Abstract

In this study, the behavior of Q. mexicanus was recorded through observations from July to October 2020. The observations period was from 7:00 to 10:00 a.m. and from 2:00 a.m. at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET). During this study we were able to describe 29 specific behaviors that are grouped into nine main functional categories. These categories will be used to construct an ethogram that we hope will be useful to improve our knowledge about the behavior of Q. mexicanus, a bird that practically coexists with humans in the Republic of Panama.
