In their studies, they attempt to discover how birds interact with the flocks they are a part of, how they work together to achieve a goal, and how they individually act to stay a vital part of the community that they\u2019re affiliated with. Many species have unique approaches to their own existence, often passed down to others within the flock.<\/p>\n<p>What science discovers is that birds, like other creatures, have commonalities with the human race in the way that binds us together as living beings. One of those is the social standing of birds within their own flock. A recent <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2023-04-monk-parakeets-shown-social-absence.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study<\/a> by the University of Cincinnati, published in the Behavioral Ecology journal at Phys.org, details the interesting social aspects of the monk parakeet (commonly referred to as the quaker parrot or quaker parakeet).<\/p>\n<h3>Monk Parakeet Pecking Order<\/h3>\n<p>For a year\u2019s period, the study, led by Annemarie van der Marel, sought to discover the social standing imperative of the monk parakeets by working with three groups of birds. The standing of each bird in each group was determined by their interactions within the group. The more well-placed the bird, the more aggressive they were with the others. Once the standings were determined, the tests to discover how those standings remained were put into play. The standings were noticed by how aggressive the bird was to another, and how each bird reacted to the aggression. If a bird was able to intimidate others, then it was on a higher level of acceptance. If a bird chose to move away from a pecking neighbor, it was determined to be lower on the social spectrum.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers extracted several birds of varying degrees of social standing within each group. \u00a0The birds were removed for a period of eight days to see how they would reintegrate into the flock. Would the bird retain its standing? Or lose it? As it turned out, the removed birds had lost a lot of social ground and needed to regain, if they could.\u00a0 As birds attain a top-tier standing within the flock, they must continually assert their dominance as others attempt to gain higher standing. By removal, the upper-echelon birds lost much of their rank. After reintroduction, the once \u201ctop bird\u201d was found to be bullied by those who took over the position of rank.<\/p>\n<h3>A Hierarchy Re-Shuffling<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_45730\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45730\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-45730\" src=\"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/quaker-parrots-tree-un-N59J_O_JLdQ-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"two Quaker parrots (aka Monk parakeets) perched in a tree amid pink blossoms\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/quaker-parrots-tree-un-N59J_O_JLdQ-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/quaker-parrots-tree-un-N59J_O_JLdQ-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/quaker-parrots-tree-un-N59J_O_JLdQ-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lafeber.com\/pet-birds\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/quaker-parrots-tree-un-N59J_O_JLdQ.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-45730\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/two-green-and-white-birds-N59J_O_JLdQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sebastian Herrmann\/Unsplash<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When lower and mid-level ranked birds were reintroduced, they were not as bullied as the previous top-ranked birds were. It is assumed that the upper-ranked birds did not feel threatened by the lower-tiered birds and, as such, didn\u2019t pay them much mind upon their return. But the new power elite simply refused to give up their new high ranks by letting the once highly ranked bird regain a position of standing.<\/p>\n<p>The primary purpose of the study was to find ways to improve the health and well-being of all birds within captive environments. With birds being their natural selves, the structures must be evaluated to maintain a sense of safety. Interestingly, the monk parakeets are highly observant. They watch the fights among their flockmates to follow and to remember outcomes. They are aware of their places within the flock.<\/p>\n<p>High rank within a flock allows for better access to food, and other good things meant for survival. While the temperaments of the monk parakeet do not necessarily extend to other species and their modes of social standing, this study does offer insight as to how we might be able to work with other species in captivity to help ensure their safety. It is also a mirror of sorts to the human species, interesting in that we find that we share many traits. We\u2019re all much closer to other species in the animal kingdom than we realize.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recently published study sheds new light on the pecking order in parrots and factors that might change flock dynamics.
