It’s been a busy summer.

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS: ISAZ 2006 BARCELONA!
ISAZ 2006 Barcelona, Spain, 5th-6th October 2006 The Importance of Attitudes, Values, and Economics on the Welfare and Conservation of Animals Abstracts due by March 19, 2006
The selected topic of the meeting will be “The importance of attitudes, values, and economics on the welfare and conservation of animals.” This will be covered in two sessions (morning and afternoon) on the first day. The second day will be devoted to free papers. The AGM of ISAZ will be held on the second day. The meeting will be held in the World Trade Centre Barcelona (www.wtcbarcelona.com)
Animal welfare and conservation have become important issues worldwide. Differences still exist, however, on how they are perceived, both between and within countries. This is due, among other things, to differences in attitudes and values. For example, the subjective feeling that moral and religious codes are followed may be an important part of human welfare. The question is whether animal welfare and conservation are at all part of these codes. A related issue is whether raising the awareness of animal welfare problems has a positive effect on people’s attitudes towards human suffering.
Attitudes towards animal welfare are also affected by the economic impact of animal welfare and conservation regulations and practices, and perhaps by the economic development of each country or social group.
The relationship between attitudes/values and the welfare/conservation of animals, as well as the interplay between economy and animal welfare and conservation will be addressed with regard to companion, laboratory, farm and wild animals.
Abstracts should be sent to Dr. Xavier Manteca ([email protected]) by 19th March 2006. Detailed abstract submission instructions can be found on the ISAZ web page: http://www.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/CCAB/isaz.htm
News Ex officio council member Dennis Turner, IAHAIO liaison, writes that as of this year all of the IEAP continuing education courses (e.g. in 'Applied Ethology and Animal Psychology' and in 'Animal-Assisted Therapy') are officially given "in association with the Zoology Institute of the University of Zurich", a tremendous boost in recognition of his private institute (see www.turner-iet.ch). He is also pleased that ISAZ has decided to hold its 2007 conference back to back with the IAHAIO 2007 triennial conference in Tokyo and sees this as a great opportunity to boost ISAZ's membership with scholars from Asia.

Articles Received A Study in Human-Avian Interaction: The Monk or Quaker Parrot (Myiopsitta monachus) in North America Patricia K. Anderson
Humans, who tend to anthropocentrically South America has established in parts of the reconstruct environments according to cultural extinct parrot’s former range, and Garber (1995) design, have introduced thousands of animals, suggests that it is an “ecological equivalent.” The plants, and microbes into nonnative ecosystems natural distribution of the Monk parrot is “from globally (e.g., Crosby, 1986; Smith, 1999). In central Bolivia and southern Brazil south to some cases severe ecological degradation and central Argentina” (Spreyer & Bucher, 1998, p. even species extinctions have resulted. For 1). Today, due to human intervention, small example, the introduction of rats and cats are populations are also found in parts of North considered to be responsible for the extinction of America, the Caribbean, and Europe (Spreyer & 50 bird species (Earth Policy Institute 2005). Bucher, 1998, pp. 1-4). Fortunately, relatively few introduced species actually become ecological problems, since most In South America, monk parrots are common in do not adapt, and of those that do, “only one or semiarid savannas and open woodlands, although two cause significant harm” (Van Driesche & they may also be found in denser wooded areas. Van Driesche, 2000, p. 91). This article considers The monk adapts well to suburban and urban the introduction of the Monk or Quaker parrot1 environments in North America, especially city into North America as an interesting case of parks (Hyman and Pruett-Jones 1995).

Unique among the free over the skies of North America. Large flocks Psittacidae, the monk parakeet is the only species of colorful native Carolina Parakeets (Conuropsis to construct stick nests in colonies (Forshaw, carolinensis) once flew over most of the eastern 1978, p. 444).

worth noting that, in Argentina, agricultural losses attributed to the Monk Parakeet have never been accurately measured (Spreyer & Bucher, 1998, p. 1). Likewise, there seem to be no data to support allegations that the monk is an ecological threat. Unlike other introduced parrot species, monk parakeets do not compete with native cavity dwellers (e.g., woodpeckers and bluebirds) for nesting sites, but build their own nests. In fact, a number of symbiotic interspecific interactions in both North and South America have been Figure 1.

Since populations of monks appear Human Allies of the Monk Parrot to be limited to urban and suburban areas in Quaker or monk parrots, popular companion birds northern climes, some ornithologists question (Figure 3), are often featured in avian interest whether or not they can survive temperate winters publications (e.g. Barthel, 2002; Blanchard et al., without the benefit of birdfeeders (Spreyer & 2001; Krueger, 1999; Nelson, 2001), and Internet Bucher, 1998, p. 16; Walsten 1988), the chief source of food during this time (Hyman & Pruett- e-mail lists, including one of the oldest, The Quaker Parakeet List, sponsored by The Quaker Jones, 1995).

Enthusiasts consider the Quaker or Monk Parakeet to have a strong ability to mimic the human voice, and to also use human language meaningfully, if taught to do so (Quaker Parakeet Society List Archives). Bird Talk magazine lists the Quaker Parrot as one of the top ten talking birds (October 1998 issue; Krueger, 1999, p. 38), and bird breeder Nelson comments, “If you compare quakers to other parrot species of similar Figure 2. Monk parrots sociably foraging in the snow size, they are one of the best, if not the best, among other avian species.

Some owners compare This may explain why parrots die out in some them to African greys” (Nelson, 2001, pp. 47-48). areas soon after initial reports, and why populations of monks have expanded little outside their original points of colonization in the thirty plus years since free flying parrots first appeared.
The established naturalized populations probably derive from the importation of wild caught birds prior to 1993,5 since domestically reared parrots do not learn survival skills from their parents and peers (Athan, 1997, p. 112). Studies of reintroduction efforts indicate that wild-caught parrots are much better adapted to survive in the Figure 3. Quakers are popular companion birds who wild (Wiley et al. 1992, p. 182).

David C. Anderson’s Bibliographic Column
The following lists of books, contributions to books, journal issues of interest, journal articles and websites are but a fraction of recent output from scholars and practitioners. As for date of publication, this column has attempted to list items no earlier than 1999, or, more specifically, items not included in the bibliographic journal Humans & Other Species. As for inclusion, it is what I have run across in a variety of ways, some by planned database searches and some by serendipity. If you would like to recommend something for inclusion, send me a note at the following address. 340 Killdeer Court, Lincoln CA 95648-2474 USA; email: [email protected]
