#Ducula bicolor

[critter-captures]

Pied imperial pigeon (Ducula bicolor), family Columbidae (doves and pigeons)

Its taxonomy is confusing and remains unsettled, in part due to its similarity to various other species within the Ducula genus. It stands out by its white plumage (lacking spots on the thighs and a yellowish tinge) and grayish bill with a black tip.

!!!ROUND!!! 1!!!! POLL!!!! 172!!!!

[ID: two yellow-ish white pigeons perch on branches. the Pied imperial pigeon has black on it's wings and tail. the Silver-tipped imperial pigeon has grey.]

fun fact! pigeons do not know what the word "umbrella" means! maybe you should try to teach it to some of them.

the pied imperial pigeon is one of the few I have actually seen in person (in a zoo, though)! the silver-tipped imperial pigeon is soo pretty! it almost looks like a shiny version of the pied imperial pigeon!

[jokerlennon]

these are some pictures of the pied imperial pigeon I took a while ago! (they do not live where I do, they were in this sort of zoo place, not exactly a zoo, don't remember exactly what it is called.) it's scientific name is Ducula bicolor, and I think they are very very beautiful. I think there should be a species of pigeon that drinks blood called the vampire imperial pigeon, or Ducula Dracula. unfourtunately, I did not invent Animals 😔

:0 such beautiful creatures! there is a character in the kids animation series danger mouse who is a duck vampire called count duckula this isn't technically related but i remembered his existence abruptly bc of these guys. thank you for the pigeon photos

Să te întorci la birou nu te mai încântă? O insulă tropicală din Marea Barieră de Corali are nevoie de îngrijitor

Un nou loc de muncă tocmai a devenit disponibil pe o insulă tropicală izolată din Marea Barieră de Corali, în apropiere de coasta statului australian Queensland.

Autoritatea Parcului Marin al Marii Bariere de Corali caută îngrijitor care să poată locui full-time pe Low Isles, aflată în jur de 16 kilometri depărtare de Portul Douglas.

Îngrijitorul ar trebui să întrețină destinația turistică Low Isles, dar și să protejeze fauna sălbatică locală.

Un astfel de loc de muncă ar putea părea palpitant, în special în vremurile de azi, cu distanțare socială și siguranță scăzută pe piața muncii, însă autoritățile avertizează că acest job nu este pentru toată lumea.

Ce înseamnă traiul într-un paradis tropical izolat

„Îngrijitorii trăiesc în paradis pe o insulă tropicală, înconjurată de Marea Barieră de Corali. Dar, îngrijirea insulei este o muncă grea și traiul într-un loc izolat înseamnă electricitate și apă limitată, ceea ce nu s-ar potrivi tuturor”, a explicat dr. Mark Read, director adjunct la Autoritatea Parcului Marin al Marii Bariere de Corali.

„Îngrijitorii trebuie să se implice în tot, de la menținerea clădirilor și infrastructurii, inclusiv a sistemului solar și cel de canalizare, cooperarea cu operatorii de turism, curățarea toaletelor, îngrijirea spațiilor verzi și numărarea populațiilor de păsări, precum porumbelul imperial pied (Ducula bicolor), transmite Standard.

„Căutam oameni care nu se sfiesc să se murdărească pe mâini și să trăiască în izolare”

„Căutam oameni cu pasiune pentru sustenabilitate și patrimoniul natural, experiență în îngrijirea infrastructurii și care nu se sfiesc să se murdărească pe mâini și să trăiască în izolare”, a mai adăugat Read.

Low Isles este o pereche de insule, la nord-est de Australia. Sunt o destinația populară pentru turiști, vizitatorii venind în mare parte din Portul Douglas pentru a observa păsări și face scufundări.

@halcyon79​ This is a Pied imperial pigeon! (Perhaps with some contrast raised, it looks a little too buttery yellow)

The pied imperial pigeon (Ducula bicolor) is a relatively large, pied species of pigeon. It is found in forest, woodland, mangrove, plantations and scrub in Southeast Asia, ranging from Myanmar and Thailand, throughout Indonesia and east to the Philippines (where it is locally called as balud-puti) and the Bird's Head Peninsula in New Guinea. It is mainly found on small islands and in coastal regions. It remains locally common, and is therefore considered to be of least concern by BirdLife International and IUCN.

Its taxonomy is confusing and remains unsettled. It has sometimes included the Torresian, yellowish and silver-tipped imperial pigeons as subspecies. The widespread nominate subspecies of the pied imperial pigeon differs from all these by its plain white thighs and undertail coverts (though often with a dark spot at the very tip), and its narrowly dark-tipped bluish bill. For comparison, the other species' have black-spotted undertail coverts and thighs (spotting mainly near thighs in silver-tipped imperial pigeon), the bill of the Torresian imperial pigeon is greenish-yellow, and the bills of the yellowish and silver-tipped imperial pigeons are bluish at the base and yellowish at the tip.

Furthermore, the yellowish imperial pigeon has a distinctive yellowish tinge to its plumage (some pied imperial pigeons may also appear yellowish, but infrequently to the same extent), and the silver-tipped imperial pigeon has silvery-grey remiges. However, the taxon melanura of the Moluccas, which usually is considered a subspecies of the pied imperial pigeon, resembles the Torresian imperial pigeon in bill, thighs and undertail coverts, but has a significantly broader black tail-tip. Consequently, some have suggested it should be placed under the Torresian imperial pigeon, while others have suggested it should be considered an entirely separate species, D. melanura (for which the name black imperial pigeon has been used – an unfortunate choice, as only the tail has significantly more black than the other members of this group, and the name black imperial pigeon usually has been used for D. melanochroa). Yet others have considered melanura to be invalid, instead believing it only is a morph of D. b. bicolor, as both types can be found on some islands.

28 Desember 2016

Sinar matahari yang terik menyambut siang hari itu. Kami meletakkan koper-koper kembali ke dalam mobil, dan bersiap untuk menuju destinasi baru yang sudah dijanjikan pakle: kampung suku Bajo di Torosiaje. Katanya, kampung ini beda dari kampung-kampung lain: terletak di atas laut, dan tidak ada debu atau nyamuk. Sepertinya menjanjikan...

Saya melakukan riset kalau suku Bajo ini tinggal di kawasan Wakatobi. Ekspetasi pertama saya, lha kok ke Wakatobi? ‘Kan jauh... dan kampung yang dimaksud ini terletak di Pohuwato. Ya, ada di Gorontalo, ga usah jauh-jauh 😸

Perjalanannya jauh: bisa dibayangkan Jakarta - Sukabumi. Karena kondisi kesehatan saya yang tidak mumpuni, saya memilih tidur di kursi belakang, menjaga kamera dewa-nya pakle. Kami melewati banyak pemandangan, yang hanya bisa saya nikmati. Dan, saya tidak begitu menginginkan jagung putih itu lagi. Rasanya hambar 😑

Malam beranjak. Kami memutuskan untuk makan malam di Pantai Pohon Cinta (saya malas mencari etimologi nama pantai ini 😂 ) yang toilet-nya patut diacungi jempol (sarkasme), dan menginap semalam di suatu hotel. Akhirnya, kasur... kami pun tidur untuk mengisi daya untuk hari esok.

Perjalanan menuju Torosiaje dimulai agak siang. Akses menuju desa ini adalah dengan menggunakan sampan. Tentu, ini seperti jasa ojek: bayar setelah sampai. Setelah sampai, kami langsung merapihkan barang. Tunggu, ini ‘kan... restoran. Kok menginap di restoran? Ooh, ternyata ini kenalannya pakle, jadi diperbolehkan menginap di sini. Mengingat di sini memang tak ada debu, saya menyempatkan diri untuk melepas sandal saat patroli desa bersama Wishnu. Sisanya - bude dan mbah - istirahat.

Desa ini mengingatkan saya dengan hotel di Pulau Ayer dan entah bagaimana, Venesia. Akses dengan sampan, cukup ditambahkan kesan Italia, dan sebuah liburan a la luar negeri! 😂  Begitupula dengan biotanya yang unik: bulu babi, bintang laut seperti di Pulau Pasir, Belitung, dan kepiting biola (yang memiliki capit yang tidak proporsional). Spesies burungnya ada yang baru bagi saya: pergam laut (Ducula bicolor) dan merpati hitam sulawesi (Turacoena manadensis).

Dari pantauan saya dan Wishnu dalam patroli desa, infrastruktur desa ini sudah memadai, kecuali di beberapa jembatan yang rapuh dan bahkan ada yang putus. Desa ini terus berkembang, dilihat dari jumlah konstruksi rumah yang tergolong banyak bagi sebuah desa (4 atau 5 konstruksi). Tentu saja, komoditas desa ini adalah bahan laut (seafood) yang bisa dipancing di laut lepas di tepi desa atau langsung dari bawah rumah. Akses Internet masih 3G, jadi jangan kaget kalau sinyal di sana kurang, namun di beberapa titik tertentu, Internetnya cukup memadai.

Lobster siap! Ayy, lobster, makanan hedon yang harganya bisa mencapai Rp500.000/ekor itu? Di sini, lebih murah: kira-kira Rp50.000/ekor, atau mungkin kurang atau lebih, IDK 😁  tapi, sudahlah, langsung santap saja! Setelah ditangkap dari bawah lantai dapur, langsung tamat riwayat krustasea imut ini, di sistem pencernaan ini 😜 😰  dan, lihat. Dabu-dabu... 

Kami memutuskan untuk tidur di luar, menikmati langit yang bersih dari polusi cahaya sembari mengobrol untuk rencana liburan selanjutnya. Namun, sebuah awan badai di cakrawala - lengkap dengan petirnya - memaksa kami untuk tidur di dalam. Benar saja, paginya mendung. Namun, langsung cerah di siang hari. Kami meninggalkan desa ini pada siang hari, menuju petualangan selanjutnya, Oh ya, kesehatan saya mulai membaik, karena menghabiskan waktu tidur di jok belakang mobil 😁

Sunset-nya kapan-kapan aja ya... kalo udah masuk musim kemarau 🌅
