Of the 9 occupied nest boxes by Blue- throated Macaws (table 2 & annex 2), 8 were located in the Laney Rickman Reserve (fig. 6) and 1 in the La Cantina ranch. A total of 25 eggs were produced, 15 chicks hatched, of which 12 chicks successfully fledged. A


total of 5 breeding individuals were ringed, fledged from Armonía’s nest boxes in previous years. Three of the 9 occupied Blue- throated Macaw nest boxes have been used by Blue-throated Macaws in previous years, indicating favorable breeding conditions.
