A very old scarlet Macaw nesting ground has been invaded by a small colony of ctenosaurs. Five adults, one very large male and four females sleep in the nest and fight off the two macaws who have tried in vane to reclaim it.
At this point I am documenting and photographing See the Macaws album on Flickr here it to document their behaviors and studying the situation to develop a relocation strategy.
Currently feeding fruit scraps to accustom the Ctenosaurs to a cage and fatten them up so they don’t fit the nest site comfortably.
