#FashionFriday: when you dress up to match your pet parrot…

"The Duchess of Richmond and Her Pet Parrot, Westminster Abbey, 1875" by John Gerrard Keulemans (1842–1912) in Ornithological Miscellany Vol. 1 by George Dawson Rowley (1822-1878), London, 1876. This plate illustrates the wax figure of Frances Teresa Stewart (1647-1702), dressed in the outfit she wore to Queen Anne's Coronation, and the preserved body of her pet African Grey Parrot (Psittacus erithacus), her companion for some 40 years who also died soon after her passing. They are on display together at Westminster Abbey:

Genus: Teretistris

Teretistris Illustration (John Gerrard Keulemans)

Oriente Warbler (above) and Yellow-headed Warbler (below)

Referred to as the Cuban warblers, these two species (Oriente and Yellow-headed) are the only two members of their shared genus and family. They were originally included with wood-warblers, but were split out in 2002. While other birds removed from Parulidae due to this study were not surprising, these two birds were not expected to be. This original finding was supported by a 2013 study, but their placement within the songbird family tree is still a mystery. Their genus name comes from teretisma for 'whistling/twittering', likely referring to the jumbled, bouncing, and buzzy sound of their song.

Yellow-headed Warbler (Dominic Sherony)

Thank you 🐟

Oh, okay!! Here's a pink angelfish I've found not so long ago. It's pretty and cute :D

(couldn't find the authoe of this photo. There were too many websited without any info) Now the car one.. I don't really know much about cars, but hte first one that came to mind is the iconic Bumblebee Camaro from Transformers

(Wiki says that the author of this photo is chevrolet camaro)

And now, the bird!!

Kauaʻi ʻōʻō (Moho braccatus)  I chose this one because of the video I saw (the song of the last one of this kind of birds). It's really sad that these little guys are already extinct..

Alfred Russel Wallace, co-developer of the theory of evolution, was born #OTD 200 years ago (8 Jan. 1823 - 7 Nov. 1913). Here is his original sketch (1855) and published drawing (1869) of a frog previously unknown to science and now named in his honor, Wallace's Flying Frog (Rhacophorus nigropalmatus).

2. Original field study by Wallace from Borneo, 1855 [Alfed Russel Wallace Memorial Fund CC BY-NC-SA 4.0]

Published illustration in Wallace's book _The Malay archipelago : the land of the Orang-Utan, and the bird of paradise : a narrative of travel, with studies of man and nature_, 1869, p. 60. Engraving by John Gerrard Keulemans after an original drawing by Wallace. [BHL/CC-0]

Excerpt from Wallace's book The Malay Archipelago p. 59: “One of the most curious and interesting reptiles which I met with in Borneo was a large tree-frog, which was brought me by one of the Chinese workmen. He assured me that he had seen it come down, in a slanting direction, from a high tree, as if it flew."

And that's why it's better to say he was the first to scientifically describe a flying frog and not say he "discovered" it...and surely the Chinese worker who brought it to him wasn't the first to see one in action either, local Indigenous people likely knew about them for ages.

“The Owl”, Edward Thomas (1878-1917)

Downhill I came, hungry, and yet not starved; Cold, yet had heat within me that was proof Against the North wind; tired, yet so that rest Had seemed the sweetest thing under a roof. Then at the inn I had food, fire, and rest, Knowing how hungry, cold, and tired was I. All of the night was quite barred out except An owl’s cry, a most melancholy cry Shaken out long and clear upon the hill, No merry note, nor cause of merriment, But one telling me plain what I escaped And others could not, that night, as in I went. And salted was my food, and my repose, Salted and sobered, too, by the bird’s voice Speaking for all who lay under the stars, Soldiers and poor, unable to rejoice.

Morepork and Laughing-Owl, John Gerrard Keulemans, 1888
