Lyrebird imitating sounds smart.

Parrot is a bird that is often considered to be able to talk to imitate the human voice. But make no mistake, actually there is one bird that is not less talkative, namely Lyrebird. Lyrebird is Australian bird species that come from families Menuridae. Lyrebird birds are very famous for its ability to mimic different types of sounds that exist in natural or man-made.

When entering the mating period in June through August, Lyrebird can 'sing' to 4 hours more. Uniquely, the singing of the Lyrebird is a combination of at least seven types of sounds. Some sounds are often imitated by Lyrebird is sound koala, coyotes. In fact, as a result of the movement of human settlement began to approach habitat Lyrebird, now the birds can imitate the sound of chainsaws, cars, sirens firemen, rifle, camera shutter, man, until the baby crying!

Lyrebird great ability it also continues to grow and spread when the Lyrebird listening sounds strange combination of Lyrebird and other bird species. "This bird (Lyrebird) capable of imitating the sound of up to 20 more species of other birds," said one biologist, David Attenborough.

Until now Lyrebird is still categorized as endangered despite its population continues to decline. Bird endemic to Australia are often hunted by humans in addition to the ability to voice impersonator also because of the beautiful tail feathers.

At first glance, Lyrebird adult males look like a peacock with beautiful tail. The difference, color Lyrebird is dominated by brown, black, gray, and white.

Lyrebird birds can Imitate Any Type Sound.

Australian native birds, Lyrebird, can be regarded as the star of all kinds of birds. Because the bird is able to imitate about 20 kinds of sounds of other birds. Not only the sound of birds, it turns out he is also able to mimic sounds such as camera shots, car alarms and even chainsaws.

Lyrebird unique voice apparently also exploited to find a partner. But not all birds Lyrebird can do that, because only the male sex. Being that females are not so fond of imitating other voices.

Lyrebird males really like to show off his skill mimics some sounds, especially during mating season to attract females. As I began to "sing" the voices of copies, will Lyrebird tail feathers spread along 71 cm. The more types of sound that imitated Lyrebird males, increasingly attracted the attention of the females.

There is no clear scientific answer why some birds such as Lyrebird can imitate the sound. Ministry of Science Museum Birds Australia, Jaynia Sladek, said that it is part of the language of birds. "These birds showed that they were very great because it can mimic other voices," said Jaynia.

Because of the appeal of these birds, so many photographers who want to take her picture. Camera sounds produced from these photographers also finally imitated by Lyrebird. Its uniqueness does not stop there, he will never forget the sound that has been imitated so as to enrich the diversity of sounds of human activity. Thank you for reading this article.

There are at least nine types of tarsiers in the world. 2 types are in the Philippines while the rest, 7 of them are found in Sulawesi, Indonesia. The most well known is that there are two types in Indonesia, Tarsier tarsier (Ghosts Animals / Monkey Ghosts) and Tarsius pumilus (pygmy tarsier, a small krabuku or Pygmy tarsier). All these types of tarsiers including rare and protected animals in Indonesia.

The most important prey are insects such as cockroaches, crickets. But sometimes protected wildlife in Indonesia is also prey on small reptiles, birds, and bats.

Habitat is in the forests of North Sulawesi to South Sulawesi, also on the islands around Sulawesi as Suwu, Selayar, Siau, Sangihe and Peleng.

Did you know Bird Maleo Anti Polygamy.

Maleo birds in Macrocephalon maleo scientific name is a kind of a medium-sized bird, with a length of about 55cm. Maleo bird is a species endemic to Sulawesi, meaning can only be found living and growing on the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia. In addition to rare, this bird is unique because it turns anti-polygamy.

Aside from being a species endemic bird Maleo (Macrocephalon maleo) that started this rare and protected birds is also unique. Its uniqueness from the body structure, habitat, to the behavior that one is anti-polygamy. So not surprisingly, since 1990 by decree. No. Kep. 188.44 / 1067 / RO / BKLH dated 24 February 1990, Bird Maleo designated as "Animal Mascot" Central Sulawesi province.

Maleo birds (Macrocephalon maleo) has black fur, the skin around the eyes are yellow, red-brown iris, legs gray, orange beak and feather down side red-light whitish. The top of his head there is a horn or loud-crested black. Male and female alike. Normally females are smaller and darker colored than the males.

Most of its population lives in Central Sulawesi. One is in the nature reserve Saluki, Donggala, Central Sulawesi. In the region of Lore Lindu National Park, the population is estimated to live 320 birds. Because the population is growing slightly, unique and rare birds are protected from extinction. Maleo categorized as endangered on the IUCN Red List. It is listed in CITES Appendix I.

Maleo population threatened by egg thieves and the clearing that threatens their habitat. Not to mention the natural enemies that prey on eggs Maleo, the wild boar and lizards. Typical habitats are also accelerating extinction. Maleo can only live near the hot sandy beach or in the mountains that has hot springs or geothermal certain conditions. Because in areas with geothermal resources, the Maleo bury their eggs in the sand.

Maleo bird uniqueness.

Some uniqueness of Bird Maleo (Macrocephalon maleo), among others:
A bulge in the head; Maleo has a bulge (horn or loud crested black) on the head. While still a child and adolescent, the bulge in this head has not yet appeared, but by the time adulthood bulge even this began to appear. Suspected bulge is used to detect geothermal appropriate to incubate the eggs (Although this still requires scientific proof).
Do not like to fly. Despite having wings with feathers are quite long, but prefer to walk rather than fly.
Habitat near geothermal sources. Maleo can only live near the hot sandy beach or in the mountains that has hot springs or geothermal certain conditions. Because in areas with geothermal resources, the Maleo bury their eggs in the sand.

Maleo has a large egg size, up to 5 times larger than chicken eggs. It weighs between 240 to 270 grams. per egg.
Maleo not incubating eggs. This endemic bird eggs buried about 50 cm deep in the sand near the hot springs or geothermal certain conditions. Eggs are deposited was later abandoned and never taken care of again. Temperature or the temperature of the land necessary to incubate the eggs maleo ranged from 32-35 degrees celsius. Any long incubation takes about 62-85 days.
Maleo child struggles. Maleo children who have successfully hatched have to fend for themselves out of the ground as deep as approximately 50cm (some even reaching 1 m) without the help of the mother. The struggle to reach the surface of the ground will take time for approximately 48 hours. Even this will depend on the type of soil. So that not infrequently encountered several children maleo dead "middle of the road".
Independent child. Children who have just reached the ground already has the ability to fly and feed itself (without the care of the mother).
Monogamy. Maleo is monogamous species (anti-polygamy) that are believed loyal to her partner. Throughout his life, he has only one pair. This bird will not spawn again after his partner died.

Conservation status Maleo.

Unfortunately even today, the unique endemic species is increasingly rare. By IUCN, Maleo birds into the category of "endangered". CITES also included Central Sulawesi's unique animals in the category of Appendix I.

This unique fauna scarcity, among others, due to the urgency of its habitat, especially those outside the conservation area, Maleo egg poaching by humans as well as the threat of predators, among others: Lizard (Varanus sp), Wild Boar (Sus sp), and the Eagles.

Fortunately Forest Service Through Lore Lindu National Park Authority managed to make captive, in collaboration with local communities. At the very least is capable little effort to minimize the danger of extinction that threatens bird's anti-polygamy. Thank you for reading this article.

Cassowary Most Dangerous.

Cassowary is a bird countrymen have a very large body size and unable to fly. Cassowary which is a protected animal in Indonesia and also the identity of the province of West Papua fauna consists of three types (species). The third species is the Cassowary Cassowary wattle Single (Casuarius unappendiculatus), Cassowary wattle Double (Casuarius casuarius), and Little Cassowary (Casuarius Benetti).

Cassowary is a big beautiful bird charming. But behind the beauty of the Cassowary have an aggressive nature and tend to be grumpy when disturbed. Casuarius bergrnus bird is very fierce and angry and did not hesitate to pursue the 'victims' or the intruder. Hence in the garden of beast, Cassowary not allowed to roam free. In fact it is said, The Guinness Book of Records as the birds enter the Cassowary the most dangerous in the world. Although for the record I have not been able to verify to the website of The Guinness Book of Records.

Cassowary is an endemic bird that lives only on the island of Papua and its surroundings, except Cassowary wattle Double (Casuarius casuarius) which can also be found in the northeastern part of the Australian continent. In English, wattle Cassowary Double (Casuarius casuarius) called (Southern Cassowary), wattle Single Cassowary (Casuarius unappendiculatus) called (Northern Cassowary) and dwarf cassowary (Casuarius Benetti) referred to as (Dwarf Cassowary).

The characteristics and Behavior. Cassowary have body sizes are very large, except Little Cassowary (Casuarius Benetti) the size of the body is smaller. Cassowary bird can not fly. Adult cassowary has reached 170 cm tall, and has black fur that is hard and stiff.

The cassowary has a horn on its head high brown. Females are similar to males, and usually larger and more dominant.

Cassowary very long legs and strong. The legs became the main weapon of rare and protected birds. Cassowary capable of kicking leg and knock down his enemies, including humans, only with a single kick. Perhaps because of the kick, and aggressiveness is not an exaggeration if then The Guinness Book of Records bestowed on him as the most dangerous bird in the world.

At Cassowary there are two double wattle red wattle on the neck with the neck skin blue. While at Cassowary wattle Single (Casuarius unappendiculatus), as the name implies has only one wattle.

Cassowary which include protected animals from extinction is eating fruits that fall from the tree. Cassowary used to living alone, and in pairs only during the mating season only. Cassowary chicks incubated by the male.

Although the cassowary has a great body, but apparently not much is known about this endemic birds of Papua. Especially for species of wattle Single cassowary (Casuarius unappendiculatus) and the dwarf cassowary (Casuarius Benetti).

Habitat and Deployment. Single wattle Cassowary (Casuarius unappendiculatus) and the dwarf cassowary (Casuarius Benetti) is a species endemic to the island of Papua (Indonesia and Papua New Guinea), whereas the double wattle Cassowary (Casuarius casuarius) apart on the island of Papua, also located on the island of Seram (Moluccas, Indonesia) and the Australian northeast. Cassowary has a habitat in the lowland forest area included in a swamp.

Population and Conservation. Cassowary bird populations is not known with certainty but is believed to be from day to day has decreased. Therefore IUCN Redlist enter wattle Dual Cassowary (Casuarius casuarius) and wattle Single cassowary (Casuarius unappendiculatus) in the conservation status of Vulnerable (Vulnerable) since 1994. Medium Little Cassowary (Casuarius Benetti) given conservation status Near Threatened (Near Threatened). Cassowary is the threat of extinction because of hunting both for meat, feathers or eggs.

Eagles get to know Java.

Javanese eagle has a Latin name Nisaetus bartelsi, which is one of the species of eagle that has a medium body size that lives in Java. Javanese eagle is often considered synonymous as a symbol of our country, the Republic of Indonesia, namely Garuda bird. And since 1992, the Eagle Java has been set as the mascot of endangered species in Indonesia.

Characteristics of Java Eagle.

Eagles characteristics of Java is very easy to look at, where Java has a body Eagles medium to large, slim, and the body length reaches the range of 60 to 70 cm (from tip of beak to tip of tail).

Javanese eagles have reddish brown head (Kadru), and with a high crest prominent (2-4 bristles, length up to 12 cm) and cervical fawn (sometimes visible gold when exposed to sunlight). Crested black with white tip; crown and mustache black, but dark brown back and wings. Whitish throat with a line (actually lines) longitudinal black in it. On the chest chest area, there are black graffiti spread over pale brownish yellow color, which in turn at the bottom again turned into a line pattern (scribble) meeting transverse brown to brownish red color above pale whitish belly feathers and feet. Feathers on the legs closed legs up close to the base of the finger Javanese eagle. Tail dark brown with four lines and the transverse width visible on the bottom side, and white striped tail end is not thick. Females of the same color, a little bigger.

Iris owned Javanese eagle yellow or brownish; half-black; sera or meat at the base of the beak yellowish; foot (finger) yellowish. Young Javanese eagles with head, neck and lower body Javanese eagle light cinnamon brown, without streaks or lines.

When flying, eagle same Java with changeable hawk-eagle (nisaetus cirrhatus) form of light, but inclined to look more brownish, with stomach seemed darker, and the size is a little smaller.

Java Eagle chirp sound very loud, repetitive, or ii klii-iiw-iiiw, vary in one to three syllables. Or a high-pitched sound and rapid kli-kli-kli-kli-kli. And to some extent, is similar to the tone of her voice changeable hawk-eagle although the difference is quite clear in his tone.

Deployment, Habitat and Conservation Javanese eagle.

Distribution of Javanese eagles is only limited on the island of Java, from the west end (Ujung Kulon National Park) to the eastern tip of the peninsula Blambangan purwo. But so is currently limited distribution in areas with primary forest and wooded hills where exactly on the transition to the low-lying mountain areas. Most of the Javanese eagle can be found in at least half of the hemisphere south of the island of Java. Presumably this eagle bird life cycle specializes in location.

Javanese eagles like tropical rain forest ecosystem is always green, in the lowlands or in places higher. Starting from the location near the beach like in the west end and Meru Betiri, up to the mountain forests under and above up to an altitude of 2 200 m and sometimes 3. 000 meters above sea level.

Living area typically Javanese eagle difficult to achieve, although not always far from human activities. Presumably this bird is highly dependent on the presence of primary forest as an area of ​​his life. Although the eagle was found that utilize secondary forests as hunting and nesting area, however it is located adjacent to the vast primary forest.

The hunting of birds of prey perch area in tall trees in the forest. With a swift and agile ambush prey variety in a tree branch or on the ground that, like various types of reptiles, birds such as walik, pigeon, and even more chicken. Also the small to medium sized mammals like squirrels and squirrels, bats, raccoons, until the child monkey.

Spawning period was recorded starting in January until June. Nest-shaped pile of leafy twigs arranged high, made on a tree branch high above the ground 20-30. Eggs amounted to one point, which is incubated along approximately 47 days.

Eagles nest tree where Java is some kind of tall forest trees, like Rasamala (Latin name: Altingia excelsa), pairs (Latin name: Lithocarpus sundaicus), pine (Latin name: pine merkusii), puspa (Latin name: Schima wallichii), and ki sireum (Latin name: eugenia clavimyrtus). Not always by far is in the forest, there is also the nests are found only within 200-300 m from the recreation area.

The habitat, distribution of Java Eagles are extremely rare. Although spacious the habitat, the overall number only 137-188 pairs kuran more birds, or according to the estimated number of individuals Eagles range of about 600 to 1,000 animals. This small population facing a huge threat to the survival of sustainability, which is caused by loss of habitat as well as the type of exploitation. Illegal logging and forest conversion so make agriculture a reduction in primary forest cover in Java. In addition, the existence of Java Eagle also continue to be hunted by humans to be traded on the black market to be made in the pet. Due to its rarity, this bird preserve so as pride, and in turn make the price of this Javanese eagles soar.

Taking into account the size of the population, the location of its habitat is limited and high pressure encountered it, the IUCN World Conservation Organization enter into in the Javanese eagle en status (endangered, threatened with extinction). Thus also, the Indonesian government set as animals are protected by law.

Taxonomic or classification Javanese eagle.

Actually existence has been known since the Javanese eagle ago around 1820, when van hasselt and Kuhl collected two specimens of this bird on the location of the mountain bark to be brought to the museum leiden, Netherlands. However at that point until the end of the 19th century, this bird specimens still calculated as a type of hawk eagle.

But new in 1908, on the basis of the specimen collection Max Bartels made from sand flat, in Sukabumi in 1907, a bird expert at the German country, o. Finsch, recognizing Javanese eagle as a kind of new taxon. He believed it was a child of Spizaetus kelaarti type, a type of falcon in sri lanka. Until then in 1924, prof. Stresemann give the name of the new taxon with bartelsi Specific epithet, as an effort to honor Max Bartels above, as well include it as a child type Spizaetus nipalensis mountain eagle.

This bird is then recognized by the world scientific name is Spizaetus Nipalensis bartelsi, until later in 1953 D. Amadon had proposed to raise the ranking of Javanese eagles and put him to type in a stand-alone, ie Spizaetus bartelsi.
