Many in aviculture will tell you that nothing compares to the satisfaction of raising a healthy, loving bird, but there is one bigger thrill that the parrot enthusiast can enjoy - the discovery of a new species. There is no need to travel to the uncharted territories of space to find unidentified life forms, but on the other hand discoveries are few and far between. This article introduces a couple of new species discovered in 2006.
Study of new species contributes to the knowledge base of micro evolutionary patterns and processes of parrot evolution, and can be used to test the relative contribution that different micro evolutionary forces have in shaping species.
Camiguin Hanging-parrot, Loriculus (philippensis) camiguinensise
This parrot was first described in 2006 and is found on the island of Camiguin in the Philippines. It was identified as a separate species from the Philippine Hanging Parrot (Loriculus camiguinensis). It is a mostly green bird measuring around five and a half inches. It was discovered in Camiguin's forest in the coconut plantations, and there are thought to be a population of around 2,000.
Tucuman Mitred Conure, Aratinga mitrata tucumana
First described in 2006 this is one of the Mitred Parakeet (Aratinga mitrata), a species of parrot in the Psittacidae family. It has mainly green plumage and measures up to 15 inches. It was discovered in its native habitat in Tucuman in Argentina, but is thought to be in Peru also. Its likes to stay in dry areas of tree and forest. It can be distinguished by its green cheeks and red coloring that is limited to its forehead.
These new species are not suitable parrots as pets, and it will take time for aviculture to lead to domestication.
