莫島管舌雀學名Paroreomyza flammea),又名卡克威西管舌鳥,是已滅絕,分布於摩洛凱島上的森林中。由英國鳥類學家傑佛瑞·威爾森(Jeffrey A. Wilson)發現,為一隻雌鳥及兩隻雄鳥,並將這些標本帶回英國。

特徵

[编辑]

莫島管舌雀只有5吋半長,趾上有爪。雄鳥全身呈赤紅色,彷彿一團火焰。雌鳥的腹部呈淡褐色。牠們的叫聲像在遠處切斷木頭的聲音。

習性

[编辑]

莫島管舌雀像毛島管舌雀般會用其短而頓的喙在樹中啄出昆蟲。牠們主要吃甲蟲毛蟲,或者花蜜。牠們的巢是由苔蘚組成。牠們在樹間跳來跳去捕捉昆蟲吃時,就像一團火焰飛來飛去一般。

滅絕

[编辑]

莫島管舌雀於1963年絕種,可能是因失去棲息地、疾病及入侵的掠食者等所致。入侵的帶來了致命的疾病,包括家禽瘧疾及禽痘,會令莫島管舌鳥生病及長出疙瘩,最終令雀鳥痲痺及餓死。另外,莫島管舌鳥亦經常被殺,並摘下羽毛,作為貴族的身份象徵。

莫島管舌鳥最後於1963年被見到,另有指牠們生存至1970年代,但之後就肯定已經滅絕
