Did you know... that although the Collared Lory is only found in Fiji today, fossil evidence shows that it once existed in Tonga and was extirpated by human settlers?

The statement It is the only Fijian rainforest bird to adapt to urban landscapes and can be found in urban Suva. could use some citing. If only because I have seen Wattled Honeyeaters and Fiji Parrotfinches in downtown Nadi and many other species in slightly urbanised areas like villages.

i'll fish out the exact reference tonight. i am not familar with fiji birds but with some books am happy we can improve in an area with very little online coverage. Cheers, Casliber (talk·contribs) 04:42, 30 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
Yes, I definitely have issues with that statement, Vanikoro Flycatcher, Wattled Honeyeater, Fiji Woodswallow, Fiji Parrotfinch, Collared Kingfisher, Red Shining-Parrot were all seen in urban areas recently. Avicedatalk05:51, 30 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
