We report records of Eurasian Collared-Dove (Streptopelia decaocto), Monk Parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus), and Orange-fronted Parakeet (Eupsittula canicularis), in the estuaries and floodplains of the Important Bird Area ‘Humedales de Alvarado’, Veracruz, from 2011 to 2014. Both exotic Parakeets were observed in mixed flocks with native Olive-throated Parakeet (Eupsittula nana). These species can out compete for resources with native birds andneed to be monitored. Both S. decaocto and M. monachus are successfulinvaders in many urban areas of Mexico.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
