My project sought to address major gaps in our understanding of L. branickii ecology, reproductive behavior, and natural history. Specifically, I aimed to: 1. Conduct a full-breeding season reproductive biology study in Ecuador to gain a better understanding of parakeet nest site selection and breeding biology, and; 2. Identify how Golden-plumed Parakeets utilize habitat in nest sites through vegetation surveys and behavioral observation.
