Growth and survival of nestlings in a population of red-crowned parakeets (Cyanoramphus novaezelandiae) free of introduced mammalian nest predators on Tiritiri Matangi Island, New Zealand

Describes the pattern of growth and survival of red-crowned parakeet nestlings in relation to natural levels of hatching asynchrony on Tiritiri Matangi Island, where no introduced mammalian nest predators persist. Analyses the patterns of hatching and survival, and sex-specific growth of nestlings in relation to clutch initiation date and natural levels of hatching asynchrony. Explores the relationships of nestling sex and hatching rank on survival.
