Provide artificial nesting sites for parrots
A replicated study in 2006-7 at five montane sites in Colombia (Salaman et al. 2006) found that yellow-eared parrots Ognorhynchus icterotis rarely used artificial nest boxes provided, with one box occupied in 2006 and one in 2007, raising two fledglings each. A total of 42 nest boxes were built and hung 10-20 m above ground on Quindío wax palms Ceroxylum quindiuense lacking suitable nest cavities. Boxes were wooden and hexagonal, with 140 x 20 cm sites and a 10 cm entrance hole, with grooves inside to allow parrots to climb out.
