Article Synopsis
- Annual patterns of fecal corticoid excretion were studied in the Red-tailed parrot, showing lowest levels in May and highest in September, correlating with their breeding period.
- Corticoid levels appear more linked to reproductive cycles than climate, although climate may influence timing.
- Fecal corticoid measurements are an effective method for assessing stress and adrenocortical activity in both captive and potentially wild parrots.
