Paper on breeding performance of the Lear's Macaw in the wild

I was recently sent a paper on the breeding performance of the Lear's Macaw in the wild. I was interested to read the comparison with other macaw species. The Lear's macaw has been quite prolific in captivity and it appears it is also prolific in the wild. This lies behind the increase of population in the wild once the corn replacement programme was in place, which persuaded local farmers not to shoot the macaws foraging in their corn plantations.  The paper has been uploaded to the Blue Macaws website and can be read under "Lear's Macaws in the wild".
