The evaluation of breeding and reproductive factors of Greater flamingo (Phoenicopterus roseus) in UCSZOO
Černá, Lucie ; Jebavý, Lukáš (advisor) ; Tománek, Pavel (referee)
The greater flamingos (Phoenicopterus roseus) are one of the most widespread bird species in zoological gardens and within the Union of Czech and Slovak Zoological Gardens they are the third most common. Nowadays they can be found in 11 Czech and 3 Slovak zoos. Although flamingos have been bred since 19th century, it is still quite problematic. The successfulness of breeding depends on detailed knowledge of their biology and ethology. Basic information about these two disciplines can be found in the first part of this bachelor thesis together with breeding conditions recommended by foreign experts. Second part concentrates on description of breeding and reproductive indicators in individual zoos within the Union of Czech and Slovak Zoological Gardens and their subsequent evaluation. These data have been collected mostly during life visits of mentioned institutions. For successful breeding it is important that the flamingos are kept in numerous flocks and their gender ratio is balanced. Another thing that is needed is adequately large exhibit with water tank which provides sense of security. What is important next is optimally set food ration with enough carotin and also flying ability of males. Those with cropped wings have a smaller successfulness of copulation thus a smaller chance of egg fertilisation. The most suitable conditions for reproduction within the Union of Czech and Slovak Zoological Gardens has "Ohrada" zoo. The worst conditions, on the other hand, have "Chomutov" and "Plzeň" zoos where the flamingos are kept only for expositional purpose.
