Abstract
We studied home range and movements of 15 radio-marked, juvenile Puerto Rican parrots (Amazona vittata) fledging from wild nest during summer and fall, 1985-87. When juvenile parrots remained in the nest valley, home ranges during 1986 (x=32±10 [SE] ha, n=4) were larger (P=0.0079) than during 1987 (x=13±6 ha, n=5). After radio-marked parrots integrated into adult flocks, home ranges during 1986 (x=1,075±135 ha, n=3) were similar (P=0.10) to 1987 (x=416±62 ha, n=2). Juvenile marrots restricted their movements to nest valleys an average of 58±29 days following fledging. After joining adult flocks, juvenile parrots routinely flew between the east and west slopes of the Luquillo Mountains but did not exhibit a seasonal pattern of movement
