Three years ago,five parrots were set free in a wild place of Arizona,thousands of miles from the Channel IsIands in Jersey sher they had been looked after by zookeepers.No evolutionary strategies informed them how to behave in this new Iandscape of mountainous pine forest unoccupied by their king for 50 years.To the researchers’ surprise,they failed to make comtact with a group of wild parrots imported from Mexico and set free at the same time.Within 24 hours the reintroducing ended in failure,and the poor birds were back in cages,on their way to the safety of the Arizona reintroduction programme.
Ever since then,the programme has enjoyed great success,mainly because the birds now being set free are Mexican birds illegally caught in the wild,confiscated (没收) on arrival north of the border,and raised by their parents in the safety of the programme.The experience shows how little we know about the behaviour and psychology(心理) of parrots,as Peter Bennett,a bird researcher,points out:” Reintroducing species of high intelligence like parrots is a lot more difficult.People like parrots,always treating them as nothing more than pers or valuable ‘collectables’.”
Now that manty species of parrot are in immediate danger of dying out,biologists are working together to study the natural history and the behaviour of this family of birds.Last year was an important turning point:conservationists founded the World Parrot Trust,based at Hayle in Cornwall,to support research into both wild and caged birds.
Research on parrots is vital for two reasons.Forst,as the Arizona programme showed,when reintroducing parrots to the wild,we need to be aware of what the birds must know if they are to survive in their natural home.We also need to learn more about the needs oft parrots keot as pets,particularly as the Trust’s campaign does not attempt to discourage the practice,but rather urges people who buy parrots as pets to choose birds raised by humans
三年前,五个鹦鹉被释放的野生的地方,在数千英里,从亚利桑纳在新泽西的通道IsIands 52他们已经由动物园没有进化策略,告诉他们如何表现在这个新的Iandscape山区的松林被他们的国王绕道50年.研究者们惊讶的是,他们没能使comtact跟一群野生鹦鹉进口来自墨西哥和释放在同一时间内.24小时内的重新设计以失败而告终,可怜的鸟在笼,亚利桑那州的安全方案.意译
自那时以来,该方案已得到巨大的成功,主要是因为鸟类正在释放的墨西哥非法鸟类在野外捕获的,没收(没收抵达边界以北),并提出他们的父母在该方案的安全性.的经验表明,我们多么少有关的行为和心理(心理的鹦鹉),彼得知道贝内特,鸟研究员指出:“像鹦鹉重新采用高智能的物种是一个困难得多.像鹦鹉的人,总是统统看成灰霉病以上这些宝贵'精品'.“
现在的鹦鹉门蒂物种将面临绝种的即时危险,生物学家正在合作研究的自然历史,这个鸟类家庭行为.2005年是一个重要的转折点:保育创立了世界鹦鹉信托基金,在海尔总部设在康沃尔郡,以支持将野生和笼养鸟的研究.
关于鹦鹉的研究是至关重要的两个原因.福斯特,由于亚利桑那州的方案表明,何时重新引入野生鹦鹉,我们需要什么样的鸟必须知道他们是否在其生存的自然之家认识.我们还需要了解的需要,经常作为宠物鹦鹉keot特别信托基金的活动并没有试图阻止这种做法,多,而是呼吁市民谁买鹦鹉作为宠物选择人类提出的鸟类
