Functionally Relevant Feeding Enrichment: An Examination of Nectar Feeding Devices With Two Species of Parrot

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Nectar‐based feeding devices increased aerial activity and bucket use while reducing bowl use in rainbow lorikeets but produced little behavioural change in regent parrots. Species‐specific feeding enrichment promotes natural foraging behaviour and may improve welfare in captive nectarivorous parrots.

The Greatest Show (Birds) on Earth: Public Presentations and Their Welfare Impacts on Zoo‐Housed Birds

Zoo Biology, Volume 45, Issue 5, Page 603-617, September/October 2026.
Birds involved in bird shows were compared against non‐show birds regarding show paticipation, behaviour, body score condiiton, and feather condition. Additionally, comparisons between on and off show days as well as before and after the show were made to investigate differences in behaviour and condition. Show birds demonstrated a closer to ideal body

Functional Morphology of the Pedal Musculature and Grip Force Estimation in the Red‑and‑Green Macaw (Ara chloropterus Gray, 1859)

Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 8, August 2026.
Integration of detailed hindlimb anatomy with biomechanical analyses demonstrates that pedal performance in the red‐and‐green macaw is driven by specialized muscle architecture and force distribution. Hypertrophy of digit IV flexor musculature, together with modifications of the intrinsic and extensor muscles, enhances grasping stability, climbing, and

Demographic responses to population recovery illustrated by 30 years of monitoring a once critically endangered parrot

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
These findings highlight the dynamic nature of demographic processes throughout population recovery and emphasise the value of continued monitoring beyond apparent recovery to detect density‐dependent shifts in demographic rates of wildlife populations.

Internal and external parasitic infections in captive psittacine birds

, 2014
Parakeets and parrots can be infected by several parasitic species that may be either primary or opportunistic pathogens and may be responsible for mild or severe clinical forms of disease (Greiner and Ritchie 1994, Doneley 2009).

Using customs data to understand overlooked trade in non‐CITES birds between Africa and Asia

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract The international trade in live birds poses risks to animals, people, and biodiversity. To effectively mitigate these risks, decision‐makers require information on the volume, dynamics, and direction of trade. Despite Africa once being the largest exporter of birds by region, very little data exist on recent trade in live birds not listed on ...
