Myzomela wakoloensis

The Wakolo myzomela, known scientifically as Myzomela wakoloensis, is a captivating bird species belonging to the Meliphagidae family. This avian wonder graces us with its presence exclusively in the enchanting Moluccan Islands of Buru and Seram in Indonesia.

Identification Tips

When observing the Wakolo myzomela, one can distinguish adult males by their striking plumage, while adult females and juveniles may require a keener eye to identify due to their more subdued coloration.

Distribution

This species is endemic to Indonesia, with its distribution confined to the Moluccan Islands of Buru and Seram, offering a splendid example of nature's selectivity in the art of habitation.

Conservation status

The IUCN Red List has classified the Wakolo myzomela as Least Concern, indicating that, for now, this species graces our world in reassuring numbers. However, one must remain vigilant to ensure its continued survival amidst an ever-changing environment.

Really great app

It’s easy to use and it’s fun to log the birds you notice on a walk or just in your garden. There’s a option to record the birds you see in a session which is really nice. Good excuse to stop for a while and just watch birds. I am also enjoying the information part where you can find out fact about birds from all over the world.

Clean and easy to use

Really enjoying this app, it's clean and easy to use. I love the ease of being able to add those one-off birds without starting a whole checklist. I also like the social aspect, like the parts of my Facebook I like, without the ads and junk, just birds. Can't wait to see it become more populated.
