| contents | <p><b>MEEK’S LORIKEET <i>Charmosyna meeki</i> (NT)</b></p><p>A blossom nomad endemic to the Solomons. On most islands, it is normally found above 900–1,000 m (Collar & Boesman 2020). Previously on Bougainville, Hamlin (1928) encountered it above 900 m in flocks of up to more than 100 birds; Diamond (1975) observed <i>C. meeki</i> on Mt. Balbi where it was ‘confined to the mountains’ (Diamond 1975: 15); and Schodde (1977) reported the species at 300–1,500 m, usually in flocks of 10–15. In 2019, at Kaitare’ei a group of at least 12 <i>C. meeki</i> was seen together with Duchess Lorikeet <i>C. margarethae</i> in a flowering <i>Syzygium</i> at 650 m. At Kukupi, flocks of 3–8+ were encountered daily above 1,450 m.</p> |
