Status: Extant, Endangered - Least Concern

Time and Place: Within the last 10,000 years, in the Holocene of the Quaternary

The Hanging Parrots are known entirely from Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands

Physical Description: The Hanging Parrots are small, green parrots, ranging from 10 to 15 centimeters in length - essentially the same size as their close relatives, the Lovebirds. As parrots, they have small bodies, short tails, feet with two toes pointing forward and two backward, big heads, and strongly curved beaks. Also, as parrots, they are very intelligent and social creatures. These birds are green in general, with a variety of different patches of color on their heads, wings, and tails to distinguish them and look fancy for other hanging parrots. These colors are usually reds, oranges, and yellows; though at least a few have blue patches as well. These birds are usually sexually dimorphic, with the females having fewer patches of bright color than the males.

Diet: Flowers, fruits, nectar, and seeds from a variety of tropical trees.

Behavior: These birds are notable from the fact that they hang down in trees and from other high surfaces, often upside down, to reach sources of food in the trees. They are also unique amongst parrots in not only foraging upside down, but also sleeping upside down - they’ll hang, more passively, from branches in order to sleep. This gives them a rather fruity look themselves - like they’re ripe for the harvest, and it’s perfectly adorable. These parrots range from being very social - living in large flocks - to being almost solitary, only ever foraging in pairs during the breeding season and alone during the off season. Very few of these birds will ever go back to the ground, but rather spend all of their time in trees.

These birds make a wide variety of calls, such as tzeet-tzeet-tzeet, squeaky warbles, and twitters. Overall, however, they’re not quite as vocal as other kinds of parrot. Though no species undertakes large-scale migrations, they are somewhat nomadic, moving from tree to tree in search of food, and sometimes going up and down mountains based on food availability.

The Hanging Parrots generally begin breeding all throughout the year, based on the species - some will start their breeding season in September, others in January, and so on. It really depend son the parrot. They’ll place their nests in holes of bamboo and in tree trunks, anywhere they can keep it relatively high off of the ground. They usually lay only two eggs per breeding season, though at least a few species will lay up to three. They incubate the eggs for about three weeks, and the nestlings stay in the nest for five weeks.

Ecosystem: The Hanging Parrots live in tropical rainforest, throughout the forest itself - some species will be found in denser forests, others in the secondary growth, others at the edge, as well as in peatswamps, near rivers, in patches of bamboo, and mangrove forests. They usually live at lower elevations, though some will migrate to higher parts of the mountains in search of food. They rarely come down from the trees, and spend most of their time at least a few meters off of the ground. Some are also found in tropical dry forests.

Other: These birds are mostly conservationally doing alright, except for some endangerment due to habitat loss. As rainforests and other tropical forests fragment, the Hanging Parrots lose range and ability to contact other parrots, making their populations more vulnerable. Still, only a few species have shown a marked decline in population. At least one parrot, the Camiguin Hanging-Parrot, is rarely ever found. These birds are not good pet parrots, given a wide number of requirements in captivity; however, they are still subject to the illegal pet trade, much to the chagrin of their vulnerable populations.

Species Differences: The Moluccan Hanging-Parrot has a bright red cap on its head and a bright red tail; it mainly lives on the island of Maluku. The Orange-Fronted Hanging Parrot has the same patterns as the Moluccan Hanging Parrot, except it is orange instead of red; it starts breeding in September, and lives in New Guinea. The Sri Lankan Hanging Parrot has an orange top of the head, brown back, and a blue patch on the throat; it begins breeding in January, and lives mainly in Sri Lanka. The Sangihe Hanging Parrot looks very similar to the Moluccan Hanging Parrot, but instead lives in Sulawesi and is a more yellowish green. The Camiguin hanging Parrot is a lighter green, with a light blue patch on its face; it breeds in September, and is known only from the island of Camiguin. The Pygmy Hanging Parrot is the smallest of them all, and only has a red patch on its neck; they breed in February, and live in Sulawesi.

The Flores Hanging Parrot has red patches on its back, and lives in Java. The Blue-Crowned Hanging Parrot has a distinctive blue patch on its head; it starts breeding in January, and lives throughout Indonesia and Southeast Asia. The Philippine Hanging Parrot has green and yellow orange patches all over, lives in the Philippines, and breeds in March or September. The Yellow-Throated Hanging Parrot has a bright yellow patch on its throat, breeds in April, and lives in Java. The Sula Hanging Parrot has an orange back and lives in Sulawesi. The Sulawesi Hanging Parrot is a lighter green with a brown back, and a red head patch; it breeds in January and April, and lives in Sulawesi. The Bismark Hanging Parrot is a more yellow green with a small red patch on its throat, and lives on the island of New Britain. Finally, the Vernal Hanging Parrot has a light blue throat patch, breeds in January, and lives throughout Southeast Asia and in some patches of the Indian Subcontinent.

Here is Albert Balbutin Sr., Ernie Balbutin, and Delphin Balbutin, left to right. Their vibrant and classy suits, as Mina Roces put it, “transformed them from lower-class agricultural laborer or Alaskan cannery worker to fashionable dandy and temporarily erased the stigma of manual labor.” After the US colonized the Philippines at the turn of the 20th century, around 150,000 Filipinos, mostly men, immigrated to the US for work. Around the same time, 122 million board feet of Philippine lumber and timber was exported from the Philippines to the US and other countries. Forests in the Philippines dwindled from 70% forest cover at the start of US colonization, to almost half forest cover by 1932. Illustrated in the graphic are the remaining birds living in Camiguin, some endemic or only found there. Many known for their beautiful plumage.

Mts. Timpoong-Hibok Hibok mark 16th year as protected area

#PHinfo: Mts. Timpoong-Hibok Hibok mark 16th year as protected area

CAMIGUIN, Mar. 14 (PIA)--Commemorating a historic event in the island, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) celebrated Mts. Timpoong-Hibok Hibok Natural Monument’s (MTHNM) 16th anniversary as protected area, March 12, Sitio Itum, Baylao, Mambajao.

During the event, DENR distributed awards, certificates, and plaques to Protected Area Management Board (PAMB), People’s Organization (PO), and to Guard Volunteers (GV).

Succeedingly, they launched the MTHNM coffee table book where photos of local natural resources be displayed.

As part of the program, the captured birds from the rescue center namely Brahminy Kite, Writhed Hornbill, and Camiguin Hanging Parrots were released in the area.

MTHNM is included in ASEAN Heritage Park which makes it a pride in the island. It has high level of endemism of both flora and fauna and is the source of water for domestic and agricultural uses in the island. (Marc Ian A. Salem/PIA10)

Camiguin Travel Guide: White Beach, Falls And Amazing Facts about the Island

Out of Town Blog Camiguin Travel Guide: White Beach, Falls And Amazing Facts about the Island

Camiguin Travel Guide: Water, Churches And Volcanoes

Do blue crystal water call to you? How about rich history and other natural bodies of water and land? If all these seem like something you would enjoy along with good seafood and other adventures then head to Camiguin now because aside from its natural attractions you can visit, Camiguin is also home to Lanzones Festival, a week-long festival held in the province yearly, heritage houses and churches.

Camiguin Travel Guide

When To Visit

Camiguin has perfect weather all year round with most typhoons that ravage the North during wet season skipping it, luckily.

Their much celebrated Lanzones Festival happens in October and most locals would advise you to come during these times although you can visit any time of the year.

How To Get There

You can either fly from Manila going to Cebu and fly to Camiguin or fly to Cagayan de Oro or Butuan, ride a bus going to Balingoan then a ferry to the island.

Cebu Pacific Camiguin Flights

If you’re coming from Bohol, you can take Super Lite Ferries which has daily trips from Jagna going to CDO then take a boat going to Camiguin.

You can go around the island by hiring a multi cab which can be found throughout for a hefty price of php1,800.00-2,000.00 so go with a group to save some money. There are also motorellas which are the most common transportation in the island.

Places To Visit

White Island

You should definitely make the most of your trip and if there’s one thing you absolutely shouldn’t miss, it’s White Beach. It is a bare island that’s perfect to visit in the morning through a “banca” ride when the air is cooler and the sun is a little forgiving.

Cool waters, man-made pool and Kiping, a native sweet consists of cassava and sweet syrup by the entrance; these are some of the things you will enjoy when you visit Katibawasan Falls. It is allowed to have a picnic here thus the presence of numerous rock tables. The government only charges a minimal fee to maintain the area.

Tuasan Falls

Don’t let the lack of scenic hike going to the falls deter you of this sweet destination. Although the government, in recent years have decided to construct a new road to make the falls more accessible to the public, this natural body of water is still capable of mesmerizing you.

Timpoong and Hibok-Hibok Natural Monument

This is a protected area of Camiguin and it is where most of their treasured natural resources are located like Katibawasan, Binagawan and Tuasan Falls. It is also home to Camiguin Hanging Parrot, Camiguin Hawk-Owl and Camiguin Forest Mouse and other native animals as well as wild plants.

Mantigue Island

For people who have a fascination with sea life, Mantigue island is a must-visit on your tour because the most remarkable activities to do there are diving and snorkelling but not only that, photo taking is also a must do since Camiguin Island is at the background.

Giant Clams Sanctuary

In the sanctuary, you will witness giant clams just letting the day passed by without a care in the world. For a minimal fee, you will be assisted by a tour guide who will give you some lectures about these clams. There is additional fee to witness these clams in their natural surroundings.

Ardent Hibok Hibok Hot Springs

Ardent Hot Springs in Camiguin

They say that when you plunge into a hot spring, it somehow cures your joints and the soreness you feel from excess activities. This may probably be due to the warmth of the water massaging your body. Let your body loosen up and go back to reality super recharged.

Sto. Nino Cold Spring

After a calming hot spring experience, you can now try the cold springs. Cold springs are especially for people who are getting a little bit down due to hot weather. If you’re one of those then you will be grateful there is such a thing to help you cool off! There is a canteen in the vicinity in case you get hungry. There is also a minimal entrance fee.

Mount Hibok-Hibok and Mount Vulcan

It will take roughly 3-5 hours to reach the summit of Mt. Hibok-Hibok and you need to get a permit from the DENR office in Mambajao. The views are breathtaking especially you’ve got White Island, to your north, Bohol; to your east, Eastern Mindanao and the island of Siguijor to your west. The summit also lets you see the crater of Mt. Vulcan; the parasitic cone of Mt. Hibok-Hibok.

Old Churches

Old Catarman Church Ruins

There are many old churches in Camiguin that you should visit whether or not you are religious. Three of them are Santo Rosario, built in 1882; Old Catarman Church Ruins, was devastated by the eruption of Mt. Hibok-Hibok and the rising of Mt. Vulcan, in recent years, a lighthouse was erected alongside the bell tower and Baylao Church, a mystical church said to have saved the lives of people when the last volcanic eruption of Hibok-Hibok happened.

Sunken Cemetery

Sunset at Sunken Cemetery

There’s nothing scary about this Sunken cemetery, in fact, its history is so captivating that it’ll be a crime not visit it. There are numerous souvenir shops that you can buy pasalubongs from and a “banca” ride is essential to get to the cross.

The Complete Guide To Understanding Sleeping Birds

Mitch, Have you written about "bird sleep"? I watched a eagle chick go from hatchling to fledgling and during the process, both the chick and parents seemed to sleep only periodically, preening much of the night. I recently put an night-vision camera on my 35 year old amazon's (1/2 blue-front, 1/2 panama) cage, and was surprised to see that she seems to preen much of the night as well. Is this common with all birds? Thanks, Bert S. Great question Bert Birds (and most animals) are either nocturnal or diurnal. Nocturnal Birds sleep during the day and hunt at night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9T1vfsHYiKY Diurnal birds are active during the day and perform most of their activities like nesting, feeding, and courtship during daylight hours. Diurnal birds sleep at night for the most part and begin their day at sun up. As you can see, Kakapos and Night parrots ( which were recently rediscovered) are the only “parrots” on this of nocturnal birds. Ashy storm-petrels - Barn owl - Barred owl - Boreal owl - Burrowing owl - Eastern screech-owl - Elf owl - Flammulated owl - Frogmouths - Great gray owl - Great horned owl - Kakapo - Kiwis - Little penguins - Night parrots - Night-herons - Nightjars - North Island brown kiwi - Northern saw-whet owl - Owlet-nightjars - Owls - Short-eared owl - Spotted owl - Western screech-owl - Whiskered screech-owl Most of the birds mentioned above have dull plumage colors with most females and males looking similar. Humans can sleep in a relatively unconscious state (I can personally attest to that) whereas birds actually have some control over their sleep. Birds use unihemispheric or slow-wave sleep (USWS). Much like a gangster they are able to sleep with one eye open but unlike a gangster they allow only half the brain to rest. The reasons that most gangsters get caught is because the other half of the brain is asleep whereas a bird’s brain is alert and can react to danger while the other half a brain, rests. There's not been much research done on bird sleep so it’s considered accurate to assume that the safer a bird feels while sleeping, the deeper the sleep. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEVpJK7pEPE If a bird feels it may be in danger it sleeps much lighter. Some migrating birds like swifts, frigatebirds and albatrosses can actually sleep while in flight using USWS. As recently as the summer of 2016 researchers using small sensors strapped onto the heads of frigatebirds learned that the birds fell into a mix of USWS and REM (rapid eye movement) deep sleep, in flight. The birds actually slept for several minutes each hour and sometimes they would shut down one hemisphere and other times they would shut down both brain hemispheres. Even with all of these sleep tricks that nature programmed into them the frigatebirds were found to have slept something like 42 minutes every 24 hours during the migration. Making them highly sleep deprived for the duration of their long flight. Birds will protect potentially valuable body parts by burrowing them into their feathers. Most birds can use feathers to create air pockets that insulate enabling more warmth including that of the feet and the beak permitting less body heat to be lost. When you see a bird’s beak pressed into its feathers you can assume the bird is using that to warm air generated by its own body to heat the air it is breathing. We’ve talked a lot about the flexor tendons, allowing birds to sleep standing up. If startled a bird will straighten its legs releasing its feet from the perch without thinking, allowing it to take off instantly. (take that aircraft carriers) Unlike you and me, birds won't lose a lot of muscle tone while sleeping (although that's not true over a very long period of time). Birds can sleep on a round perch, standing, on the ground, roosting, swimming, hanging and as we've mentioned, flying. Which parrots sleep upside down you ask? Bismarck hanging parrots - Black-billed hanging parrots - Blue-crowned hanging parrots - Camiguin hanging parrots - Cebu hanging parrots - Great hanging parrots - Moluccan hanging parrots - Orange-fronted hanging parrots - Philippine hanging parrots - Pygmy hanging parrots - Sangihe hanging parrots - Sri Lanka hanging parrots - Sula hanging parrots - Wallace's Hanging Parrots - Yellow-throated hanging parrots. Editor's note: Some of us may add budgies and cockatiels (aka bat birds) for good measure to that list. Parrots in the wild get their cue as to when to sleep and wake up by sunlight. Usually an 11 to 13 hour cycle because most parrots are found in geographical areas near the equator. Full moons might keep a flock of parrots up a little later one night but also signaling to them what time of year it is. Overall some of the signals that birds used to determine their sleep cycles can be the latitude that they are at, sunlight availability and the time of year - something that confuses pet birds enormously because of our North American light cycles. All parrots like to spend the night in some form of sleep. In the wild this varies by species. Parrots may sleep with a large flock, sometimes just a pair. Certain species like Golden Conures will find tree cavities to sleep in regardless if it’s breeding season or not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zk6bNG4WMHc I'm sure some of you have birds that tell you in no uncertain terms when it's time to sleep and when it's time to wake up. Many birds offer a dawn salute to ensure they're getting fed at the proper time in the morning. Peaches our Senegal will start to gently chirp precisely 60 seconds before her electronic timer turns on the overhead cage light with a full-spectrum bulb. (I tested that with Alexa) She will escalate the noise for the next 10 or 15 minutes until the cage doors opens so she can join me in my room on her swing next to her food bowl that was refilled the prior evening. Some captive bird keepers offer two sets of lights. Lights in the ceiling and lights over the cage. The ceiling lights will get turned off 20 to 30 minutes before the cage lights to simulate something of a sunset which finalizes when the cage lights dim to darkness. Editor's note: A parrot’s lack of sleep can be a trigger to negative behaviors like screaming, feather plucking, and chronic egg laying. The most important thing to remember is to synchronize your birds sleep and socialization time with your own. If you work a little later in the evening, it's not a bad idea to let your bird stay up later in the evening so the two of you can enjoy some face time or watch TV together Based on my general research, birds that come from equatorial regions really need 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness. Indonesian and Australian birds come from much farther south of the equator and they are more forgiving about changing light cycles. Budgies and cockatiel's can sometimes, kinda sorta adapt to North American light cycles but it depends on the season so we still recommend using artificial lighting on timers. For many South American birds like Amazons, Macaws and Conures, it (daily light cycle) may or may not make a difference, so as I like to say “test for everything”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Q6UXVX9HGg Some parrots are docile and sleep most the night. Many parrots like many humans do get munchies in the middle of the night so fresh food and water should be made available throughout the sleep cycle. Bert’s observations indicated his Amazons preened all night. Were they sleep preening like sleep walking? Hard to say. If the bird's sleeping cage is in a quiet environment, covering it will be all that is necessary. If the bird cage resides in a social area of the home it may be wise to put the bird into a smaller sleeping cage then placed in a silent room for the night. Some birds like cockatiel's are susceptible to night frights. This can be dangerous because when the birds spook they can flap uncontrollably and fall to the bottom of the cage possibly injuring a wing or leg. We do offer night lamps for birds that provide a gentle form of moonlight giving the bird restful darkness but not total darkness. At the-end-of-the-day we can't tell you exactly what your birds like cycle should be and what your bird is doing while it is experiencing in the dark side of the light cycle. We simply wanted to offer a guide on how to best determine your own birds light cycles and in cage environmental needs. If you’ve got more to add to this conversation, we encourage comments below. written by mitch rezman approved by catherine tobsing your zygodactyl footnote Click to Post
