Wakolo Myzomela

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.

Habitat

The Wakolo myzomela is a denizen of the lush subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It also finds solace in the unique ecosystems of subtropical or tropical mangrove forests and the cooler climes of subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.

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.
