IBANEZ, Lucía M; GIRINI, Juan M; PALACIO, Facundo X  y  MONTALTI, Diego. Nidificación y alimentación de psittácidos introducidos en el noreste de la provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Hornero [online]. 2014, vol.29, n.1, pp.13-22. ISSN 0073-3407.

Nesting and feeding of parrots in northeastern Buenos Aires Province, Argentina In Argentina most parrot species are declining in their natural range and many species were moved to other areas by illegal traffic. In this way they were introduced in Buenos Aires city and surrounding areas where they are expanding. We recorded the presence of parrots in the Pereyra Iraola Park, northeastern Buenos Aires Province, between July 2010 and January 2012. We found 26 cavities used for nesting by parrots. We recorded data of these cavities and plant species on which parrots feed. We recorded flocks of Monk Parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus), Reddish-bellied Parakeet (Pyrrhura frontalis), Scaly-headed Parrot (Pionus maximiliani), Mitred Parakeet (Aratinga mitrata), White-eyed Parakeet (Aratinga leucophthalmus), Turquoise-fronted Amazon (Amazona aestiva) and Alder Amazon (Amazona tucumana), and an individual of Golden-collared Macaw (Propyrrhura auricollis). Six of these species (Monk Parakeet, Reddish-bellied Parakeet, Scaly-headed Parrot, Mitred Parakeet, White-eyed Parakeet, Turquoise-fronted Amazon) were seen nesting in the area. All plant species used for nesting and feeding were exotics. Plant formations present in the park have allowed at least five species of parrots colonize a habitat scarcely exploited by other species.
