Fiji Bush Warbler

An appropriately named chunky petrel, distinctive in its bland coloration and lack of patterning. Silvery gray-brown above, with a white belly and pale throat. Underwing is dark and unmarked. Bill is pale yellowish with dark contours. Simple bicolored coloration separates this species from other petrels, and chunky proportions and stubby-billed profile distinguish it from similar-looking shearwaters. Follows cold-water currents throughout the southern seas, flying rapidly and directly on stiffly-held wings. Breeds on islands in the southern Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, favoring steep slopes with ample ground cover.

Small yellowish tyrannulet with a narrow reddish facial patch. Usually perches horizontally in the mid-story and canopy of humid montane forest. Olive green above and olive yellow below, with a gray crown; also has thin yellow-green wingbars. Usually travels in pairs, which may be found in mixed-species flocks. Listen for its song, a hyperactive series of high, squeaky chip notes that rises and falls quickly, and its call, a high squeaky “pseet!” that is often doubled.

A long-tailed, red-billed parrot, mostly lime-green apart from a paler collar, a marginally darker head, and a yellow-green patch on the breast. In flight, shows yellow underwings. Juveniles are duller, with a brown bill. Restricted to the island of Flores, where small groups inhabit forested foothills. Found at higher elevations than Coconut Lorikeet, and lacks the dark blue head and the red on the underparts. Vocal, giving shrill calls typical of lorikeets: “skreeeee.”
