RRP_VLAANDEREN - Rose-ringed parakeets (Psittacula krameri) breeding in Ghent (Belgium)

RRP_VLAANDEREN - Rose-ringed parakeets (Psittacula krameri, Psittaculidae) breeding in Flanders (Belgium) is a bird tracking dataset published by the Centre for Research on Ecology, Cognition and Behaviour of Birds at Ghent University and the Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO). It contains animal tracking data for the project/study RRP_VLAANDEREN, using trackers developed by Druid (https://druid.tech). The study has been operational since 2025. One individual of rose-ringed parakeet (Psittacula krameri) was tagged as a test in 2025 and eighteen in 2026 (not yet included). The main goal of the study is to determine the home-range sizes in urban environments, seasonal dynamics in home-ranges, habitat selection, foraging behavior and foraging site choice. Data are automatically synced with Movebank and from there periodically archived on Zenodo (see https://github.com/inbo/bird-tracking). Files Data in this package are exported from Movebank study 9343041295. Fields in the data follow the Movebank Attribute Dictionary and are described in datapackage.json. Files are structured as a Frictionless Data Package. You can access all data in R via https://zenodo.org/records/23564124/files/datapackage.json using frictionless. datapackage.json: technical description of the data files. RRP_VLAANDEREN-reference-data.csv: reference data about the animals, tags and deployments. RRP_VLAANDEREN-gps-yyyy.csv.gz: GPS data recorded by the tags, grouped by year.
