“…For example, the capture of wild raptors for the pet and falconry industries, or for use of their body parts in traditional arts or medicines, can have significant impacts on certain raptor species. In most cases, such activities are entirely illegal, despite having often historic cultural origins [31,37,[55][56][57]79]. In these cases, the illegal trade in raptors is driven by positive attitudes concerning the birds from other stakeholders, and even from reverence for certain birds that have significant physical or representative value for client cultures (e.g., persons interested in traditional ornaments, traditional medicines or who admire birds) [54,55,57].…”

“…However, certain raptors, including vultures, will also kill livestock such as lambs and chickens, thereby generating human-raptor conflicts worldwide [24][25][26][27][28][29]. Raptors are also traded, kept as pets and used in sport [30][31][32][33], activities that represent raptor provisioning services for business stakeholders with often negative consequences for ecosystems and for conservation. These provisioning services are also closely related to raptor cultural services for collectors, and owners or falconers.…”

The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment proposed four categories of ecosystem services as regulating, provisioning, supporting and cultural. Of these, cultural services have been the most difficult to quantify despite playing a key role in developing society’s supporting services to ecosystems. By reviewing a series of case studies related to the cultural services derived from raptors, we examine relations between tangible ecosystem services and ‘knowledge’ and ‘beliefs’ as part of supporting services from human societies to ecosystems. We identified types of raptor regulating and provisioning services and patterns in service--knowledge-beliefs that defined positive or negative outcomes for raptor conservation. We also demonstrate how possible interactions between physical, experiential, physical-symbolic and representative-symbolic cultural services and between different stakeholders can create incentives or obstacles for conservation. Predictable patterns in service-knowledge-beliefs provide a framework upon which socio-cultural and ethnobiological aspects of raptor conservation may be combined with ecological research to support conservation initiatives. Based on these patterns we present examples of how cultural services might be employed to better promote raptor conservation while respecting the beliefs and traditions of stakeholders.

The escape of pet birds into the wild raises concerns about the introduction of invasive avian species. This study investigated the impact of escaped pet birds on the introduction of non-native species in Japan. Data sourced from four lost-and-found pet websites between January 2018 and December 2021 revealed 12,125 recorded escapes exhibiting both daily occurrences and seasonal fluctuations. Statistical modeling identified the monthly average temperature (positively correlated) and maximum electricity demand (negatively correlated) as influential factors. Text analysis revealed “window” and “open” as frequently cited reasons for escapes. Budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus) and Cockatiels (Nymphicus hollandicus) accounted for 76% of the total escape, suggesting a low perceived risk of establishment in nonnative environments. Interestingly, two globally established invasive species, the Rose-ringed Parakeet (Psittacula krameri) and Monk Parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus), were among the escaped birds. While the Rose-ringed Parakeet is locally naturalized in Tokyo and its adjacent prefectures, the Monk Parakeet failed to establish itself in Japan. Despite the limited number of escaped Monk Parakeets, ongoing efforts are crucial for preventing the potential re-establishment of species with such capabilities.
