“…This is because nutritional deficiencies are the most common cause of diseases in birds in captivity, both because commercially available foods are based on mixtures of seeds with multiple deficiencies and because of the selective feeding behaviour of birds (Lumeija et al 1996). Thus, offering a varied menu, in addition to contributing to the welfare of the birds, contributes to the prevention of nutritional disorders (Machado et al 2018). The knowledge that bird keepers have about the diet of birds was obtained through in situ observation, passed between generations and between breeders, and obtained from internet searches and/or referrals from specialized stores, corroborating the findings of Ferreira et al al.…”

“…The feeding strategy that consists of providing seeds, vegetables, greens, and fruits is considered secondary to exclusive feeding with balanced rations that meet the nutritional requirements of the birds. The extrusion process used in the production of animal feed has several benefits, such as the elimination of undesirable fungi and bacteria, increased availability and digestibility of nutrients, and extension of the shelf life of the feed (Kill et al 2008;Machado). et al 2018).…”

The interactions between avifauna and the environment, including relationships with humans and their role in cultural practices, are part of ethnoornithological studies. The main objective of this study was to describe the ex situ management of passerines by amateur breeders for recreational and commercial purposes in a municipality in the Brazilian Amazon. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 62 farmers who had 279 wild birds belonging to 23 species in captivity. These animals were kept in cages of different sizes. The birds’ diets were obtained from specialized commercial stores and offered daily to the animals according to age group and reproductive stage. The animals were kept in environments with good air flow, and the cages were cleaned, and the water was changed daily. Worming of birds was a routine practice, but infestations and some diseases were noted. Medications for treatment were obtained from local specialized stores. The reproductive management of passerine birds, especially Sporophila angolensis and Sporophila maximiliani, was performed by only three breeders. The results provide relevant empirical knowledge about the ex situ management of passerines, which is part of local cultural habits. However, this study indicates that there may be negative effects of maintaining these birds in captivity, such as the capture of free-ranging wild animals. Socio-educational measures are necessary to improve awareness of the sustainable use of environmental resources and encourage legalized breeding of passerines to help conserve the species. Keywords: wild animals, ethnozoology, ex situ management, birds, Sporophila.
