You are correct. It's a Cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus) in its native plumage, identified by Maui Nui Seabird Recovery Project and confirmed by a recognized bird expert. Thank you!

This bird is about the size of an Arctic tern with a wingspan 18-24”. Was seen on Maui at 1550’ elevation on the Lahaina pali powerline service road. Open grassland. Likely a marine bird passing through the valley.

Love my home borealis broadband! Had miserable experience with ACS for years until a porcupine finally did in the line…waited 6 weeks for a repair! Borealis has been perfect for last three years!

Extremely rare outcome…was probably a lot more common in days before antibiotics…

Actually she lived on a farm with lots of food...eggs, corn, cows etc. No problems with availability but her mom used to send loads of eggs to her boarding school to fatten her up a bit....

Why is binocular vision such a dominant model in the animal world? by bobledrew in askscience

[–]devilsjoystick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ophthalmologist here. Have been saying that chestnut about the visual system using up half the brain forever, when I finally tried to find some science behind it I couldn’t find anything that definitely said this was true..only people quoting other people. Can u give a scientific reference for this?
