Joktan: How come birds can mate for LIFE and we cannot?
..Some birds talk, so don't say its because they can't communicate.


Well, these two love birsd in your pic, seem to be saying something to each other.

As best feathered mates, I got to wondering what they could be saying to each other.

I mean, the female, let's assume she is the better looking one, and appropriately placed one rung below her 'man',
her beak slightly open, with a look of anticipation on her little face smitten

and he, looking ever patient and tolerant, may well be carefully formulating his response.sigh

OK. Any takers on what these two 'best mates' could possibly be discussing?devil(maybe not?)

Trying to keep this thread on track now...

Hi jl,

'love birds' only as a figure of speech. Not a species of bird.

But thanks anyway. Always a good idea to point these things out.

jlw45: ...........sorry...............i'm still bucking for that position with that wildlife photojournalist


You may just get that position too! ..for saying a "Lorikeet'...here is the scientific deffinition to end all debate ...

Kuhl's Lorikeet Vini kuhlii
Described by: Vigors (1824)
Alternate common name(s): Kuhl's Lory, Ruby Lorikeet, Rimatara Lorikeet, Scarlet-breasted Lorikeet, Ruby Lory

Identification 18 cm. Fast-flying parakeet with pointed tail. Mostly dark green above, crimson-red cheeks and underparts. Dark purple patch on nape (of young birds only). Orange-red bill. Dull orange feet. Voice Harsh screech. Hints Found in residential areas and flowering trees, usually in pairs or in small groups.

Range & population Vini kuhlii is restricted to Rimatara in the Tubuai Islands (and according to local people may have occurred on Rurutu in the past). W.Ellis contrasted Rimatara with Rurutu in the 1820 by saying that Rimatara is known to have many colourful parrots, and there is no other historic or archeological reason for believing that the lorikeet was naturalised on Rurutu12, French Polynesia, and to Teraina (= Washington), Tabuaeran (= Fanning) and Kiritimati (= Christmas Island), Kiribati. Fossil and oral traditions indicate that the species was formerly on at least five of the Southern Cook Islands1,4. On Rimatara, the population was estimated at c.905 birds (minimum) following survey work in 1992, and then at c.7507, and then at 610 individuals in 2004.

In April 2007 twenty-seven birds were re-introduced to Atiu in the Cook Islands from Rimatara. Atiu has similar vegetation to Rimatara and is free of black rat Rattus rattus, although Pacific rat R. exulans is abundant. On Teraina, the population is estimated at 1,000 individuals (minimum), with 50 on Tabuaeran, possibly fewer, on a single islet in the atoll5. On Kiritimati in 1999, a few individuals were reported to survive6.

You are most welcome.

Joktan said "Lorikeet'...here is the scientific deffinition to end all debate ...

Another species here are 'rainbow lorikeets', which I mentioned I think elsewhere in this thread.

Every morning, it's party time outside on my front garden, as they all congregate high up on the branches of the hugely tall River Red Gum, with red flowering gum nuts, full of nectar that they love.

Their colours are stunning. Just gorgeous to look at, unfortunately they perch themselves so high up, I sometimes can hardly see them. I really must buy myself binoculars one of these days, maybe I can try taking some pics using the zoom element, or even a dvd using my new handy cam.

Hmm, now that's an idea.

Kind of yes ..I know there were parrots native to North America from of all things do to the finding of ancient carved pipe bowls of our indigenous Native Americans found right here in Wisconsin.(The local natives made picture carvings of there world long ago) These works are carved from the local stone of this area,as a matter of fact I was looking at these very relics described by science only yesterday in an online article I stummbled accross. In this article they were debating if the bowls were a species of tucan or parrot.I will see if I can find the link for you if your interested.(it doesn't mean were engaged or anything if I do)
