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.

Great app for bird lovers
I love this app! It’s a wonderful way to track birding sessions, and also connect you with fellow birders. I also really like the unidentified bird section, it’s a great community tool to help figure out what a never-before-seen bird is!

Simply fantastic
I love this app, it puts so much fun into recording the birds I’ve seen and heard while I’m out and about. The interface is user-friendly and suitable for all ages. It’s great to collect badges and to review my “lists”.

I’ve had a passion of photographing birds for a long time now but have only just gotten into proper birdwatching, and this app is brilliant for those just getting started. There is a great sense of community among users and the app is very easy to use and professional. Awesome app altogether

The best bird logging app
Birda is honestly the best bird logging app I have seen. I love all the features it has from being able to do a session and log all the birds you see in one sitting, to being able to connect with other birders from all over the globe!

Easy to use and accurate
Love this app. It is easy to use and accurate, Their backup communication is really good. I noted a missing species. All through the process, I was kept informed about the progress in correcting the information. I now have the corrected, updated version. 😁 Thanks!
