Feather Destructive Behavior und Automutilation bei Papageienvögeln – Verhaltensanalyse und Verhaltenstherapie

Feather Destructive Behavior (FDB) und Automutilation werden bei in Gefangenschaft gehaltenen Papageienvögeln häufig beobachtet. Um diese Problematik besser zu verstehen, werden das natürliche Verhalten von Papageienvögeln, die Grundlagen der Verhaltensanalyse bei Verhaltensproblemen sowie mögliche therapeutische Ansätze vorgestellt.
