摘要

由于猩红金刚鹦鹉具有先进的认知能力、复杂的社会互动、较长的预期寿命以及对互动和刺激的较高需求,因此在人类的照顾下,它们是积极强化训练计划的优秀候选人。在哺乳动物中,正强化训练的好处已经得到了充分的证明;然而,缺乏对鸟类的研究。两只深红色金刚鹦鹉被安置在阿尔图拉斯野生动物保护区(蓬塔雷纳斯,哥斯达黎加),每天一次,每次10分钟,每周4-6次,持续4个月。其目的是证明积极强化训练如何能够改善圈养鹦鹉的健康状况,同时通过过程中的自愿合作改善它们的饲养和医疗保健。选择以下6种训练行为:跟随目标、进入载体、留在载体、踩秤、踩毛巾、用注射器饮水。在研究期间,一只鹦鹉学会了所有6种行为,而另一只鹦鹉学会了6种行为中的4种。在最初的训练中所掌握的所有行为都成功地转移到其他个体身上,因此鸟类可以可靠地为畜牧和兽医工作人员表演这些行为。在研究结束时,两只金刚鹦鹉也减少了对照顾者的攻击行为。这表明,正强化训练是一种有效和实用的工具,可以教圈养金刚鹦鹉进行饲养和医疗行为,从而在提高其整体福利和管理的同时自愿参与程序。

Positive Reinforcement Training Facilitates the Voluntary Participation of Scarlet Macaws (Ara macao) With Husbandry and Medical Procedures.

Scarlet macaws (Ara macao) kept under human care are excellent candidates for positive reinforcement training programs because they possess advanced cognitive abilities, have complex social interactions, long life expectancies, and a correspondingly high need for interaction and stimulation. The benefits of positive reinforcement training in mammals have been well documented; however, studies in birds are lacking. Two scarlet macaws housed at Alturas Wildlife Sanctuary (Puntarenas, Costa Rica) were trained in 10-minute sessions once daily, 4-6 times a week, for 4 months. The goal was to demonstrate how positive reinforcement training can improve the well-being of captive psittacine birds, while improving their husbandry and medical care through voluntary cooperation during procedures. The following 6 training behaviors were selected: following a target, entering a carrier, staying in the carrier, stepping onto a scale, stepping onto a towel, and drinking from a syringe. One parrot learned all 6 behaviors, while the other learned 4 of the 6 behaviors during the study period. All the behaviors mastered during the initial training period were successfully transferred to other individuals, so the birds would reliably perform them for the husbandry and veterinary staff. By the end of the study period, both macaws had also decreased aggressive behaviors toward caretakers. This demonstrates that positive reinforcement training is an effective and practical tool for teaching captive macaws to perform husbandry and medical behaviors, thereby voluntarily participating in procedures while improving their general welfare and management.
