“…Parakeets may also respond based on the locality of the call, which has been observed in rufous-collared sparrows (Zonotrichia capensis) (Danner et al, 2011), yellow-naped Amazons (Amazona auropalliata) (Wright & Dorin, 2001), and stonechats (Saxicola torquata) (Mortega, Flinks, & Helm, 2014). Moreover, monk parakeets exhibit unique vocal signatures in contact calls tied to individual identities, and these individual signatures are simpler in smaller nonnative range populations, which suggests that monk parakeets use contact calls to recognize distinct individuals (Smith-Vidaurre, Araya-Salas, & Wright, 2020;Smith-Vidaurre, Perez-Marrufo, & Wright, 2021). Therefore, it may be useful for researchers to explore behavioral responses to familiar or unfamiliar individuals to determine which calls may be best for management purposes.…”
