Handling with injured birds in rescue centres
HROMÁDKO, David
Birds are the most frequent patients in rescue stations. Vehicular traffic, glass - fronted areas, power lines and also illegal hunting they all endanger birds in modern countryside. Thanks to rescue stations lots of birds injured in this way or ill ones are cured up and returned back to the wild. Thus rescue stations have a very important role in nature reservation as well as in ecological education. Presented work evaluates extent, means and success rate of handling and treatment of injured birds in rescue stations. The data concerning handling, treatment and aftereffects of the accidents of some injured and handicapped birds were found out in the following rescue stations: Záchranná stanice Třeboň při Českém nadačním fondu pro vydru (Rescue Station Třeboň under Czech Charitable Fund for the Otter), Stanice ochrany fauny Pavlov, o.p.s (Station for Fauna Protection in Pavlov, Social Enterpreneurship), Záchranná stanice pro zraněné živočichy na Huslíku u Poděbrad (Rescue Station for Injured Animals in Huslík near Podebrady) and Záchranná stanice pro živočichy ČSOP Vlašim (Rescue Station for Animals of the Czech Federation of Nature Protectors Vlašim). The numerical trend of the most common types of injuries was also carried out and in this case records of the rescue stations from 2008 2014 were used as the base. Each of the rescue stations has its own ways of treatment and handling the injured birds which sometimes differ from the ones in other stations. Some stations do not have any experience with some kinds of injuiries. The worst therapy is to cure poisoned birds and those burnt by electric current and poisoning. The most common cause of the receipt of birds in the mentoined stations was the hospital admission of non- independent young animals.

Innovative methods of airport biological control
Bulíček, Pavel ; Motyková, Veronika (referee) ; Kujal, Tomáš (advisor)
The main content of this master’s thesis is identification of biological threats and analysis of present means of aerodrome biological control, description of their effectiveness and possibilities of usage. Furthermore the way of bird strikes recordkeeping and innovative means, devices and procedures of aerodrome biological control considering the required safety level are mentioned.

Citizen Science in Ornithology
Voříšek, Petr ; Vermouzek, Zdeněk
Občanská věda je relativně nový termín pro taková vědecká bádání, na nichž se kromě profesionálních vědců významnou nebo rozhodující měrou podílejí i amatéři zabývající se danou problematikou ve svém volném čase. Přestože termín je nový, výzkumy podobného charakteru se prováděly a provádějí již dlouho. Právě ornitologie je jedním z oborů, kde má občanská věda dlouhou tradici a můžeme tak na řadě příkladů demonstrovat přínosy, úskalí i hlavní specifika tohoto způsobu vědeckého poznávání světa.

The effect of coloration of predator on reaction of birds at the feeder.
BURŠÍKOVÁ, Markéta
I investigate the effect of coloration of predator on the willingness of birds to undergo a predation risk at the winter feeder. I presented five colour modification of a sparowhawk and a control pigeon. The experimental species of birds presented at the feeder include great, blue, marsch and willow tits and nuthatch. My results suggest that birds are able to distinguish among the models but only in some extent. The behaviour of particular bird species differed significantly and was influenced by conditions like temperature and presence of the snow cover.

The influence of the type of post - mining areas restoration on vertebrates biodiversity - the model group of birds
SOBÍŠKOVÁ, Kateřina
One way how to assess restoration success is to examine the biodiversity in the ``newly created{\crq}q areas. Birds have been chosen as indicators of biodiversity because of their ability to adapt and thus indicate the environmental quality. The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the biodiversity of birds in differently reclaimed areas of spoil heap in Sokolov Brown Coal Basin. A simple method of visual and acoustic observations was chosen, because it allows us to identify most species correctly without disturbing their populations. In total, 19 bird species were found. The wetland localities were the richest in bird biodiversity, the forestry reclaimed areas were the second and the poorest biodiversity was in agriculturally restored areas. The results show that wetlands are important not only for water regime and water quality of restored areas, but also for their biodiversity.

Trade in endangered species of birds protected by CITES in CR in relation to third countries
JURDÁKOVÁ, Jiřina
Excessive international trade in endangered species of fauna and flora is one of the causes of extinction of certain species in nature. This thesis deals with international trade in endangered species of birds in the Czech Republic as a popular group for breeders. The trade was treated in the range of years 1992-2008, which served for CITES annual reports CR. It was found, that the trend of import of specimens and species to CR during that period was slightly declining, since 2006 is very low. While the trend of export of specimens and species was slightly increasing. The main imported species during the survey period were Poicephalus senegalus, Psittacus erithacus, Amazona amazonica. The main exported species were Platycercus eximus, Psephotus haematonotus, Agapornis personata.
