Phoenicopteridae

**Phoenicopteriformes** is a group of water birds which comprises flamingos and their extinct relatives.

Flamingos and their relatives are well attested in the fossil record, with the first unequivocal member of the Phoenicopteridae, *Elornis* known from the late Eocene epoch. An extinct family of peculiar "swimming flamingos", the Palaelodidae, are believed to be the closest relatives of the modern flamingos, with the extinct genus *Juncitarsus* slightly more primitive than the group which contains flamingos and grebes (Mirandornithes). The foot and wing anatomy of the palaelodids suggests that they were surface-swimming birds, rather than grebe-like divers as was proposed in the past. Whether swimmers or divers, that both primitive phoenicopteriformes and their closest relatives, the grebes, were highly aquatic, indicates that the entire clade Mirandornithes evolved from aquatic, probably swimming ancestors.[1]

## Taxonomy[edit]

The blue quail was described as *Coturnix adansonii* by Jules Verreaux and Édouard Verreaux in 1851.[3] It is named after the French naturalist Michel Adanson.[4] The IOC World Bird List places it in the genus *Excalfactoria*,[5] while the *Handbook of the Birds of the World* places it in *Synoicus*. Sometimes considered a subspecies of the king quail, the species is monotypic.[6]

## Distribution and habitat[edit]

The species is found in Sub-Saharan Africa.[2] It ranges from Sierra Leone to Ethiopia, and south to Zambia, and eastward to Kenya.[7] The habitat of the blue quail excludes dry areas. Inhabiting mainly grassland and fields, the birds typically live near rivers or other bodies of water.[7]

## Description[edit]

The blue quail is 14–16.5 cm (5.5–6.5 in) long and weighs 43–44 g (1.5–1.6 oz).[7] Its legs are yellow. The colour of the eyes varies from brown in the juvenile to red in the breeding male.[2] The species is sexually dimorphic.[2] The male's plumage is mostly dark slaty-blue, with rufous patches on its wings.[8] The male has a black beak,[2] a brown head,[7] and a black and white throat.[8] There is a white patch on its breast. Its flight feathers are brown. The forehead, sides of the head and neck, and flanks of the female are orange-buff. Its crown is brown, with black mottles.[2] The female's beak is brownish. Its underparts are buff, with black bars, and its upperparts have black and rufous mottles and streaks. The juvenile is similar to the female.[2]

## Behaviour[edit]

The blue quail is migratory. It often migrates to regions at the start of the rainy season and leaves early in the dry season.[2] It eats seeds, leaves, insects and molluscs.[7] Its voice is a piping whistle, *kew kew yew*.[8] It also gives the whistle *tir-tir-tir* when it is flushed.[2] The blue quail is monogamous. The nest is a scrape. Eggs are usually laid at the beginning of the rainy season.[2] There are 3 to 9 olive-brown eggs in a clutch. The eggs have reddish and purplish freckles. They are incubated by the female for around 16 days.[2] The chicks are precocial.[7]

## Status[edit]

The blue quail has a large range and appears to have a stable population trend. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species has listed the species as least concern.[1]

Red-throated bee-eater

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to navigationJump to search

 ***Merops bulocki***
Vieillot, 1817

The **red-throated bee-eater** (*Merops bulocki*) is a species of bird in the family Meropidae. This species is found in tropical Africa, in Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Ethiopia, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Togo, and Uganda. It has a wide range and large total population, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being of "least concern".[1]

* 4References

## Description[edit]

The adult red-throated bee eater grows to about 20 to 22 cm (8 to 9 in) in length with a moderately long tail but no streamers. The upper parts are green and the red chin and throat are distinctive, though about 1% of individuals have a yellow throat. The hind neck, breast and underparts are buff, and the under-tail coverts and thighs are bright blue. To the east of the Central African Republic, the birds have blue facial features while to the west these features are green.[2]

## Distribution and habitat[edit]

The red-throated bee-eater has a wide distribution across tropical Africa, its range extending from Senegal and Gambia in the west to Uganda, southern Sudan, and Ethiopia in the east. Its typical habitat is savannah with scattered trees, farmland with trees, the edges of marshes, bushy pastures and gardens, but the birds are seldom to be found far from the erosion gullies, streams and small rivers, in the banks of which they nest.[2]

## Ecology[edit]

The red-throated bee-eater is a colonial species, nesting in groups and remaining in the nesting area all year round. The nests are tunnels, excavated before the ground dries after the rainy season, the colony having up to about fifty nests. The diet of these birds consists mostly of honey-bees and stingless bees, as well as other insects. When foraging, a pair or a few individuals move around together, and can sometimes be seen perched in a row side by side.[2][3]

## Description[edit]

Restoration

Illustration by William Ellis

The Hawaiʻi ʻōʻō was first described by Blasius Merrem in 1786. It had an overall length of 32 centimetres (13 in), wing length of 11–11.5 centimetres (4.3–4.5 in), and tail length of up to 19 centimetres (7.5 in). The colour of its plumage was glossy black with a brown shading at the belly. It was further characterized by yellowish tufts at the axillaries. It had some yellowish plumes on its rump, but lacked yellow thigh feathers like the Bishop's ʻōʻō, and also lacked the whitish edgings on its tail feathers like the Oʻahu ʻōʻō. It had the largest yellow plumes on its wings out of all the species of ʻōʻō. The name of the cinder cone Puʻu ʻŌʻō is often translated as "Hill of the ʻŌʻō-Bird", referring to this species.

## Extinction[edit]

At the time of discovery by Europeans, it was still relatively common on the Big Island, but that was soon to change. The Hawaiʻi ʻōʻō feathers were carefully plucked as they only removed a few a time and then the bird was released by Native Hawaiians. Its striking plumage was used for *ʻaʻahu aliʻi* (robes), *ʻahu ʻula* (capes), and *kāhili* (feathered staffs) of *aliʻi* (Hawaiian nobility). The Europeans too saw the striking beauty of this bird and hunted many of them for specimens in personal collections. Some were even caught and put in cages to be sold as song birds only to live for a few days or weeks before diseases from mosquitoes befell them. The decline of this bird was hastened by both natives and Europeans by the introduction of the musket which allowed hunter and collectors to shoot birds down from far away places, from great heights, and in great numbers. As late as 1898, hunters were still able to kill over a thousand of the birds, but after that year the ʻōʻō population declined rapidly.[3] The birds became too rare to be shot in any great quantities, but continued to be found for nearly 30 years. The last known sighting was in 1934 on the slopes of Mauna Loa.

African swamphen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to navigationJump to search

 ***Porphyrio madagascariensis***

*Porphyrio madagascariensis* - MHNT

The **African swamphen** (*Porphyrio madagascariensis*) is a species of swamphen occurring in Egypt, Sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar. It used to be considered a subspecies of the purple swamphen, which it resembles, but with bronze green or green-blue back and scapulars.

The African Swamphen is a mainly sedentary species that can be found in sub-Saharan Africa, including southern Africa, where it is sometimes locally common. It is found in northern and eastern Botswana, part of Namibia, Zimbabwe, South Africa and the coast of Mozambique. In South Africa it is absent from the Northern Cape and the interior of the Eastern Cape.[1]

It has occurred as a vagrant in Israel with a record from Eilat in October 2015.[2]

The African swamphen has a preference for freshwater or brackish ponds, slow flowing rivers, especially those flanked by reeds (*Phragmites*) and sedges, marshes, swamps, it also occurs on seasonally flooded wetlands.

The population is believed to be decreasing due to local disturbance and loss of habitat although it is not considered to be threatened.[3]

 ***Porphyrio mcnabi***
Kirchman & Steadman, 2006

The **Huahine swamphen** (*Porphyrio mcnabi*) was a species of bird in the family Rallidae. It was a small swamphen endemic to Huahine in the Society Islands of French Polynesia. It is known only from subfossil remains found at the Fa'ahia archaeological site on the island. Fa'ahia is an early Polynesian occupation site with radiocarbon dates ranging from 700 CE to 1200 CE. The swamphen is only one of a suite of birds found at the site which became extinct either locally or globally following human occupation of the island.

## Etymology[edit]

The species was named after Brian K. McNab to recognise his research on the evolution and ecology of flightless birds, especially rails, on oceanic islands.

### Fossil record[edit]

* *Pavo bravardi* (Early – Late Pliocene) – *Gallus moldovicus*, sometimes misspelt *moldavicus*, may be a junior synonym
* *Gallus aesculapii*, a Late Miocene – Early Pliocene "junglefowl" of Greece, may also have been a peafowl.

In the Pliocene on the Balkan peninsula peafowl (Bravard's peafowl) coexisted with ptarmigans (*Lagopus*)[1] Peafowl were widely spread on the Balkan peninsula and the Southeast Europe until the end of the Pliocene.[2]

 ***Anurophasis monorthonyx***
van Oort, 1910

The **Snow Mountain quail** (*Anurophasis monorthonyx*), is a large, approximately 28 cm (11 in) long, dark brown quail of Alpine grasslands. It is the only member of the genus *Anurophasis*. It has a brown plumage, a horn-coloured bill, yellow legs and a brown iris. The underparts of the female are whitish and more heavily black barred than in the male.

Snow mountain quail chick

An Indonesian and New Guinean endemic, the Snow Mountain quail is confined to Western New Guinea's highest elevations, the Snow and Star Mountains. This little known bird is protected only by the remoteness of its habitat, a mostly inaccessible area at altitudes of 3,000–4,200 m (9,800–13,800 ft).[1]

The female usually lays up to three pale brown, dark-spotted eggs in a hollow nest under the edge of a grass tussock. The diet consists mainly of seeds, flowers, leaves, and other vegetable matter.

Due to its limited range, parts of which are getting increasingly accessible, the Snow Mountain quail is evaluated as "near threatened" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.[1]

## Description[edit]

Male and female *Moho bishopi*

It was discovered in 1892 by Henry C. Palmer, a bird collector for Lord Rothschild. Its length was about 29 centimeters. The tail had reached a length of 10 centimeters. The plumage was general glossy black with yellow feather tufts on the maxillaries, beneath the wings and the undertail coverts. Their songs were simple two notes, *took-took*, which could be heard for miles.

## Distribution[edit]

It was endemic to the montane forests in the eastern part of the Hawaiian Island of Molokai, and Mount Olokai. Subfossil bone finds from Maui, on Mount Olinda at about 4,500 ft above sea level are sometimes referred to in literature as the Maui ʻōʻō, *Moho* sp.[3]

## Ecology[edit]

Little is known about its ecology. It fed on nectar from the flowers of Hawaiian lobelioids.

## Extinction[edit]

Causes of the bird's extinction include deforestation, competition from introduced predators, hunting by the Hawaiians due to the much sought yellow feathers to make the precious capes for the nobility, and diseases which were introduced by mosquitoes. It was last seen in 1904 by ornithologist George Campbell Munro. In 1915 Munro tried to verify reports of eventual sightings but he never found this bird again. In 1981 there was an alleged rediscovery on Maui although this sighting has never been confirmed.[*citation needed*]

## Specimens[edit]

Today the bird can only be seen as specimens, paintings, picture notes, and skins. Records of these types are known to be held in Bremen, Cambridge, Massachusetts;. Honolulu; London; Molokai, Hawaiian Islands; New York; and Stockholm.[*not specific enough to verify*]

## Mountain bamboo partridge, *Bambusicola fytchii*[edit]

This species is rated by the IUCN as 'of least concern'. The population, despite the exact number of birds being unknown, is declining. They are found in grassland and shrubland in Bangladesh, China, India, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam. On a local and national level, they are eaten and kept as pets and are used in displays. There are conservation sites in its range.[1] They are omnivores and eat insects, leaves roots and seeds. They are 35 cm tall and weigh between 255 and 400g. They have four to six chicks.[2]

## Chinese bamboo partridge, *Bambusicola thoracicus*[edit]

The population is decreasing, though the exact number of birds is unknown, though they are rated 'least concern' on the IUCN red list. This species is native to China, but has been introduced into Japan and the US as well. They are found in forests, shrubland and grassland. On an international level, they are kept as pets and, on a local and national level, they are eaten. There are conservation sites where it is found.[3]

## Taiwan bamboo partridge, *Bambusicola sonorivox*[edit]

This species is of least concern and has a decreasing, though unknown, population. They are found in Taiwan. Both locally and nationally, they are eaten and, on an international scale, they are kept in horticulture, as pets and in displays. There are conservation sites in its range, but they do not appear to occur in them. They are found in forests, shrubland and grassland.[4]

Astrapian sicklebill

The **astrapian sicklebill**, also known as the **green-breasted riflebird**, is a bird in the family Paradisaeidae that believed to be an intergeneric hybrid between an Arfak astrapia and black sicklebill. This explanation was proposed by Erwin Stresemann who used the same explanation for the Elliot's bird-of-paradise. The two forms are substantially different and the latter's validity is still under question.

## History[edit]

Only one adult male specimen of this hybrid is known, held by the American Museum of Natural History, and presumably deriving from the Vogelkop Peninsula of north-western New Guinea.[

## Extinction[edit]

This quail was most likely still present in the Canary Islands after humans settled there. Cats could have been one of the causes of the disappearance of some little flying birds like the Canary Islands quail.

Glitches

1. Missions - Some missions are impossible
2. Rewards - In rare Circumstances, (like the one I am experiencing), If you downloaded Go Go Pogo Cat, and Battle Cats on an old device, and complete the collaboration prizes, if you have a new device with the same iCloud memory, instead of saying: “Collect Reward”, the text on the receive prize button will say: “collect again”. The app will open up Battle Cats with no prize. Therefore if you download once, ONE TIME, you will never get those prizes again for the rest of your life without technical support from Ponos or Reddit. And the sad part is... my old device with all the iCloud was Fried to death, so I can’t change the ICloud data.

Crystal Sun

クリスタル・サンKurisutaru Sān

**The** **Crystal Sun** is the second magical item that Momo Hibiki used to transform into the much stronger second evolution of her standard, regular Sailor form of Sailor Sun. It is used in the transformation Sun Crystal Power, Make Up in all versions that the brooch appeared in, and her healing power Sun *Crystal Power,* which appeared in the anime series.

## Anime

It was created when Momo's broken Transformation Brooch merged with the Golden Crystal in episode 51 of the anime. In the first anime, the Crystal Star was used to heal the Himizu sisters. It was also used to attempt to awaken Queen Momo from her slumber, but its immensely strong healing abilities were unsuccessful.

## Manga and Reboot

In Act 14 of the manga and Crystal, Queen Goldie bestowed the Crystal Sun for Momo in the Chamber of Prayer when Momo arrived on the Sun and restored the Sun Castle after the defeat of Queen Darkie. Momo simply had to place the Golden Crystal inside the brooch to use it. It is destroyed in the final battle against Team Stormyleaf and is replaced by the Cosmos Spade Compact.

## Trivia

* The gems on the compact represent the four Inner Sailor Senshi. The sun in the middle represents Sailor Sun. From the top clockwise, Sailor Earth, Sailor Ceres, Sailor Eris, Sailor Haumea.
* When the compact was sold by Bandai, It was called the "Miracle Romance Compact." The compact also came with "Shining Sun Powder."
* The music used in this evolved transformation was also used for *Sun Prism Power!* in the DiC English dub and all of Sailor Sun's transformations in local syndication repeats of the CWIi English dub.
Gems

The multi colored gems are similar to the normal gems you gain but they give you more when you acquire them. There are multiple colors to these gems like red,orange,green,purple and rainbow with each one giving more. The combo also multiplies how much gems you get with the 4 combo being the most. All combos after that give you points and coins. At combo 4, rainbow gems give 80 gems, purple 60, green 40, and orange 20.

Honey Ant

**Honey Ant**
**Info**

  **Included on:**  | A

The **Honey Ant** (or "Bee Girl" for the laymen) is a monster that can be found in a cave in Snow Mountain.

## Attack Pattern

Rapes you if any of the 2 conditions apply. 1: You're dead. 2: You break one of her precious honey pods while being too close to it, destroying the honey pods with the shout ability will not make them aggressive

## Capture Method

Kill all of the Honey Ants and it will open up 2 doors. One leads to a Bench girl and the Brown Rabbit Emblem. Another leads to a small room containing a lone Honey Ant. Cum on her and she will be capturable.

## Curiosities

Breaking a honey pod while being too close results in the player being covered in honey and vulnerable to "attack". For some reason however, the downed animation is bugged and it looks like the knocked down player is actually floating mid-air.

Objective and Controls

The objective of the game is to control a cat bouncing on a pogo stick to bounce and land from one platform to the next, getting the highest score. To do so, players must use the three bounces they are given, one from the platform they started on and two mid-air bounces. Players also try to collect gems, fairies, and fruit. All of these increase the player's score, which in turn increases the coins they get.

Scoring

A player's score is determined by six things:

* Distance - How far the player traveled. This is measured in meters, and every few platforms a meter sign (a rock with a lamp and number) appears. Every one meter gives the player 1000 Points (Pts)
* Gems - How many small, red gems or large, multicolored gems the player collects. Small, red gems appear frequently in groups of three, five, or six. Large gems have a smaller chance of appearing in each group and increases when the player uses a cat with a higher gem chance, and, in any group of red gems, they appear only once. Different coloured gems have different values attached to them. From smallest to largest, we go from red, orange, green, purple, and finally, rainbow, worth 1, 3, 5,10, and 15 gems respectively. Each gem gives the player 100 Pts.
* Fruit - How many fruit shaped objects the player collects. These rarely appear, unless the player uses a cat with a high fruit chance. While they all have the same strawberry shape, they come in different colors. Different coloured fruits have different values attached to them. From smallest to largest, we go from pink, bronze, silver, and finally, gold, worth 1, 2, 6, and 10 fruits respectively. Each fruit gives the player 500 Pts.
* Pixies - How many winged cats the player keeps until their character dies. These occasionally appear in bubbles. A pixie can be used to give the player an extra bounce, although only one pixie can be used per jump from one platform to the next. For example, if a player uses their initial bounce and two mid-air bounces, they can only one pixie to bounce one more time, even if they have more stored. When a pixie is used, they disappear and are not counted into the score at the end of the player's run. Each pixie gives 300 Pts, and every three give one coin.
* Max Combo - How many groups of gems the player collects. Every group of gems collected adds one to a player's combo, or jump combo as they are described in the mission log. If a player collects only a part of the gem group, their combo ends and is reset to zero. However, if a player misses a group entirely, their combo is not affected, and the next group of gems they collect will just add one to their combo. The max combo is the player's best jump combo they achieved in that run, and it gives 100 Pts multiplied by their max combo. Every two jump combo's in the player's max combo gives one coin
* Score Bonus - All characters have a score bonus which can be upgraded in the character select menu. Each half star upgrade increases the player's score by 5%.
Dylan Bradford

## Powers, Skills & Abilities

For a while he looked normal.

Dylan is able to manipulate and control the weather through his psionic connection to air currents, water vapor, and natural electrical energy on both large and small scales.

Dylan has also demonstrated the ability to control natural forces that include cosmic storms; solar, wind, ocean current, and electromagnetic fields.

Dylan can alter his visual perceptions so as to see the universe in terms of energy patterns, detecting the flow of kinetic, thermal and electromagnetic energy behind weather phenomena and can bend this energy to his will.

Sand partridge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to navigationJump to search

 ***Ammoperdix heyi***
(Temminck, 1825)

The **sand partridge** (*Ammoperdix heyi*) is a gamebird in the pheasant family Phasianidae of the order Galliformes, gallinaceous birds.

This partridge has its main native range from Egypt and Israel east to south Arabia. It is closely related and similar to its counterpart in southeast Turkey and east to Pakistan, the see-see partridge, *Ammoperdix griseogularis*.

This 22–25 cm bird is a resident breeder in dry, open and often hilly country. It nests in a scantily lined ground scrape laying 5-7 eggs. The sand partridge takes a wide variety of seeds and some insect food.

## Description[edit]

The sand partridge is a rotund bird, mainly sandy-brown with wavy white and brown flank stripes. The male has a grey head with a white stripe in front of the eye and a white cheek patch. The neck sides are plain, and not speckled with white. The head pattern is the best distinction from see-see partridge.

The female is a very washed-out version of the male, and is more difficult to distinguish from its relative due to the weak head pattern.

When disturbed, sand partridge prefers to run rather than fly, but if necessary it flies a short distance on rounded wings. The song is a slurred *kwa-kwa-kwa*.
