Seasonal variation in abundance of Blue-crowned Conures (Aratinga acuticaudata) at the Chancani Reserve, Córdoba, Argentina

Abstract

We recorded the annual variation in abundance of Blue-crowned Conures (Aratinga acuticaudata) at the Chancaní Reserve, Córdoba, Argentina. This parrot was more frequently recorded during the breeding season (August, October and December) than in the non-breeding season (March and May), possibly because of movements to more suitable feeding areas. The Chancani Reserve, a mature Chaco woodland, could be a source habitat that keeps populations stable at the regional level, as it provides suitable nest cavities, scarce in the surrounding agropastoral landscapes.
