Still Waters Posted June 6, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 6, 2014 A new species of bird has been discovered in Indonesia and has been dubbed the Wakatobi Flowerpecker. Zoologists from Trinity College Dublin, describing their finding in the journal PLOS One, said the colourful bird from the Wakatobi Islands should be recognised as a unique species. https://uk.news.yaho...62.html#IZ5yyuH 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aka CAT Posted June 6, 2014 #2 Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) 8-) Red-breasted bird. Before my seeing a rose-breasted grosbeak, I thought the above color descriptions interchangeable. The so-named grosbeak, however, has what looks like a rose with a red stem. Edited June 6, 2014 by aka CAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonshadow60 Posted June 10, 2014 #5 Share Posted June 10, 2014 It is a very lovely little creature. Sometimes I wish these new species would never be discovered. People are so destructive. Even if humans love something, we can pester it to death with our infatuation or "scientific" curiosity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Trinity Posted June 13, 2014 #8 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Nice to see an article about the discovery of a new species, seeing as most articles (often rightly) only tend to focus on those that mankind has destroyed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiloh17 Posted June 14, 2014 #9 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Flower-pecker. Now there's a name to instill fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
