Tanimbar Friarbird
Philemon plumigenis
The Tanimbar friarbird (Philemon plumigenis) is a species of bird in the family Meliphagidae. It is endemic to the Kai and Tanimbar Islands, Indonesia.
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
It was first described by the English ornithologist George Robert Gray in 1858 under the binomial name Tropidorhynchus plumigenis. The specific epithet is from the Latin pluma meaning plume and genis meaning cheeks.
The Tanimbar friarbird was split from the Buru friarbird that occurs on the island of Buru following the publication in 2007 of a study by Frank Rheindt and Robert Hutchinson.

Learning Birding with Birda
I’m relatively new to birding as a hobby, and Birda is a great way to keep track off all the species I see. I’m still working on my ID skills, but the app is great for figuring out potential species, and the online community is so friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend Birda to both early and serious birders! 🐦

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.

Just what birding needs
We need more fun in birding, for years it has had a reputation for being up tight and stuffy and only perused by retirees and anoraks. Birda helps change that perception and firmly brings birding into the 21st century! Fun, interactive while still contributing to science and conservation. If you aren’t on it, why not??

Birding and wellbeing app
Birda is an excellent platform to share your love of Birding and is a great tool of encouragement for a Birding Beginner like me. Birda has a very kind and supportive community of Birding enthusiasts. For me BIRDA is not only a BIRDING but also a WELLBEING App.
