🚨New Research!
Do nest boxes breed the target species or do they just help its competitors?
We looked at this question for swift #parrots to see if nest boxes are a good long term conservation strategy.
Read it here👇

A quick thread (1/10)
(2/10) Tree hollows suitable for swift parrots are extremely rare (and are becoming rarer because of logging).

Nest boxes are a popular conservation option to compensate for rare hollows.

But swift parrots compete with 2 birds for hollows and boxes: tree martins and starlings
(3/10) Tree martins are a small native bird that nest in the hollows and boxes used by parrots - since they're subordinate to parrots, we don't mind if they use boxes, but their nests fill up the boxes, creating cleaning work for managers

Last year we trialled smart eggs for #kakapo for the first time. Developed by the @docgovtnz electronics team and supported by @MeridianEnergy, these eggs make chick noises, to give the nesting mother a cue that a chick is on the way. #conservationtech #conservation A kākāpō on a nest with one...A kākāpō ‘smart egg’.
We usually remove #kakapo eggs and incubate them artificially, putting a dummy in the nest. But we’ve found that the mother gets the chick back, she often doesn’t feed it well for the first few days. So we have to feed at the nest, which is difficult and risky. #conservationtech ImageImage
We suspect it’s because the dummy egg is inert. Real eggs ‘pip’ a day or so before hatching - that’s the chick vocalising. We think the mother hears this and readies herself to feed the chick. #kakapo #conservationtech #conservation
