| Résumé : | We have started the first in-depth study into the behaviour of Ruppell's Parrot in the wild. Here we provide the initial results with information on its breeding biology, diet and use of natural and artificial water pools in northern Namibia. A variety of predators are listed, the terrestrial and arboreal ones causing complete losses at some nests. Illegal trade is the major threat to this species. |
