The shrinking of green areas in the cerrado can contribute to the migration of these animals to urban centers, as is happening in Goiânia, with the appearance of exotic bird species, some even considered at risk of extinction, leaving the woods and forests and migrating to urban centers.
For biologist and university professor Gláucio Freitas Oliveira e Silva, Goiânia has the perfect profile for these animals. “They need trees, especially palm trees, to nest. And in Goiânia we have a large number of these types of trees. The imperial palm, for example, which is an exotic tree species, serves as shelter and nest for these animals. Due to deforestation, they are being forced to abandon their natural environment, so they end up being quite successful here in the capital”, explains the biologist.
