Notes:  |
Experiment to see if captive-reared birds could cope with transition to wild. One bird died when transmitter became entangled in vines at an unspecified time (it may have been earlier or later than 1 year). Chicks were treated with anthelminthics before release, so they lack the endo- & ecto- parasites of mainland birds.
