#1992 - Barnardius zonarius -Australian Ringneck

AKA Twenty-eight Parrot, Mallee, Port Lincoln, Banded or Cloncurry Ringneck, Buln Buln, and to the the Nyungar of Southwest Australia, dowarn [pronounced dow’awn] and doomolok [dorm’awe’lawk].  First described as Psittacus zonarius by English naturalist George Shaw and later as Platycercus zonarius, when it was considered one of the admittedly closely related Rosellas.

Edward Barnard (1786–1861), was an English civil servant, zoologist, horticulturalist and Agent-Gen. for the Crown Colonies 1825–1861. Twenty-eight is an onomatopoeic derived from its distinctive call, which sounds like "twenty-eight" (or possibly the French equivalent, '"vingt-huit").

There are four subspecies across Australia, in all environments bar the highest mountains and most extreme tropics. 

These parrots are quite common in Perth, but are being out-competed for nesting space by the Rainbow Lorikeet from the East Coast. As a result, the lorikeets are culled, leading to such interesting sights for freshly-arrived tourists as dead and dying lorikeets strewn across the airport car park.

Ringnecks are usually seen in pairs - in this case, it was two pairs, screaming at each other. See this interview with Tim Low about why Australian birds are generally utter bastards (and how songbirds originated in Australia)

This photo was taken in Wellard, Perth, but we certainly saw some on Culeenup Island. Unfortunately, they’re incresaingly being replaced in Wellard by the Rainbow Parakeets.

Exploring the Southern Flinders Ranges.....Kanyaka Ruins

A window view of the area around Kanyaka Ruins Dear Reader: There are patches of low scrub and gravelly, ochre shaded soil on either side of the dirt road leading to the ruins. We are not expecting to see much wildlife on this exposed track. A pair of adult Emus surprise us as they dash across the road and I have just enough time to grab the camera from the console and fire off a few…

Poll Info

There are 8 brackets, with 208 species featured! Ranges were determined either using the self-report feature added to the submission box or with eBird sightings. "Cosmopolitan" is a bracket involving species of birds which were found on at least three continents, regardless of which they were submitted for. "Eurasia" are birds which seem to appear equally between Europe and Asia (majority of the continent, not just Middle East). "the Americas" includes all of the Americas, with US birds removed- granted, some Canadian or Mexican birds can show up in the US, but they're not common enough backyard birds (imo) to have been disqualified.

Please-- feel free to advocate for whichever bird you vote for! I would love to get some more participation with this tournament, especially since this is a poll with popular bird species.

Polls will be a week long, and are tagged #Great Backyard Bird Off. All subsequent reblogs are tagged as #poll reblog. Be sure to block this tag if you want to avoid me spamming your dash. Any reblogs containing support for a species will be tagged #[species] support. Results will be tagged #poll results.

Day 14 in Australia

Today, after a few errands in Esperance, we drove 5 hours to Albany with just a couple of brief stops. Wildlife spotted from the car included two emus in a field, an Australian ringneck (parrot), crested pigeons, ravens, and some unidentifiable birds of prey. (Unidentifiable from a moving vehicle, that is.) We finished the Anna Kendrick audiobook and moved on to Bill Bryson's Down Under. One section of Chapter 1 had me in absolute stitches!

We checked into our accommodations (we are only here for one night) and then went into the central part of town for a little walk, a look at the water, a drink, and finally a delicious dinner at an Indian restaurant.

Tomorrow we drive to Margaret River, but we'll do some sightseeing along the way.

[peregrinesprogress]

I guess I have a dog blog now! My intent is to use this as a sort of digital scrapbook as we raise and train our sweet, nervous puppy.

Us: Myself (Wolfie, main blog wraisedbywolves) and my husband Chris. We both grew up with dogs and have had one previous dog as adults/as a couple, but have never raised a puppy or pursued higher level training/dog sports before. Wish us luck.

Her: Peregrine, aka Pippin, Pip, etc. Named after the bird, for her sharp face markings. She’s a husky/australian cattle dog with a little pit and lab. She was adopted from a local SPCA but was shipped up to New York State from another shelter in Alabama where she and her sister were surrendered at just 5 weeks old. She started out very nervous and cautious, with a tendency to shut down rather than react to things that scare her, but is building confidence and doing great. Our hope is to build on that confidence and encourage her smarts by pursuing a canine good citizen certification and hopefully getting her involved in agility or another dog sport!

Other household members: Two pigeons (Damian Wings and Hildegarde of Bingham), two ringneck doves (Charlemagne and Divine Justinia), and two rabbits (Merlin and Dora the Angora). First priority with training is to make sure Pip can live peacefully with them, although they’ll likely always be kept in separate spaces for safety.

[itsbrucey]

hihi brucey you mentioned naga glenn and uh i have some snake suggestions for him :] IF YOU HAVE A FEAR OF SNAKES I’M VERY SORRY/GEN (i’ve never had an intrest in snakes and all of a sudden my brain was like i need to share the beauty of australian snakes so i am so sorry for this nahdkhdskhdk)

Red Bellied Black Snake!! They’re know for being very venomous and deadly but also they just lie in the sun a LOT and can be confused for truck tyres and fun lark fact i stepped on one once and it tried to bite me :] i was wearing a gumboot so it was fine but yeah yeah- a glenn snake because of the colouring tbh i think it’d be cool especially if he’s wearing a cool leather jacket as well

Tiger snake! Never seen one irl before but again very much deadly also a glenn snake but more on the yellow side but like firey naga glenn does that make sense?

This is a blue bellied black snake! Basically the first one but cooler (like colours cooler pun unintended sorry that was a bad one) A very Jodie snake if i think about it but could also be glenn!

This is a desert whip snake and fun fact about the little guy is that apparently he was discovered last year in 2023!! Apparently but the internet can lie akdhdkdjkd but again glenn colour pallete but also nicky? since orange and blue are jodie and glenn’s colours and put those togehter you get nicky?

Uh that is the end of my weird snake talk :D i think i was possesed by Steve Irwin or something becuase i’ve never felt more passionate about snakes. I will draw naga glenn and harpy henry and stuff ahhdjhrhehhe but just wanted to share design notes/ideas? Sorry for falling into your inbox with something completely unexpected!!

NO DUDE I LOVE SNAKES!!! I'm not super knowledgeable about them but I adore them and I'm seated and listening.

THAT COLORING FOR GLENN??? SO TRUE??? Looked them up and they got these dope black tongues....a metal snake. A cool ass snake. This snake IS RAD. GLENN-CORE!!!

The tiger snake also works so well,,,,,grrrrrrRHAHAGGAGHH. WITH THE GOLD????????????? I can almost imagine. The two mashed together bc the fiery golden yellow and the red and the almost metallic black...... Both are so good I literally can't pick.

AND THE JODIE SNAKE!?!?!??!.......?..! I like the idea of it being Jodie bc y'know. Blue n Red. Jodie n Glenn. At least Jodie is blue-coded and Glenn is red-coded to me but I've seen it switched up :] If they're red n blue bellied black snakes though that would be so funny... they are forced to be foils in every timeline.

I love the desert whip snake...it's one of those animals where the head is a smidge too big and it's so cute.. big agree on the color mash-up btw!!! I'm throwing my hat in the Snake Headcanon Ring by offering up either the Regal Ringneck snake or the CLASSIC Horned Viper bc.....well.....get it....he's a...demon...badum tssshh

( the Regal Ringneck snake btw which is SOOOO PRETTY. I was tinkering with a Swap au for my OCS a while back and Marley would've swapped with Eli, making her a big naga creature and I thought it would be silly if she color scheme was a blue n yellow to contrast his red n green!! And this snake was on the Vision Board)

PLLLLEASSEEEE SHARE ALL THE IDEAS AND NOTES YOU WANT. I love OCS. Worldbuilding. And character design so much and you can fall into my inbox anytime :] I'll try to fish you out in a timely manner next time /j
