Environmental enrichment on the behavior and welfare of cockatiels (Nymphicus hollandicus) ; Enriquecimento ambiental no comportamento e no bem-estar de calopsitas (Nymphicus hollandicus)
This study evaluated the influence of physical environmental enrichment on the behavior of cockatiels (Nymphicus hollandicus). Eighteen birds, nine males and nine females, were monitored in environments enriched with wooden sticks and bead rings and in non-enriched environments, in a completely randomized design. Behavioral categories were grouped into locomotion, maintenance, rest, feed, undesirable activities, and interaction with environmental enrichment. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis of behaviors to produce the ethogram and percentage comparison of frequency values for beha... Mehr ...

This study evaluated the influence of physical environmental enrichment on the behavior of cockatiels (Nymphicus hollandicus). Eighteen birds, nine males and nine females, were monitored in environments enriched with wooden sticks and bead rings and in non-enriched environments, in a completely randomized design. Behavioral categories were grouped into locomotion, maintenance, rest, feed, undesirable activities, and interaction with environmental enrichment. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis of behaviors to produce the ethogram and percentage comparison of frequency values for behavior analysis. Environmental enrichment positively influenced behavioral categories and some behavioral activities of birds. ; Objetivou-se, com o presente trabalho, avaliar a influência do enriquecimento ambiental físico sobre o comportamento de calopsitas (Nymphicus hollandicus). Foram monitoradas 18 aves, sendo nove machos e nove fêmeas, em ambientes enriquecidos com tocos de madeira e argola de miçangas e sem enriquecimento ambiental. O delineamento foi inteiramente ao acaso. As categorias comportamentais foram agrupadas em locomoção, manutenção, repouso, alimentação, atividades indesejáveis e interação com o enriquecimento ambiental. Os dados foram examinados por meio da análise descritiva dos comportamentos para elaboração do etograma e comparação percentual das frequências observadas para análise dos comportamentos. Foi observada influência positiva do enriquecimento ambiental sobre as categorias comportamentais e algumas atividades comportamentais das aves.
