• W2611375215 abstract "P arrots of Philippines include several species kept in aviculture including Philippine Cockatoo Cacatua baematuropygia (Red-vented), Blue-naped Parrot Tanygnatbus Iucionensis, Great-billed Parrot Tanygnathus megalorbyncbos, and perhaps Mindanao Lorikeet Tricboglossus jobnstoniae which is very seldom seen in captivity. There are a number of racket-tailed parrots (Prionuuris sp.) and Philippine Hanging Parakeet Loriculis philippensis which are not in aviculture as far as I know. And how many of you have even heard of beautiful little parrot called Guaiabero Bolbopsittacus lunulatusr; can't even pronounce name. Philippine doves and pigeons are represented in aviculture too. The two most commonly seen are Luzon Bleeding-heart Pigeon Gallicolurnba luzonica (see article on page 32) and Nicobar Pigeon Caloenis nicobarica There are a number of turtle doves, and over 20 exceedingly beautiful species of fruit doves, very few of which are kept in aviculture. Among my favorite Philippine birds in aviculture are two commoners - Button Quail (also called Painted Quail) Coturnix cbinensis (see article on page 21), and daddy of all chickens, Red jungle Fowl Gallus gallus gallus. Another of ground birds is subtly beautiful Palawan Peacock Pheasant Polyplectron empbanum. The oddity of this Asian species being in Philippines lies in strange way Asian land masses and Australian continent gradually moved together over ions. The pheasants are Asian birds while Philippine Islands are part of island arcs that were pushed toward Asia by Australia as it moved north. Of course this happened about 30 million years ago and I don't remember it clearly. But Palawan was caught in middle. It is really a piece of Asia but is so close to other Philippine islands that it has some flora and fauna belonging to both land masses. There are no pheasants on any other Philippine island. One of Philippine's high-profile birds is Philippine Eagle Pubecopbaga je.ffeiyi (also called Philippine Monkey-eating Eagle). Indeed, it is national bird. It is not for ordinary backyard aviary but it is being kept in captivity by Philippine Eagle Foundation on island of Mindanao. Highly dedicated experts are trying frantically to save species from extinction. So far, there have been just two chicks hatch at Foundation (the world's first breeding) hut there is great hope. Indeed, first chick hatched was named Pag-asa - Hope. In wild, there are an estimated 112 pairs - few enough to consider species critically endangered. Like California Condor, Philippine Eagle's only hope may lie in aviculture. I am at home in Southeast Asia. I like heat, humidity, flora, fauna, and especially people. But my favorite region of Southeast Asia is Philippines. It is extraordinary Recent oil exploration in Philippines has given scientists a better understanding of origins of 7107 islands that make up nation (the number changes with tide - al high tide some of them disappear). During ice ages when seas were much lower than now, many of now distinct islands were connected by dry land. These ancient large islands each developed its own flora and fauna and generally remained distinct and separate from other mega-islands. Later, when ice melted and seas rose, lowlands were inundated leaving a lot of disconnected smaller islands. Until this principle was understood, explorers and biologists were perplexed at how unique fauna! regions (natural units of biodiversity) could be so close to one another yet so different in their plants and animals. IL has been said that Philippines are the Galapagos Islands times ten. There are about six types of habitat in Philippines with popular image of lowland rain forest being most common - used to be, that is. Now original lowland rain forests are mostly gone, chopped for timber As elevations rise, habitats change until one reaches mountain tops like ML. lsarog where annual average rainfall is 36 feet. That is 420 inches of rain, dear friend, ten time more than falls on wet Portland Oregon. The great danger now is rampant cutting of forests. At one time 95% of Philippines was covered with rain forest. Now number is seven percent. But there are valiant efforts to reverse trend. And there are many encouraging stories. WiLh rain forest lies fate of Filipino people, and of birds and animals so many of us love. Fortunately, there is still Pag-asa - hope." @default.
