parrots in a snag near iNgeli, KwaZulu-Natal, on the day of the annual count in 2021 (Photographs© Sascha Dueker). Background The annual Cape Parrot Big Birding Day (CPBBD) was initiated in 1998 and held annually since. This is a conservation effort to quantify the numbers of Cape Parrot (Poicephalus robustus) (Figure 1) in the wild and involves citizen scientists. In the first few years, the coverage of the distribution range of the parrots was inadequate but improved with time. In 2020 unfortunately, because of the COVID-19 restrictions, a total count was not possible. One of the problems with a national count is choosing a day with suitable weather across the area to be covered by the count. Unfortunately, in 2021 a major cold front brought rain and wind to the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal Provinces on the CPBBD, making observations difficult. So although a total count 1 was conducted, it is likely an underestimate. In addition, despite reduced COVID-19 restrictions (Figure 2), some of the older stalwarts of CPBBD were unable to participate because of the slow vaccination rollout, so as in earlier days of CPPBD, the distribution range was not covered adequately. Figure 2. Following COVID-19 protocols, some of the University of KwaZulu-Natal participants in the annual count in 2021 who counted Cape Parrots in the iNgeli area near Kokstad, KwaZulu- Natal.

    BOLIVIA: THE ANDES AND CHACO LOWLANDS TRIP REPORT OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2017 By Eduardo Ormaeche Blue-throated Macaw www.birdingecotours.com [email protected] 2 | T R I P R E P O R T Bolivia, October/November 2017 Bolivia is probably one of the most exciting countries of South America, although one of the less-visited countries by birders due to the remoteness of some birding sites. But with a good birding itinerary and adequate ground logistics it is easy to enjoy the birding and admire the outstanding scenery of this wild country. During our 19-day itinerary we managed to record a list of 505 species, including most of the country and regional endemics expected for this tour. With a list of 22 species of parrots, this is one of the best countries in South America for Psittacidae with species like Blue-throated Macaw and Red-fronted Macaw, both Bolivian endemics. Other interesting species included the flightless Titicaca Grebe, Bolivian Blackbird, Bolivian Earthcreeper, Unicolored Thrush, Red-legged Seriema, Red-faced Guan, Dot-fronted Woodpecker, Olive-crowned Crescentchest, Black-hooded Sunbeam, Giant Hummingbird, White-eared Solitaire, Striated Antthrush, Toco Toucan, Greater Rhea, Brown Tinamou, and Cochabamba Mountain Finch, to name just a few. We started our birding holiday as soon as we arrived at the Viru Viru International Airport in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, birding the grassland habitats around the terminal. Despite the time of the day the airport grasslands provided us with an excellent introduction to Bolivian birds, including Red-winged Tinamou, White-bellied Nothura, Campo Flicker, Chopi Blackbird, Chotoy Spinetail, White Woodpecker, and even Greater Rhea, all during our first afternoon.
