El Nuevo Día toured the Iguaca Aviary, which continues to repopulate the El Yunque Nationwide Forest after Hurricane Maria, which practically worn out these endemic birds. [See full article and a photo gallery at El Nuevo Día] Adriana Díaz Tirado experiences:
In a wild nest—created by biologists and positioned 70 toes above the bottom—two Puerto Rican parrot eggs remained protected. One among them had been laid early Tuesday morning. These future chicks, with inexperienced and turquoise wings, might be a part of the wild group that may proceed to repopulate the El Yunque Nationwide Forest [Bosque Nacional El Yunque], which already has a historic variety of at the least 75 birds of this endangered species.
“From scratch (after Hurricane Maria), we brought the free-roaming population in El Yunque to the highest level in the entire history of the program,” mentioned Thomas White, accountable for captive-to-wild releases from the Iguaca Aviary of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) on this municipality.
“They’re there. They’re going in now,” introduced the wildlife biologist seconds earlier than a pair of parrots entered their residence. Utilizing a wi-fi digital camera contained in the nest, the wild feminine was noticed getting into first. Barely two seconds later, the male, who was born in captivity and stays with a radio transmitter for identification, entered. The chicken arrived with meals to feed his mate, who was born and raised within the wild. Beak to beak, they shared small mouthfuls of meals. The feminine gave start to 3 chicks final yr, and this nesting season is already getting ready to increase the household of the Amazona vittata, the species’ scientific title.
“That’s our work every day. There are many details, science, genetics, and population management, and strategic planning. They are key to these achievements,” mentioned White, who’s passionate concerning the iguacas, the Taíno title for parrots.
In 1954, when the primary research of the parrot was carried out, it was estimated there have been round 200 in El Yunque. By the Nineteen Seventies, solely 13 remained. “It was their lowest point. It was an emergency because they were on the verge of extinction,” mentioned White, contained in the social cage for these endemic birds. Confronted with this actuality, the Puerto Rican Parrot Restoration Program was established in 1972. The next yr, the primary aviary for this species opened in El Yunque, within the Luquillo space. [. . .]
Grandchildren of a [Hurricane] Maria Survivor
Greater than 4 many years after the creation of the Restoration Program, between 55 and 57 parrots remained in El Yunque, due to the onerous work and analysis of USFWS biologists. Nevertheless, solely two parrots survived Hurricane Maria in September 2017.
In the course of the restoration program at El Yunque, USFWS workers discovered the stays of a number of the parrots. “It was difficult to see so many years of work and progress, since we had started releasing them in 2000. When Maria hit, 20 years of progress were lost in a single day,” White mentioned in the course of the tour.
Hope was revived when “a pair arrived at the aviary that had been released two to three years before” the cyclone. “The female disappeared because a guaraguao [redtailed hawk or Buteo jamaicensis] ate her. The male was then alone; we captured and kept him. In 2020, when we began releasing again after Hurricane Maria, the male was part of the first group released,” White mentioned.
The survivor paired up with one other parrot, nested, and fledged alongside three chicks within the first yr of launch. “My eyes water when I speak about this because it was so symbolic,” he mentioned, mentioning that the parrot now has grandchildren who fledged final yr.
The second technology has already had two fledged chicks and is starting to nest once more to put new eggs this season, which started proper on the finish of February. “The wild population is not only growing because of the released groups, but also because of its own strength,” the federal official emphasised after 26 years working in El Yunque.
Challenges of the Amazona vittata
For the wildlife biologist, the primary and authentic problem that prompted this species to fall into hazard of extinction was deforestation in Puerto Rico. He recalled that, on the finish of the nineteenth century and the primary half of the twentieth century, the island was largely deforested to make use of the land for agriculture and urbanization.
“In terms of native factors, the greatest threat is the guaraguao, which is its number one predator. The key is to have a sufficiently large and established population so that, if a guaraguao comes, they can see it and protect themselves. Experience makes them smarter. The more parrots there are, the more trained the population is. They have more eyes, and they protect one another other because they are very social beings,” he defined. As well as, the researcher warned of an “emerging problem” in western Puerto Rico with the boa constrictor, an invasive species that’s dangerous to the endemic fauna. In Maricao, “they have lost several parrots to this exotic boa,” he lamented. [. . .]
“For the reproduction of any species, the ideal is to have a self-sufficient population that doesn’t require human intervention. We’re a long way from that, but that is our goal,” he added.
One of many methods of the Restoration Mission, in partnership with the Division of Pure and Environmental Sources, has been to disperse the parrot inhabitants between El Yunque, the Río Abajo State Forest [Bosque Estatal de Río Abajo], between Utuado and Arecibo, and the Maricao State Forest [Bosque Estatal de Maricao].
