Bird #93 - Regent honeyeater (CR)

In the wild, regent honeyeaters are so rare that young birds are struggling to learn the song of their own species; the complexity of their song has decreased across generations, and some honeyeaters now sing the calls of other birds. This gradual loss of identity could impact their ability to find a mate.

On a brighter note, active conservation and a successful captive breeding program are in place, and the species is unlikely to go extinct as long as we continue to aid them.

#meliphagidae #passeriformes #bird of the day #I thought the loss of song is so so poetic and fascinating #slowly losing what made them unique as they get closer to fading from the world #also this is why im not a fan of most de-extinction efforts that claim they can make a 'true' dire wolf or moa or whatever #biology is so much more complex than just DNA; sometimes cultural learned behaviours just cannot be replicated #anyways i love animals #birds #bird art #artists on tumblr #digital art #conservation #extinction #animals

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Chat, are we cooked? Not if we're a yellow chat! Although they can be found in marshlands, these birds have several special adaptations that allow them to thrive in more arid environments. They have a much slower metabolism compared to other passerine birds, which means they lose less water to evaporation in the heat of the day. As members of the honeyeater family, they also have special brush-tipped tongues which they use to collect dew from the surfaces of plants.
