Rearing and trade of wild birds in a semiarid region of Brazil

Abstract: The rearing of wild birds as pets is directly related to cultural and socioeconomic issues, as well as to population declines for the species involved. This study aimed to inventory wild birds that are reared as pets and analyze aspects of their commercialization and the sociocultural context of this activity in the semiarid region of Paraíba, Brazil. The data were obtained through interviews and semistructured questionnaires comprised of questions regarding wild birds kept in captivity. Thirty men with a mean… Show more

“…The knowledge and management practices carried out by bird keepers demonstrate a relevant empirical understanding of these animals, and this can significantly contribute to the improvement of the management of this group of animals. The management of these animals in cages is common for most passerine breeders in Brazil, who keep their animals in cages (Alves et al 2013;Soares et al 2020). Additionally, as for the bird breeders in this study, it was observed that they take care and understand the importance of providing certain features in the cages to ensure the well-being of the animals, such as: 1) sufficient space with wooden or other material perches to allow balanced perching and enough room for short flights; 2) proper ventilation, mild temperature, and protection against sun, cold, wind, and rain (IBAMA 2011); and 3) hygienic maintenance of the cages with clean water and removable trays if necessary.…”

“…Para fins de criação foram citadas 40 espécies, sendo as aves mais citadas Paroaria dominicana (45 cit., VUc = 1,12), Icterus jamacaii (31 cit., VUc = 0,78), Cyanoloxia brissonii (23 cit., VUc = 0,57) e Sicalis flaveola (22 cit., VUc = 0,55) (Tabela 3). A Ordem Passeriformes destaca-se por apresentar alta representatividade de espécies valorizadas em diversas regiões nordestina (Alves et al 2010;Bezerra et al, 2012;Licarião et al, 2013;Barbosa et al, 2014;Soares et al 2018b;Soares et al 2020). De acordo com Sick (2001), a população brasileira apresenta forte interesse pelas aves canoras, devido a fatores como riqueza de espécies, facilidade de obtenção na Natureza, beleza do canto, e para fins de criação em cativeiro.…”

“…As espécies pertencentes ao gênero Sporophila, incluindo Sporophila albogularis são as mais traficadas no Brasil (Costa et al, 2018;Soares et al 2020), isso porque possuem um belo canto e fácil manutenção devido ao seu hábito alimentar, que consiste de sementes como alpiste, exigindo por exemplo menor custo com a alimentação (Rocha et al, 2006;Soares et al 2020). A pressão relacionada à captura desses animais carece de investigações aprofundadas, capazes de evitar o declínio populacional das espécies ocasionada pelo desenvolvimento desenfreado dessa prática.…”

“…A etnoornitologia, enquanto campo de pesquisa é a ciência que busca compreender as inter-relações estabelecidas entre pessoas e aves, incluindo aspectos do conhecimento ecológico local (prática de caça e uso de aves) e a perspectiva ecológica (espécies que ocorrem no ambiente local e abundância populacional de espécies exploradas ao longo do tempo) (Alves et al, 2012;Veras et al, 2022). Estudos desenvolvidos em áreas do Nordeste brasileiro apontam que números representativos de aves são atribuídas a fins alimentares, criação, medicinal, controle, ritualístico, artesanal e enquanto bioindicação de eventos climáticos (Bezerra et al, 2011;Alves et al, 2012;Bezerra et al, 2013;Soares et al, 2018a,b;Santos et al, 2019;Soares et al, 2020;Bonfim et al, 2021). As pesquisas concentram-se em avaliar todos os aspectos envolvidos nas relações que envolvem os seres humanos e a avifauna, a exemplo da influência dos fatores socioeconômicos e conservacionistas no conhecimento e uso animal (Silva et al, 2020;Marques et al, 2022;Souza et al, 2022).…”
