|  Captive
Foraging: The Next Best Thing to Being Free
by Dr. M. Scott Echols
This innovative DVD is destined to change the way
caretakers view their captive birds. Based on the model of the natural
foraging instinct of all animals, author and videographer Dr. M. Scott Echols introduces the concept of including a foraging tree in a
bird's enclosure for environmental enrichment. The video describes
how a foraging tree can potentially reduce the incidence of unwanted
behaviors in captive birds. Also included are step-by-step directions
on how to use a foraging tree as well as safe foraging toys for
birds. A separate Special Feature details scientific information
about the bird species included in the program. Topics covered include
understanding the natural foraging instinct of all animals; preventing
unwanted behaviors, such as feather destruction and repetitive functionless
activity; build a foraging tree for captive birds; and creating
foraging toys — from basic to advanced — to keep birds
occupied and happy. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to
qualified avian research projects selected by the author.
