Invariably the birds are rewarded with small food items (rather than other kinds of reward such as water or an opportunity to see or hear a conspeci®c); typically a small piece of peanut or sun ̄ower seed. Some degree of food deprivat ion is usually involved to increase motivat ion, but any requirement to do so should be questioned and food should never be withheld for more than 3.5 h. If there is a delay to onset of training or testing, birds should be given a small number of nuts, seeds or wax moth larvae in the intervening period. Recommendations: Question any requirement to deprive birds of food during training programmes. Provide birds with small amounts of food if there is a delay to the onset of experimental training or testing and the birds are food deprived. Do not withhold food for more than 3.5 h.","PeriodicalId":215387,"journal":{"name":"Hand‐Rearing Birds","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128480319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
