Buru Monarch

Symposiachrus loricatus

The Buru monarch (Symposiachrus loricatus) is a captivating bird species belonging to the Monarchidae family. It is a creature that is entirely endemic to the lush landscapes of Indonesia, where it flutters and thrives.

Identification Tips

This species exhibits a plumage that is characteristic of the monarchs, with subtle variations that distinguish it from its relatives. While the adult and immature birds may differ in their feathering, each stage of life has its own unique beauty.

Habitat

The Buru monarch is a denizen of the southern Moluccas, where it prefers the verdant embrace of subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, as well as the cooler climes of subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.

Distribution

This bird is not a wanderer of wide-ranging skies but is instead confined to the Indonesian archipelago, where it has carved out a niche for itself.

Status

With a stable population exceeding 10,000 individuals and a territory spanning more than 20,000 km², the Buru monarch is currently not considered threatened. It is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, a testament to its resilience in its natural habitat.

Conservation Status

The Buru monarch is fortunate to be listed as Least Concern, indicating that, for now, it stands strong against the tide of extinction that threatens so many other species.

Great bird recording
For a while I’ve been trying to find an app to easily record bird lists and day out and struggled to find one that I like. Birda is great for this, straightforward and a great community!

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! 🐦

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??
