Abstract
Bird owners often fail to look into the enrichment
based needs of the birds. Many a times, birds
with boredom might scream frequently or pluck
out their own feathers. Hence, implementation
of proper enrichment measures will help alleviate
these problems. Attempt was made for few
environmental enrichment gadgets like ladder,
continuous rings, mirror, skewers with fruits and
rope with knots for selected captive psittacines
at Arignar Anna Zoological Park, Vandalur. It
was found that ladder was highly preferred and
rope with knots was least preferred. There was
highly signi cant difference (P< 0.01) between
usage of ladder and other gadgets.
