COAT
Svobodová, Hana ; Pangrácová, Lucie (referee) ; Gabriel, Michal (advisor)
Although the main topic of my diploma thesis is Kabát, I describe in the introductory chapters of my previous work, because their creation and gradual emergence have been directed towards the final project - Kabát. As part of my sculpture, I concentrate mainly on the possibilities of transforming the human figure, using various classical and non-traditional sculptural materials. The fabric of a selected piece of clothing (in the case of a coat) is reinforced at a certain point in time, which I transposed into the feathered cavity - the coat that you put before you. His work with the "outer envelope of man" in the final passage of the text corresponds to the work of Czech and foreign artists.

ZEMANOVÁ, Jitka
The Pesquet´s parrot (Psittrichas fulgidus) is an endemic bird of New Guinea, where it inhabits mountain rainforests. This color featureless parrot with bare head is a very specialized frugivore feeding especially figs. Its abundance in the wild is declining and threatened by hunting for its uniquely colored feathers, deforestation, hunting for meat and illegal trade with birds. In zoos, this species is rarely bred. The aim of this thesis was to describe the breeding of this species in captivity and to determine the success existing rearing in selected breeding institution. Breeding of Pesquet´s parrot had been described in the Loro Parque in Tenerife, in Jurong BirdPark in Singapore, in San Diego Zoo in the U.S., on a private farm Al Wabra in Qatar and three private breeders in the Czech Republic. Successful breeding is mainly provided by artificial incubators and hand rearing of chicks.
