I recently heard from Chris Kirkby, the Managing Director and Principal Investigator at Asociacion Fauna Forever , a Peruvian not-for-profit organisation based in Lima and Puerto Maldonado, about a series of bird-banding workshops being held this June and November in the rainforests of Tambopata in south-eastern Peru.
Published in 1965, with the latest revised copy issued in 2001, the Golden Guide inspired many birders and is still cited in some circles for its pioneering sonograms and beautiful artwork. There are many strands that make up the scientific investigations into the question, “Where do the birds go?”
On the contrary, the birds were quite satisfied with their new-found freedom and realms, and started breeding immediately after their escape in the spring of 2001, much to everyone’s surprise. Their ecology in Germany is being investigated, but the results have so far been inconclusive. Turns out, it wasn’t.
Perhaps that will be the subject of a future post in this space. __ 1 Fransson, et al, 2001. Bird migration: Magnetic cues trigger extensive refuelling.
One of these clades holds a diversity of Old World species in several distinct groups, including an Australasian clade, the green-pigeons, the emerald- and wood-doves, the imperial-pigeons and fruit-doves (favorites of mine), and the subjects of our investigation today, the 15 known members of the Raphini.
A few dead birds were collected by authorities and sent to a laboratory for investigation. The first detection outside Africa occurred in Vienna/Austria between 2001 and 2006. The Usutu Virus has spread considerably in central Europe over the last 10 years.
Often, as I have been investigating the contents of a nest by making a small hole in the side, the parent birds have come right to the nest, where they immediately begin to repair the damage even before my departure!”. Even during the breeding season the birds appear to be quite unwary of humans.
