 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.
