Behavioral plasticity of a threatened parrot in human-modified landscapes

► We evaluated plasticity in ranging and roosting behaviors of the Yellow-naped Amazon in two human-altered landscapes. ► The magnitude of ranging and roosting behavior was more pronounced in the ranching region, with dispersed vegetation. ► The farming region, where resources were concentrated, showed the inverse pattern. ► Individuals translocated between these regions showed plasticity in these behaviors. ► Our results illustrate a generalized plastic response to human induced changes in habitat for a number of behavioral traits.
