RELEASE DATE: not known. The purpose of this release was to determine the predictive value of pre-release behavior. Thus, captive chicks were divided into the following groups: 14 hand reared with intensive human contact, 20 hand reeared with intensive human contact and predator training, and 20 hand reared with minimal human contact. Those in the last group were raised with puppets. POST RELEASE MONITORING: survival to the beginning of the annual breeding season, at the end of the following February was taken as the cut off point because captive males ahve displayed and females have laid eggs in their first year. 14 had died from predation, 16 died from unknown causes and were withdraw, 5 went missing, and 14 were still alive. Since the release date is not known in 1995, it is unknown how far February of the next year was.
