| Résumé : | We generated a generalised growth curve for the Brown-headed Parrot Poicephalus cryptoxanthus. The growth model correlated well with the data from captive-bred chicks and should be used by ecologists and aviculturists to monitor the health of chicks, parental performance or disease and parasitism. |
