圈养鸟类的动物园管理技术，例如飞行限制和围栏类型，可能会影响行为表现，因此值得研究。火烈鸟是动物园中最受欢迎的鸟类之一，因此，对其圈养管理和相关行为反应的研究广泛适用于成千上万的个体。作为高度社会化的物种，了解个体鸟类和整个群体的社会联系和行为可以帮助为支持畜牧业和种群管理的决策提供信息。在该项目中，我们在 2013 年春季和夏季对布里斯托尔动物园的 41 只火烈鸟进行了为期 49 天的观察，以评估以下内容：(i) 群体内的社会关联，(ii) 总体活动模式，以及 (iii) 群体内的时间分布居住在同一围栏内的全翅鸟类和飞行受限鸟类的特定围栏区域。结果表明，就火烈鸟的时间活动模式而言，小齿轮与年龄相互作用，但翅膀状况并没有显着影响关联模式、社交互动的表现或繁殖行为的表现。社交网络分析表明，关联是非随机的，无论哪种翅膀状况的火烈鸟在网络中都表现出不同的角色。年龄相近的鸟类形成了最牢固的联系。围栏使用情况不均匀，表明火烈鸟在观察期间更喜欢围栏的特定区域。这项研究表明，翅膀状况不会影响火烈鸟的行为、社会纽带或空间利用，而且年龄和性别对火烈鸟的行为以及它们选择与谁一起做的整体影响更大。进一步的研究应该将这项研究扩展到其他更大的圈养鸟群，以进一步完善这些受欢迎的动物园鸟类的福利行为测量。

Wing condition does not negatively impact time budget, enclosure usage, or social bonds in a flock of both full-winged and flight-restrained greater flamingos

Zoo management techniques for captive birds, such as flight restraint and enclosure type, may affect behavioral performance and are consequently worthy of investigation. Flamingos are amongst the most popular of zoo-housed birds and, as such, research into their captive management and associated behavioral responses are widely applicable to many thousands of individuals. As a highly social species, understanding social bonds and behavior of the individual bird and the flock overall can help inform decisions that support husbandry and population management. In this project, 41 greater flamingos at Bristol Zoo Gardens were observed for 49 days across spring and summer 2013 to assess the following: (i) social associations within the flock, (ii) overall activity patterns, and (iii) distribution of time within specific enclosure zones for both full-winged and flight-restrained birds living in the same enclosure. Results showed that pinioning interacted with age in regard to flamingo time–activity patterns, but wing condition did not significantly influence association patterns, performance of social interactions, or performance of breeding behavior. Social network analysis revealed that associations were nonrandom and flamingos, of either wing condition, displayed different roles within the network. Birds of similar age formed the strongest bonds. Enclosure usage was not even, suggesting that the flamingos favored specific areas of the enclosure during the observation period. This study showed that wing condition does not affect flamingo behavior, social bonds, or space use, and that age and sex have more of an overall influence on what flamingos do, and with whom they chose to do it. Further research should extend this study into other, larger captive flocks to further refine behavioral measures of welfare for these popular zoo birds.
