The diet of Monk Parakeet Myiopsitta monachus nestlings in an urban area: a study using stable isotopes
ABSTRACT Capsule: Previous observations in Barcelona and other cities showed that approximately 40% of the food ingested by adult Monk Parakeets Myiopsitta monachus is of anthropogenic origin. Here we show that this type of food source is also used for feeding nestlings. Aims: To quantify the proportion of anthropogenic food within the diet of nestling Monk Parakeets, a non-native species in Barcelona. Methods: We analysed stable isotopes of 13C and 15N in feathers of Monk Parakeet nestlings collected in the Barcelona city area. We also sampled potential food sources ingested by Monk Parakeets to reconstruct the nestling diet using Bayesian mixing models with MixSIAR. Results: Almost 30% of the nestlings’ diet was composed of anthropogenic food. Conclusions: Since food availability is a major factor regulating population growth, we propose educating the general public to reduce the food supply for the species and ultimately limit its population growth.
期刊介绍:
Bird Study publishes high quality papers relevant to the sphere of interest of the British Trust for Ornithology: broadly defined as field ornithology; especially when related to evidence-based bird conservation. Papers are especially welcome on: patterns of distribution and abundance, movements, habitat preferences, developing field census methods, ringing and other techniques for marking and tracking birds.
Bird Study concentrates on birds that occur in the Western Palearctic. This includes research on their biology outside of the Western Palearctic, for example on wintering grounds in Africa. Bird Study also welcomes papers from any part of the world if they are of general interest to the broad areas of investigation outlined above.
Bird Study publishes the following types of articles:
-Original research papers of any length
-Short original research papers (less than 2500 words in length)
-Scientific reviews
-Forum articles covering general ornithological issues, including non-scientific ones
-Short feedback articles that make scientific criticisms of papers published recently in the Journal.
