How to fill in the ‘What did you see?’ (his question is found at the top left-hand side of the ‘Add an Observation’ page)
The best way to fill in this part of the observation, is dependent on the photos you add to the observation:
What does captive/cultivated mean?
Checking captive/cultivated means that the observation is of an organism that exists in the time and place it was observed because humans intended it to be then and there. Likewise, wild/naturalized organisms exist in particular times and places because they intended to do so.
Captive/cultivated
o zebra in a zoo
o poppy in a garden
o butterfly mounted in a display case
o your cat
o garden plant/tree that was planted there by the gardener
Wild / naturalized
o zebra in the Serengeti (assuming it's not in a zoo in the Serengeti)
o weed in a garden
o butterfly that flew into your house

We have Rainbow Lorikeets every summer in Bardon, Brisbane when the flowers are out on 1. The Blue Quandong, Elaeocarpus grandis, 2. Umbrella Tree, Heptapleurum actinophyllum, which has recently been cut down and on 3. Queen's Palm, Syagrus romanzoffiana. I am not sure of the latter species but what is interesting is that when the Rainbow lorikeets and Scaly-breasted lorikeets have finished feeding in the daytime, the Flying Foxes take over at night. Knowing the propensity for these to carry nasty neurological viruses that might be something to look at. Cheers Tim
Thank you for your comment @ttimm and providing this list of plant species. Happy Rainbow Lorikeet Spotting!
