Resumo
Em ambientes de cativeiro, psittaciformes, como papagaios e araras, muitas vezes desenvolvem comportamentos repetitivos, conhecidos como estereotipias. Esses comportamentos incluem movimentos de cabeça, balanços, bicadas no ar e outros padrões de comportamento anormais, que podem ser indicativos de bem-estar prejudicado e estresse crônico. Este estudo se concentra na aplicação do enriquecimento ambiental como uma estratégia de tratamento eficaz para reduzir as estereotipias em psittaciformes mantidos em cativeiro. O enriquecimento ambiental envolve a introdução de elementos e atividades que estimulam a mente e o corpo das aves, fornecendo desafios físicos, cognitivos e sensoriais. Isso inclui a disponibilização de brinquedos variados, a criação de áreas de exploração, a introdução de tarefas de forrageamento, entre outras estratégias. O estudo destaca a necessidade de considerar o enriquecimento ambiental como uma prática fundamental na gestão de populações de psittaciformes em cativeiro, promovendo seu bem-estar físico e emocional, através de revisão bibliográfica sobre o tema. Além disso, enfatiza a importância de mais pesquisas e a implementação de enriquecimentos ambientais eficazes e específicos na criação e manutenção adequada dessas aves em cativeiro.
In captive environments, psittacines, such as parrots and macaws, often develop repetitive behaviors, known as stereotypies. These behaviors include head movements, swaying, air pecking, and other abnormal behavioral patterns, which can be indicative of impaired well-being and chronic stress. This study focuses on the application of environmental enrichment as an effective treatment strategy to reduce stereotypies in psittacines kept in captivity. Environmental enrichment involves the introduction of elements and activities that stimulate the minds and bodies of the birds, providing physical, cognitive, and sensory challenges. This includes the provision of various toys, the creation of exploration areas, and the introduction of foraging tasks, among other strategies. The study emphasizes the need to consider environmental enrichment as a fundamental practice in the management of psittacine populations in captivity, promoting their physical and emotional well-being, through a literature review on the topic. Furthermore, it underscores the importance of further research and the implementation of effective and specific environmental enrichments in the proper breeding and maintenance of these birds in captivity.
