Tucuman Amazon

• It makes seasonal altitudinal movements within the yungas: it moves up and down in elevation following the ripening of alder and pino del cerro seed, rather than migrating horizontally like other birds.
• Argentina was exporting tens of thousands of birds a year in the 1980s for the pet trade, before the species entered the international protection lists.
