Author's comments:
Fue filmada la hembra, muy arisca lo que indica que ya habían intentado cazarla. El número de individuos residentes de esta especie es escaso en la región, los motivos de su rareza son la caza ilegal y la destrucción de ambientes naturales. El nido con 11 (¿ó 12?) huevos estaba en un hueco cubierto por ramas a 1,8 m de alto en el tronco de un eucalipto muy antiguo. El calibre está puesto de referencia, no se tocó a los huevos y nos alejamos rápidamente del nido.
