Journal Title: Revista MVZ Cordoba - Year 2013, Vol 18, Issue 1

Abstract

Objetive. The entrance dynamics of family Psittacidae to the Wildlife Attention and Valuation Center (CAV - CVS) was determined. Materials and methods. Data were obtained between 2007 to 2009. A frequency analysis for the variables species, entrance type and time (months and years) was implemented. For the variable months an analysis of mean difference was applied and the relationship entrance of the species versus the months of the year by means of a stripplot was presented. Results. The Family Psittacidae presented 58% of the total of birds that entered the CAV-CVS, samples collected from public markets and highways of the department of Córdoba. The species with more entrance frequency was Brotogeris jugularis, with 73.99% of the total of individuals, being that specie the one that obtained higher entrances throughout the year. Significant differences in incoming samples per month (X2=26.785, df=11, p=0.004951), were also detected. Conclusions. The dry season, confluent with festivities in the department, presented the highest values of incomings to the center.
