Description
Habitat
Biome: Terrestrial
Ecology: It inhabits mature
broadleaved forests
, generally between 600-1,800 m
(maximum altitude
2,200 m), but locally down
to 150 m.
It nests
(usually March-June) in tall, wide-girthed trees
. Evidence suggests that some populations make seasonal movements between forested areas in response to variations
in the abundance
of fruiting trees.[1]
