Java lathe increasingly rare bird.

If you look at the physical appearance of birds lathe java / Javan Coucal (Centropus nigrorufus), you might think of bird species including predators such as hawks. Although red eyes, with a large body posture, and form part grim, Java is not the type lathe raptors or birds of prey. These birds are insectivorous and are included in the family Cuculidae. What kind of bird condition lathe java today?

Birds lathe Java is endemic birds on the island of Java. Great posture, with a length of about 46 cm. Shiny black body color, ranging from head, back, beak, legs, and tail. Only the wings are red-rust, and red iris.

Java Tool females have larger body size than males. But regardless of sex of birds is still difficult, if there is no comparison of two different types of birds. Because the physical appearance of male and female birds are relatively the same.

Despite the frightening appearance such as predatory birds, with a strong beak and large, lathe Java is insectivorous birds. Insects such as grasshoppers preferred, large butterflies, caterpillars, crickets, beetles, and dragonflies.

In addition to insects, they also like snails, centipedes, bird chicks, frogs, small snakes, to small rodents like mice. In the wild, Java lathe not coexist with other lathe bird species, due to differences in habitat.

Breeding bird java lathe. 

Based on the results of the 1997 study, bird breeding season lathe java occurred in January and March. They will nest in a nest that was built using the leaves of the fern (Acrostichium) located on the edge of a river or swamp.

Nests are usually placed about 3-6 feet above the water at mangrove forest. There are differences in the data on the number of eggs produced by the female bird java lathe.

According to Bartels & Hellebrekers, the female parent only produce 1-3 eggs in each spawning period (clutch). However, according to Birdlife International, the number of eggs of this bird can reach 3-5 eggs per clutch.

If the opinion of Bartels & Hellebrekers true, then this is one reason why The World Conservation Union (IUCN) now incorporate lathe Java to the list of endangered birds, with the status of Vulnerable (Vulnerable).

Admittedly, most of the endemic birds on the island of Java facing life's problems are very crucial. The rapid pace of development in Java, surpassing other areas, making millions of hectares of the forest area lost due to land conversion, and destruction unresolved.

As a result, residents generally endemic bird loses its natural food source, and most of the dead. When the rate of population growth of Java lathe is very low, only 1-3 spawn points (Bartels & Hellebrekers version), would further reduce the number of populations in the wild.

Unfortunately, cases of illegal hunting is also one of the causes of the depletion of the population of Java lathe. Worse, poaching is not to meet the bird market. Not much chirping mania that has Java lathe at home. Then, to what this bird hunted and arrested?

Apparently, the bird lathe Java (also other types of lathe) arrested not to be maintained, but rather to take the oil. That said, this lathe oil is believed to have medicinal properties, particularly helpful in the healing of broken bones.

That makes us more sad, the manufacturing process requires a lathe oil herbal leaves in wild birds lathe was used instead of Java in building the nest. So, the bird decoy bird not only take it, but also the nest.

Various conditions were not conducive bird makes the existence of Java lathe increasingly rare in its habitat, both in the mangrove forests (mangroves) and marsh vegetation in northern and southern coast of Java.

Currently, Java lathe bird can only be found in limited quantities in Ujung Kulon, Indramayu, Karawang, Segara Puppies (Cilacap), Muara Brantas, Lumajang, and Semarang.

This bird even more difficult to find in Jakarta. As the depletion of open green areas in the capital city, is also diminishing bird populations lathe Java (also kites). Lathe only remaining Javan Muara Angke Conservation Area, it continues to shrink due to poaching and the slow regeneration of mangrove forests, water pollution, and development pressures around the conservation area.

In some bird markets in Java, sometimes we still can find birds lathe, but of another type of lathe reeds (Centropus bengalensis) and a large lathe (Centropus sinensis).

Birds big lathe and lathe reeds have a more secure populations, because the area is not limited distribution in Java, but also in Sumatra (including Nias and Mentawai), Borneo, and Bali.

Some fans are definitely interested in nurturing exotic bird bird lathe, regarding types of raptors. Most of the songs of mania may also curious about the sound of the booms, so that they were lured to buy when the bird saw it in the market.

However, many of them were disappointed. Therefore, after a few days maintained, bird character is not at all like a hawk. Even her voice is less pleasing to the ear, thus released into the wild.

Hopefully after reading this article, no more chirping of exotic birds mania and enthusiasts who want to buy a bird lathe, lathe either Java, a large lathe, or lathe reeds. Leave them in the wild, because it's useless maintained.

Better we choose a bird that has a clear voice booms, and popular among the chirping of mania, and hopefully buy them from breeding in their respective areas.
