Notes: |
Birds were kept in large outdoor aviaries that allowed them to see and hear wild parrots.1 bird from Blanquilla was killed and eaten by a Boa constrictor and another Blanquilla parrot was killed when hawks reached through the wire mesh on the aviary. The remaining 12 birds were kept until the release date in which one of the upper front panels of the Margarita parrot aviary was removed to let parrots leave spontaneously. For 15 days after release, food was offered twice daily near the aviary. Then, supplemental food was offered once daily and after a month, all supplementary food was eliminated. MONITORING: parrots monitored until August 1993, but one parrot could still be tracked in October 1993. POSTRELEASE SURVIVAL: at a minimum, 10/12 (83.3%) survived the first year after reintroduction. 2 of the Margarita birds without radio could not be located after release.
