“…Os criadores podem encontrar em seu plantel vários problemas comportamentais causados pela influência do ambiente, já que as aves possuem os estímulos para procriação pelo fotoperíodo. O excesso de luz acaba causando distúrbios comportamentais entre eles: vocalização excessiva, pedido de gala e uma das principais delas é as posturas crônicas até que a fêmea tenha um esgotamento energético (Sfalcin, 2021). "Estas patologias são o resultado de uma complexa combinação de ações hormonais, fisiológicas e comportamentais relacionadas ao fotoperíodo, disponibilidade de alimento e de ninhos" (Bowles, 2002).…”

Cockatiels (Nymphicus hollandicus) are very popular birds to have as a companion animal, as they are easy to manage. Despite the intense number of breeders, there are still many difficulties related to management and scarce studies in the area. The present work addresses one of the treatments of integrative medicine still little explored in veterinary medicine, the chromotherapy technique. It is a holistic vibrational/energetic color therapy, with the aim of evaluating the effect of using chromotherapy on the behavior and well-being of animals. The study was carried out with the use of two couples from the squad located in the city of Votorantim. The birds were divided into two groups, the control group (CG; n = 2) and the treated group (TG; n = 2). In the control group, the birds were kept in a nursery without environmental enrichment and without the base colors of chromotherapy. In the treated group, the birds were in a vivarium with colored toys (environmental enrichment) and with feeders and drinkers of the main colors of chromotherapy. For behavioral evaluation an ethogram was used. It was observed that there was a lower occurrence of infant deaths (TG = 36%; GC= 71%) and no occurrence of chronic posture (TG = 0; GC = 2). According to the conditions proposed in this work, it is suggested that chromotherapy associated with environmental enrichment positively influences the well-being of the birds, reducing the number of chronic postures and deaths of chicks.
