Yellow-cheeked Lorikeet
Trichoglossus meyeri
Small bright green lorikeet with bright yellow cheeks. Also note olive-yellow crown, yellow-edged “scaling” on the belly, and bright red bill. Well-patterned underparts, bill color, and more pointed tail distinguish this species from racquet-tails, the only other similarly-sized green parrots on Sulawesi; much larger and longer-tailed than hanging-parrots. Flocks in wooded and open areas, gathering at fruiting and flowering trees. Primarily in middle elevations; less common in lowlands. Gives high-pitched shrieking calls. Formerly lumped in with Sula Lorikeet under the name “Yellow-and-green Lorikeet.”

Masked Shining-Parrot
Prosopeia personata
A distinctive large bright green parrot with a black face and a rough-edged yellow chest and belly. Occurs in a variety of habitats. Black face and yellow chest separate it from the similarly sized Crimson and Red Shining-Parrots. Voice is typical of parrots, including a variety of nasal “erh” and “grrraah” calls.
Gabela Bushshrike
Laniarius amboimensis
A striking bushshrike with a chestnut crown and nape, blackish upperparts with a white wing-stripe, and entirely white underparts. A scarce species that skulks in pairs in the understory of secondary forest and farmbush, including coffee plantations, near Gabela along the Angolan escarpment. Vocalizations are variable, but quality is consistent: a haunting reverberating “whorrrrr,” a sweet musical “til-out, til-out,” and nasal twanging or grating rattles. Tropical Boubou is similar to Gabela Bushshrike but differs by having buffy underparts and a blackish, not chestnut, crown.
Red-necked Falcon
Falco chicquera
A rather small but powerful falcon with fast and direct flight. It has a rufous crown, nape, and moustachial stripe. A wide yellow eye-ring is quite distinct. Its upperparts are pale gray, and fine barring adorns its white underparts, which are sometimes suffused with gray. This bird of the open country mostly hunts birds on the wing, targeting its prey from a perch, often bringing it down quite close to the ground.
