Effects of UVB radiation on calcium metabolism in psittacine birds.
The effects of providing ultraviolet (uv) radiation (285 to 315 nm, ultraviolet B) on calcium metabolism in two groups of 20 healthy grey parrots (Psittacus e erithacus) fed either a seed or pellet-based diet were investigated. There was a significant increase in the concentration of ionised calcium in the plasma of both groups, independent of the calcium and vitamin D(3) content of the diets f...
متن کاملFluorescent signaling in parrots.
Fluorescent pigments appear to glow because ultraviolet (UV) light is absorbed and reemitted at longer wavelengths. Humans use fluorescence as a highlighter, but it remains a mystery whether naturally occurring fluorescence functions as a signal or is a by-product of pigment structure. Here, we test for evidence of signaling using the fluorescent plumage of parrots (1). We performed mate choice...
متن کاملBeak and feather disease virus haemagglutinating activity using erythrocytes from African Grey parrots and Brown-headed parrots.
Psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD) is a common viral disease of wild and captive psittacine birds characterized by symmetric feather loss and beak deformities. The causative agent, beak and feather disease virus (BFDV), is a small, circular single-stranded DNA virus that belongs to the genus Circovirus. BFDV can be detected by PCR or the use of haemagglutination (HA) and haemagglutinati...
متن کاملNestling Sex Ratios in the Yellow-naped Amazon: No Evidence for Adaptive Modification
Many birds, including some parrots, may adjust the sex ratio of their offspring in relation to the relative fitness benefits of sons and daughters. We investigated nestling sex ratios in Yellow-naped Amazons (Amazona auropalliata) using a molecular sexing technique that amplifies intronic regions of the CHDW and CHD-Z genes in birds. We examined all nestlings in 37 complete clutches comprising ...
متن کاملBreeding parrots -- learn about their life in the wild
Experience does enter the equation to a degree, but many beginners are successful while others keep parrots for years with very poor breeding results. This is not only because they have too many birds and not enough time to devote to each pair, but because they lack the ability to identify with the parrots in their care. Yes, it is all about caring and that derives from careful observation and ...
