La amputación de miembros pélvicos en aves rapaces, debe ser evaluada con detenimiento y considerada como el último recurso para salvar la vida del ave, debido a que posterior a la amputación, pueden derivarse una serie de factores degenerativos, como la alteración de eje corporal, distribución inadecuada del peso corporal y pododermatitis. Una buena alternativa para contrarrestar estos problemas, es el uso de prótesis, que busquen recuperar el eje corporal y mantener una buena postura en el ave. El uso de impresoras 3D para este tipo de proyectos, ofrece una alternativa más accesible y sencilla debido a su versatilidad tanto en diseño como en materiales. El presente proyecto pone a prueba el diseño de una prótesis 3D y documenta la corrección de eje corporal e incorporación de la prótesis en las actividades diarias de un cernícalo americano (Falco sparverius) y una lechuza de campanario (Tyto alba), ambas con una amputación tibiotarsal en su tercio distal. A pesar de que la utilización de prótesis no permite la reintroducción de las aves al medio ambiente, ofrece una oportunidad para integrar dichas aves en programas de conservación, tales como reproducción en cautiverio o educación ambiental.

AbstractBird nests are specialized habitats because of their particular composition including nest detritus and bird droppings. In consequence, they attract a specialized arthropod community considered as nidicolous, which includes species only found in bird nests (strictly nidicolous) or sometimes found in bird nests (facultatively nidicolous). Because the factors influencing the entomofauna in bird nests are poorly understood, in autumn 2019, we collected nest material in 86 Barn Owl (Tyto alba) nest boxes. We investigated whether the invertebrate species richness was related to Barn Owl nest box occupancy, the density of available nest boxes and the landscape structure. We found 3,321 nidicolous beetle specimens belonging to 24 species. Species richness of strictly nidicolous beetles was 2.7 times higher in nest boxes occupied by a family of Barn Owls the previous spring compared to unoccupied nest boxes. It was also higher in sites that were more often occupied by Barn Owls in the five previous years and in areas surrounded by a higher proportion of crop fields. For facultatively nidicolous beetles, the density of Barn Owl nest boxes enhanced the species richness. In conclusion, our study suggests that the strictly nidicolous beetles benefit from occupied nest boxes of Barn Owls, whereas facultatively nidicolous beetles look for nest boxes independently of whether Barn Owls occupy them. Our study highlights the importance of bird nests for a suite of invertebrates.

Sminthopsis Macroura

Vertebrate remains in a collection of barn owl (Tyto alba) pellets from south-western Queensland were largely those of mammals, including Rattus villosissimus, Mus musculus, Leggadina forresti, Planigale tenuirostris, Sminthopsis macroura and S. crassicaudata. R. villosissimus was the most common prey item. P. tenuirostris had not been recorded previously from the area. Other vertebrate remains included those of birds, lizards and frogs. Some insects were also found in the pellets.
