Abstract

Biologija vrsta žutokresti kakadu i molučki kakadu slabo je istražena, što ostavlja mnoga neodgovorena pitanja vezana za njihovu etologiju i fiziologiju. Cilj rada je kroz etograme prikazati raznolikost njihovih ponašanja u Zoološkom vrtu grada Zagreba, kako bi se olakšalo praćenje ponašanja ptica u zatočeništvu. Uz to, kod vrste žutokresti kakadu željeli smo istražiti solitarna i socijalna ponašanja kako bi se ispitala mogućnost zajedničkog održavanja životinja, a samim time prilagodba jedinki na novu okolinu. Istraživanje u svrhu izrade etograma provedeno je na dvije jedinke žutokrestih i dvije jedinke molučkih kakadua. Tijekom 188 sati promatranja, metodom slobodnog uzorkovanja opisano je 69 ponašanja kod vrste molučki kakadu i 75 ponašanja kod vrste žutokresti kakadu. Uzorkovanje radi analize ponašanja u solitarnim i socijalnim uvjetima održavanja životinja provedeno je na dvije jedinke žutokrestih kakadua kroz sat i 15 minuta snimanja po danu, u trajanju istraživanja od 30 dana. Rezultati su pokazali razliku u prilagodbi između mužjaka i ženke te malu količinu agresivnih ponašanja, što ukazuje da je par žutokrestih kakadua moguće održavati zajedno. Bilo bi poželjno napraviti dodatna istraživanja na većem broju ptica i tijekom dužeg vremenskog perioda te u istraživanje uključiti i druge zoološke vrtove.

Abstract (english)

The biology of the Citron-crested cockatoo and Moluccan cockatoo is largely unexplored, which leaves many unanswered questions about their ethology and physiology. The aim of the study is to show their behavioural diversity in the Zagreb Zoo through ethograms in order to facilitate the monitoring of the behaviour of birds in captivity. In addition, we wanted to investigate solitary and social behavior in Citron-crested cockatoos to explore the possibility of maintaining of pair bonds, and thus of birds' adaptation to a new environment. The study for the purpose of making ethogram was conducted in two Citron-crested cockatoos and two Moluccan cockatoos. During 188 hours of observation, the ad libitum sampling method was used to describes 69 behaviors in the type of Moluccan cockatoos and 75 behaviors in the type of Citron-crested cockatoos. Sampling for behavioral analysis in solitary and social captive conditions was conducted in two Citron-crested cockatoos during of an hour and 15 minutes of recording per day, for a 30-day study. The results showed a difference in the adjustment between a male and a female bird and a small extent of aggressive behavior, thus indicating that a pair of Citron-crested cockatoos can be maintained together. It would be desirable to carry out further research on a larger number of birds over a longer period of time, and to include other zoos in the study.
