Little is known about the life expectancy of Andean birds. The Tit-like Dacnis Xenodacnis parina, distributed in Ecuador and Peru, is an Andean specialist found in patches of Polylepis characterized by the presence of Gynoxys shrubs. Several individuals were color banded at Cajas National Park in 2010. Three banded birds were recorded at the same locality 7 years after being banded. This study provides the first information on territory fidelity, social behavior, and longevity for the species, briefly evaluating the impact of road-killings. This information might prove important to support conservation actions for X. parina.
