Perilaku Harian dan Palatabilitas Pakan Burung Nuri Tanimbar (Eos reticulata Muller, 1841) di Kandang Penangkaran BRIN Bogor

Abstract

Nuri tanimbar (Eos reticulata) tergolong dalam near threatened menurut IUCN. Tujuan penelitian yakni menganalisis perilaku harian serta palatabilitas pakan nuri tanimbar di kandang pemeliharaan. Penelitian dilakukan di kandang penangkaran burung BRIN Bogor pada Desember 2024. Palatabilitas pakan menggunakan metode cafetaria feeding dengan 14 jenis pakan. Perilaku harian dan ingestif menggunakan metode scan sampling recording time sampling one zero. Penelitian dilakukan selama 20 hari terhadap 6 individu. Hasil menunjukkan perilaku harian dominan adalah berkicau (35%). Burung lebih menyukai pakan di ketinggian 2,5 meter dan berada di nampan dibandingkan di ranting. Uji Two-Way ANOVA menunjukkan burung lebih menyukai mentimun, terutama di ketinggian 2,5 meter, sedangkan di ketinggian 1,5 meter terlihat variasi jenis pakan. Total pakan yang diberikan selama 20 hari adalah 157.209 gram, dengan konsumsi rata-rata 401,54 gram/ekor/hari. Air gula merah paling disukai dengan konsumsi tertinggi 43%. Kandungan nutrisi harian per ekor mencapai 310,35 kkal energi, 69,54 g karbohidrat, 6,54 g protein, 1,34 g lemak, dan 301,77 g air.

The Tanimbar parrot (Eos reticulata) is classified as Near Threatened according to the IUCN. The purpose of this study was to analyze the daily behavior and feed palatability of Tanimbar parrots in a captive environment. The research was conducted at the BRIN bird breeding facility in Bogor in December 2024. Feed palatability was assessed using the cafeteria feeding method with 14 types of feed. Daily and ingestive behaviors were observed using the scan sampling recording time sampling one-zero method. The study was carried out over 20 days involving 6 individual parrots. Results showed that the dominant daily behavior was chattering (35%). The birds preferred feed placed at a height of 2.5 meters and served in trays rather than on branches. The Two-Way ANOVA test showed that the birds preferred cucumber, especially at the 2.5 meter height, while at 1.5 meters, feed type variations were more apparent. The total feed provided over 20 days was 157,209 grams, with an average consumption of 401.54 grams per bird per day. Palm sugar water was the most preferred feed with the highest consumption rate of 43%. The average daily nutritional intake per bird reached 310.35 kcal of energy, 69.54 g of carbohydrates, 6.54 g of protein, 1.34 g of fat, and 301.77 g of water.
