Purple-naped Lory
Lorius domicella
Unmistakable: a red parrot with a diagnostic dark cap, forest-green wings, and a slim yellow necklace. Juveniles show a broader yellow band, more violet on nape, and a brown bill (red in adults). Secretive pairs occupy hill forest on the island of Seram. The only red parrot in its range with a dark cap, green wings, and a yellow necklace. Gives harsh screeches and raptor-like whistles.

分类信息
The purple-naped lory was formally described by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus in 1758 in the tenth edition of his Systema Naturae under the binomial name Psittacus domicella. The specific epithet domicella is Medieval Latin meaning "damsel". Linnaeus based his description on "The second Black-capped Lory" that had been described and illustrated in 1751 by the English naturalist George Edwards in his book A Natural History of Uncommon Birds. The specimen had been brought to London from the East Indies and Edwards was able made a drawing of it at the home of the naturalist and collector Hans Sloane. Linnaeus specified the locality as "Asia", but this is now taken to be Ambon Island in the Maluku Islands. The purple-naped lory is now placed in the genus Lorius that was introduced in 1825 by the Irish zoologist Nicholas Aylward Vigors. The species is monotypic: no subspecies are recognised.

African Citril
Crithagra citrinelloides
A small seedeater with a sharp bill and a forked tail. The upperparts are olive-green and the underparts yellow. Males have a black face and plain yellow underparts. Females have a plain face, but are heavily streaked below. Found at middle and high elevations in a variety of habitats including forest edge, gardens, cultivation, moist scrub, and woodland. Usually in small flocks. Similar to Southern Citril, but there is virtually no overlap in range, and the male is easily separated by its black face. The song is a fast jumble of high-pitched twitters and whistles.
Fawn-breasted Wren
Cantorchilus guarayanus
A rather nondescript medium-sized wren. Mostly brown above and rusty below, with a white eyebrow and pied streaked cheeks. Skulks in the undergrowth of seasonally flooded forest and second growth, often near water. The similar Buff-breasted Wren has less strongly marked cheeks and a more complex song. Where the two overlap, Fawn-breasted is more likely to be found in wetter habitats.
Chilean Tinamou
Nothoprocta perdicaria
Cryptically plumaged chickenlike bird of matorral shrubland, open scrub, and farmland; endemic to central Chile. Found as singles or small groups; most often seen along roadsides early and late in the day. Usually runs away, but if disturbed will flush explosively from underfoot with shrieking whistles. The only tinamou in its range, but compare with distinctively patterned California Quail, which often occurs in same areas. Song is a short, abrupt whistle; given irregularly and hard to trace.
