“…Our results revealed an expressive richness of wild bird species sold as pets in Brazil, especially birds from the Thraupidae and Psittacidae families, reinforcing a trend already reported in previous studies (for example, Araujo [12] and Nascimento [16] who recorded the popularity of these birds as pets in the country and indicate that most of the animals targeted for pet tra cking in Brazil are birds. We recorded that at least 426 species are traded in Brazil, constituting higher numbers than those recorded in previous surveys (Alves at al [11] = 295 species; Costa et al [79] = 383 bird species). We found that the birds which arouse greater public interest are related to the attributes of granivorous and omnivorous diet, open and semi-open habitats, large distributions extent and lower prices.…”

BACKGROUND Several bird species involved in commercial trade of pets in Brazil, have presented occurrences outside their natural habitat, which may indicate possible introductions due to this activity. In this context we sought to evaluate the factors that influence the public’s interest in wild birds sold as pets in Brazil, and the relationship of those factors with new occurrences of birds outside their natural distribution area, discussing the relationship of commercial trade with possible introductions in new environments. METHODS We compiled the richness of bird species traded in Brazil and obtained comparative data of public interest directed to these species through the Google Trend tool. In addition, we gathered data on biological attributes and data on the sale price of the species in the trade, to analyze which factors would be related to public interest. New occurrences of birds outside their natural range were considered only if they were at a minimum distance of 800 km. Thus, factors related to public interest were then used to assess whether there was a relationship with these new occurrences. Data analysis was performed using Mixed Generalized Linear Models (GLMMs). RESULTS The results indicated that the public’s interest in certain species varies according to the region of the country, suggesting that the profile of interest in wild birds by people on the internet can be guided by sociocultural factors of each location. In addition, we found that the public interest is greater for songbirds, with generalist diet, which live in more open environments, have a greater distribution area and are sold at lower prices. All those factors, except for the distribution area, also showed to be related to the birds that presented new occurrences. CONCLUSIONS The public's preference for birds from more open and more generalist environments is probably the most important data, as such factors generally indicate greater environmental tolerance, which may favor the establishment of these birds in new environments. Thus, actions aimed at the conservation of commercialized species are essential to reduce the interregional trade of species, and consequently reduce the impact on natural populations and reduce the potential for new biological introductions.

“…However, it is worth noting that with the exception of Serinus canaria-an exotic species-all cited species occur within the covered area of the park and its surroundings [31][32][33]. This number represents less than 5% of the total of estimated species (approximately 450) registered within the protected areas and Boa Nova's surroundings [31][32][33]43], an aspect that could be associated to the preference for songbirds and other ornamental species between bird-keepers, traders and trappers [5,52]. Availability and access are also factors that may influence species preference for bird-keeping [23,49], and could explain favoritism for certain species, seen that Sporophila nigricollis was the most popular species associated with bird-keeping and commercialization, even though other mentioned species such as Sicalis flaveola, Paroaria Dominicana and Cyanoloxia brissoni have considerable higher apprehension's numbers in Brazil [52].…”

Background Illegal capture and trade of wild birds are some of the most present types of wildlife trade in Brazil, and are often associated with cultural and socioenvironmental aspects. Those habits are particularly present in rural communities, where bird trade can be a source of income in dire economic situations and bird-keeping is a cultural trait passed down from generations. Methods We conducted a series of semi-structured interviews with bird-keepers and traders within the surrounding region of the Parque Nacional de Boa Nova, inquiring about local customs and practices related to bird-keeping, bird trade and bird capture, as well as how these were affected by the establishment of protected areas nearby. We then outlined the main trends and perceptions in a quantitative and a qualitative approach. Results A total of 21 avian species were mentioned as being used as pets and in commercialization, contests and breeding, most of them occurring naturally in the region. Most respondents were men possessing low levels of education and income. We observed a series of specialized practices regarding bird-keeping, from basic maintenance of captive individuals in order to ensure the animal’s health, to interspecies breeding as to produce hybrid individuals. Mentioned methods used to capture wild birds often involved specialized traps and were conducted mainly within the national park’s area. Bird trade was said to occur mostly in urban settlements, and the value of captive birds was said to vary, based on species and beforehand training. The official establishment of the protected area impaired all practices related to bird-keeping and trade, mostly as a result of increased surveillance by environmental agencies. Conclusion The collected information presents a series of specialized habits and practices involved in bird-keeping, bird capture and bird trade, many of them being associated with the local avifauna surrounding the region. The establishment of protected areas affected local perceptions regarding bird-keeping and related practices mostly through fear of penalty, although individuals demonstrated some knowledge about how to evade surveillance. We recommend further studies about effective ways to integrate local communities in nearby protected areas’ conservation.

Background: Illegal capture and trade of wild birds are some of the most present types of wildlife trade in Brazil, and are often associated with cultural and socioenvironmental aspects. Those habits are particularly present in rural communities, where bird trade can be a source of income in dire economic situations and bird-keeping is a cultural trait passed from generations. Methods: We conducted a series of direct interviews with bird-keepers and traders within the surrounding region of the Parque Nacional de Boa Nova regarding wild bird trade and socioenvironmental aspects, then associated the collected information using different exploratory analysis.Results: A total of 21 avian species was mentioned as being used as pets and in commercialization, contests and breeding, most of the occurring naturally in the surrounding region. Most respondents were men possessing low levels of education and income. Bird-keeping was surrounded by practices regarding the captive individual’s health and singing abilities. Mentioned methods used to capture wild birds often involved specialized traps and were mostly conducted within the national park’s area. Bird trade was said to occur mostly in urban settlements, and the value of captive birds was said to vary based on species and beforehand training. The official establishment of the protected area impaired all practices related bird-keeping and trade, mostly as a result of increased surveillance by environmental agencies.Conclusion: The collected information presents a series of specialized habits and practices involved in bird-keeping, bird capture and bird trade, many of them being associated with the local avifauna surrounding the region. Our study also points the efficiency of protected area surveillance to contain practice’s related to illegal wildlife trade.
