Alloy [1979] states that inactivity displayed by an animal may be caused by learned helplessness, if the subject has the experience that there is no possibility to escape an environment perceived as negative. For a captive born animal, Mina appeared to have trouble coping with changes to her surroundings or daily routine and remained continually fearful, aggressive and uncooperative.  Additionally, she was easily startled by loud noises (e.g. door slamming or the arrival of a garbage truck) and usually refused to come inside at night, leaving the keepers with no alternative but to use a herding board to coax her in. For these reasons, a training program was implemented with the hopes of improving Mina’s quality of life and making management easier on both her and the keepers.\r\n\r\n<strong>Preparation</strong>\r\n\r\nThere were many obstacles to overcome in the initial stages of Mina’s training.  The first was to find a food item for which she would be motivated to train.  A variety of treats were offered to her each day but she showed no interest in anything except her normal diet, particularly the meat.  The second obstacle was that due to her temperament, direct contact was impossible and training would have to take place via protected contact in her night quarters (Photo 1).\r\n\r\nThis limited the ways in which we could get close enough to her or get her attention if she chose not to approach us herself.  Further complicating matters was a third obstacle: she wouldn’t approach anyone, ever.  However all of this changed with the introduction of something that was not initially considered to be of importance: a new keeper.\r\n\r\nIt was decided early on that Molly Feldman, the Keeper Apprentice, would be put in charge of Mina’s training.  Molly had only been working at the museum for a few weeks and along with the other keepers, had been given the opportunity of trying to get Mina accustomed to hand feeding (using tongs) through the fence in her night quarters (Photo 2). Everyone had tried coaxing her out of her den each day but she wouldn’t move, even for a piece of mouse or chicken.  Instead she remained as hidden as possible, hissing and snarling at anyone who tried talking to her or came within her line of vision.  It was therefore a surprise when one day she cautiously made her way over to Molly, snatched the meat from the tongs and quickly retreated to her “safe place.”  After seeing Mina respond to a new keeper with whom she had no previous associations, it was realized that this was the way to get her training program started.  It was also decided that Mina would be trained with the meat from her diet since it seemed to be the only thing she ate consistently and would not be at risk of becoming overweight from the use of extra treats.  With the initial obstacles seemingly overcome, the process of building a trusting relationship between badger and human began.\r\n\r\n<strong>Training</strong>\r\n\r\nGaining Mina’s trust was critical to the success of her training plan. The first month was devoted to getting her comfortable enough with her trainer’s presence and allowing her to hand feed.  This meant sitting on the ground outside of her run, offering pieces of food through the fence and waiting for a response. The environment had to be as secure as possible with few external noises and limited movement by the trainer.  Sudden movements would quickly send her back into her den, hissing and shaking.  After a few weeks of patiently encouraging her to eat from the tongs, Mina was already displaying less aggression and approached the trainer more readily.  She had progressed from quickly taking the meat and leaving, to staying to chew one piece; then two, then three.  Once she was consistently eating all the meat without retreating, it was decided that their relationship had a secure enough foundation to move forward and introduce the verbal bridge, “good”. At this point Mina was still very reactive to everything, voices being no exception, so the trainer began by whispering the bridge as Mina simultaneously took a piece of meat from the tongs.  Her initial response was to hiss and retreat, come back for another piece and repeat.  However after only a few sessions the trainer was able to speak louder and louder until Mina was accustomed to the regular volume of her voice.\r\n\r\nThe next stage was to desensitize Mina to movement, as any change in the trainer’s seated position would cause displays of disapproval.  This began by slowly making small movements such as leaning to the side or stretching out a leg, all the while continuing to strengthen the bridge.  This progressed to the trainer being able to stand up and sit back down, while reinforcing Mina for remaining calm throughout.  By the end of the second month it seemed she was understanding the bridge and had even begun exhibiting signs of positive emotions associated with improved coping behavior, as pointed out by Boissy et al. (2007): “A number of signs can indicate positive experience in animals – for example, successful coping, reward and wanting, resulting in goal-directed behavior.”  Mina was demonstrating less fear and aggression and was willingly participating in most training sessions.  She seemed eager to approach the trainer and continually appeared interested and motivated.  Thus with the bridge checked off the list and her trust in the trainer clearly established, Mina was ready to move on to learning other behaviors that would hopefully allow her transformation to continue.\r\n\r\nThe following eight months of training progressed very quickly.  Training sessions were conducted five days per week, twice a day if time allowed.  They initially took place in the morning and evening, but this was changed to a variable schedule as she was not always motivated during these times of the day.  In the end, the unpredictability made her much easier to shift as she would eagerly come inside at any time, expecting a session to take place (Photo 3).\r\n\r\nUnpredictability was also beneficial in eradicating the potential for superstitious behaviors.  In the beginning, Mina was very sensitive to change.  However once her behaviors became stronger, the trainer began to make changes such as re-arranging the furniture in her run, training occasionally with the guillotine door open, or leaving the radio turned up.   While she was still sometimes spooked by an unforeseen noise, she very rarely ended her participation because of it. Each session began in the same place, the front left corner of the run, which became an unofficial station.  She had developed a “calm position” during our desensitization stage where she would stick her nose through the fence and wait (Photo 4).  The trainer took advantage of this and started by gently touching her on the nose with the target pole (the end of a broomstick which was padded for safety) and saying the word “Target”. This progressed to holding it against her nose for longer and longer periods of time before bridging. Eventually it was moved over a few inches, then a few feet, until she would consistently move to wherever it was placed. Later in the year, the trainer was able to use this behavior to train another: climbing the fence.  By asking her to target above her head, she would pull herself up exposing her abdomen, and could be asked to climb higher or climb down simply by moving the target pole around.  The pole was phased out and was replaced with hand cues in conjunction with a hold behavior so she did not climb down before being asked (Photo 5).  These behaviors were all precursors to the goal of injection training, which would also require the essential element of touch. As Mina’s behavior was changing throughout the year, so was her personality.  Mina began exhibiting signs of positive emotions with improved coping behavior and demonstrating less fear and aggression. Once a timid badger, she was now bold enough to reach her arm through the fence with her paw if the trainer was not going fast enough.  The trainer took advantage of this by capturing the behavior known as “Paw,” in which Mina reached through the fence and placed her paw in the trainer’s open palm.  This became her strongest behavior and a consistent way to reward her if she was struggling with something else.  It also introduced the concept of touch, which was extended to scratching her belly during a climb, and eventually to being poked on the flank with a capped pen in the beginning stages of injection training.\r\n\r\nBy this time, Molly’s apprenticeship was coming to an end.  It became necessary to begin introducing a secondary trainer and hopefully transfer the behaviors Mina had learned over the past eight months.  As with everything else, this process required patience and persistence.  Rather than being asked for behaviors, Mina was simply rewarded for staying calm and coming out of her den in the presence of a second person.  Mina was not quite ready to train but was comfortable enough to take food from another person when her new trainer, Eunice Hui, was finally introduced.  It was therefore decided that Eunice would begin building her own trusting relationship with Mina, by simply hand feeding her until Mina was prepared to move on.\r\n\r\nThanks to Molly’s many months of hard work in establishing a baseline for training behaviors, Eunice was able to take over with minimal setbacks.  She was introduced to Mina as a secondary trainer in February 2010 and became the primary in June 2010.  The goals for Mina at that time were to tighten the criteria for some of her established behaviors, continue with injection training and begin crate training (Mina was to willingly enter her transport crate and allow the door to be closed and locked).  This was no easy task as Mina had strong, negative associations with the crate due to years of forced entry for veterinary check-ups, weighing and other management needs. Mina’s den in the night house was replaced with her crate.  The trainer captured the behavior by saying “crate” every time she entered the crate.  It took her about one month to enter the crate on command after the behavior was captured. It took almost a year of practice, including closing, locking and opening the door while she was inside, before the behavior was learned in full. Injection training was a less complicated process, although there were some minor issues to deal with along the way.  The first thing that needed to be done was to improve the climbing behavior so that Mina was positioned with her left rear leg pressed against the fence.  Having her climb in the corner of the run was the only way to accomplish this, so the trainer began rewarding her only when she was fully situated there. The day she realized what the trainer was doing, it was as if a light bulb turned on in her head!  It was amazing to see her understand what the trainer wanted from her; she climbed up onto the chain link and scooted her body against the corner of the cage.  It was truly a breakthrough as from this moment forward she consistently performed the behavior correctly and allowed the trainer to begin working on desensitization to the feel of an injection.  Using the end of a pen, the trainer began by lightly touching Mina on the left flank.  While she had no particular response to this, her “Hold” behavior was inconsistent and she began sliding down the fence prematurely. The trainer decided to extinguish that behavior and replace it with a cue for her to climb “down” on command.  This worked magnificently and allowed the trainer to continue desensitizing her to the feel of a pen, syringe tip, blunt needle and finally a sharp needle (Photo 6).  It took a total of six months but on the 11th of August 2011 she was successfully hand injected with a rabies vaccine, using a 19 gauge needle!\r\n\r\n<strong>Challenges and Changes</strong>\r\n\r\nIt took two years of training before Mina consistently performed the injection and crating behaviors, and there were many setbacks along the way.  During the late fall, she went through a natural period of inactivity for approximately two months in which she spent most of the day sleeping.  Her decreased appetite at this time left her with no interest in training. We also experienced problems if we challenged her too much or moved too quickly.  Her frustration was expressed by aggressive vocalizations or refusing to engage in training.  Initially this meant regressing to a more simple behavior and moving forward again in smaller steps, even if this took weeks.  Setbacks like this made it seem as though she was not progressing, especially in the beginning.  However, slowly but surely, we began to see changes in her overall behavior. She started to anticipate training sessions and anytime she heard the door close in the service area, she would immediately wake up and wait for us to let her in for training.  She also began to willingly come inside her night house without the keepers having to use a herding board and her interest in enrichment increased dramatically. Her improved<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2772" title="mina1" src="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/wp-content/uploads/mina1.jpg" alt="mina1" width="600" height="423" />temperament has also helped her in recovering from fearful experiences more quickly.\r\n\r\nBefore training began, any sudden or loud noise would send her frantically into a hiding place, hissing and grunting as she went.  In the initial stages of training this was enough for her to end a session and steps had to be taken to ensure there were as few “surprises” as possible.  Today, though she may still react to an unexpected event, she is able to recover within a matter of seconds and continue with what she was doing.\r\n\r\n<strong>Conclusion</strong>\r\n\r\nMina went from fearful, aggressive and reclusive to a confident…\r\n<div><strong><em>For this and much more every month, see Animal Keepers’ Forum.

(2007): “A number of signs can indicate positive experience in animals – for example, successful coping, reward and wanting, resulting in goal-directed behavior.”  Mina was demonstrating less fear and aggression and was willingly participating in most training sessions.  She seemed eager to approach the trainer and continually appeared interested and motivated.  Thus with the bridge checked off the list and her trust in the trainer clearly established, Mina was ready to move on to learning other behaviors that would hopefully allow her transformation to continue.\n\nThe following eight months of training progressed very quickly.  Training sessions were conducted five days per week, twice a day if time allowed.  They initially took place in the morning and evening, but this was changed to a variable schedule as she was not always motivated during these times of the day.  In the end, the unpredictability made her much easier to shift as she would eagerly come inside at any time, expecting a session to take place (Photo 3).\n\nUnpredictability was also beneficial in eradicating the potential for superstitious behaviors.  In the beginning, Mina was very sensitive to change.  However once her behaviors became stronger, the trainer began to make changes such as re-arranging the furniture in her run, training occasionally with the guillotine door open, or leaving the radio turned up.   While she was still sometimes spooked by an unforeseen noise, she very rarely ended her participation because of it. Each session began in the same place, the front left corner of the run, which became an unofficial station.  She had developed a “calm position” during our desensitization stage where she would stick her nose through the fence and wait (Photo 4).  The trainer took advantage of this and started by gently touching her on the nose with the target pole (the end of a broomstick which was padded for safety) and saying the word “Target”. This progressed to holding it against her nose for longer and longer periods of time before bridging. Eventually it was moved over a few inches, then a few feet, until she would consistently move to wherever it was placed. Later in the year, the trainer was able to use this behavior to train another: climbing the fence.  By asking her to target above her head, she would pull herself up exposing her abdomen, and could be asked to climb higher or climb down simply by moving the target pole around.  The pole was phased out and was replaced with hand cues in conjunction with a hold behavior so she did not climb down before being asked (Photo 5).  These behaviors were all precursors to the goal of injection training, which would also require the essential element of touch. As Mina’s behavior was changing throughout the year, so was her personality.  Mina began exhibiting signs of positive emotions with improved coping behavior and demonstrating less fear and aggression. Once a timid badger, she was now bold enough to reach her arm through the fence with her paw if the trainer was not going fast enough.  The trainer took advantage of this by capturing the behavior known as “Paw,” in which Mina reached through the fence and placed her paw in the trainer’s open palm.  This became her strongest behavior and a consistent way to reward her if she was struggling with something else.  It also introduced the concept of touch, which was extended to scratching her belly during a climb, and eventually to being poked on the flank with a capped pen in the beginning stages of injection training.\n\nBy this time, Molly’s apprenticeship was coming to an end.  It became necessary to begin introducing a secondary trainer and hopefully transfer the behaviors Mina had learned over the past eight months.  As with everything else, this process required patience and persistence.  Rather than being asked for behaviors, Mina was simply rewarded for staying calm and coming out of her den in the presence of a second person.  Mina was not quite ready to train but was comfortable enough to take food from another person when her new trainer, Eunice Hui, was finally introduced.  It was therefore decided that Eunice would begin building her own trusting relationship with Mina, by simply hand feeding her until Mina was prepared to move on.\n\nThanks to Molly’s many months of hard work in establishing a baseline for training behaviors, Eunice was able to take over with minimal setbacks.  She was introduced to Mina as a secondary trainer in February 2010 and became the primary in June 2010.  The goals for Mina at that time were to tighten the criteria for some of her established behaviors, continue with injection training and begin crate training (Mina was to willingly enter her transport crate and allow the door to be closed and locked).  This was no easy task as Mina had strong, negative associations with the crate due to years of forced entry for veterinary check-ups, weighing and other management needs. Mina’s den in the night house was replaced with her crate.  The trainer captured the behavior by saying “crate” every time she entered the crate.  It took her about one month to enter the crate on command after the behavior was captured. It took almost a year of practice, including closing, locking and opening the door while she was inside, before the behavior was learned in full. Injection training was a less complicated process, although there were some minor issues to deal with along the way.  The first thing that needed to be done was to improve the climbing behavior so that Mina was positioned with her left rear leg pressed against the fence.  Having her climb in the corner of the run was the only way to accomplish this, so the trainer began rewarding her only when she was fully situated there. The day she realized what the trainer was doing, it was as if a light bulb turned on in her head!  It was amazing to see her understand what the trainer wanted from her; she climbed up onto the chain link and scooted her body against the corner of the cage.  It was truly a breakthrough as from this moment forward she consistently performed the behavior correctly and allowed the trainer to begin working on desensitization to the feel of an injection.  Using the end of a pen, the trainer began by lightly touching Mina on the left flank.  While she had no particular response to this, her “Hold” behavior was inconsistent and she began sliding down the fence prematurely. The trainer decided to extinguish that behavior and replace it with a cue for her to climb “down” on command.  This worked magnificently and allowed the trainer to continue desensitizing her to the feel of a pen, syringe tip, blunt needle and finally a sharp needle (Photo 6).  It took a total of six months but on the 11th of August 2011 she was successfully hand injected with a rabies vaccine, using a 19 gauge needle!\n\n<strong>Challenges and Changes</strong>\n\nIt took two years of training before Mina consistently performed the injection and crating behaviors, and there were many setbacks along the way.  During the late fall, she went through a natural period of inactivity for approximately two months in which she spent most of the day sleeping.  Her decreased appetite at this time left her with no interest in training. We also experienced problems if we challenged her too much or moved too quickly.  Her frustration was expressed by aggressive vocalizations or refusing to engage in training.  Initially this meant regressing to a more simple behavior and moving forward again in smaller steps, even if this took weeks.  Setbacks like this made it seem as though she was not progressing, especially in the beginning.  However, slowly but surely, we began to see changes in her overall behavior. She started to anticipate training sessions and anytime she heard the door close in the service area, she would immediately wake up and wait for us to let her in for training.  She also began to willingly come inside her night house without the keepers having to use a herding board and her interest in enrichment increased dramatically. Her improved temperament has also helped her in recovering from fearful experiences more quickly.\n\nBefore training began, any sudden or loud noise would send her frantically into a hiding place, hissing and grunting as she went.  In the initial stages of training this was enough for her to end a session and steps had to be taken to ensure there were as few “surprises” as possible.  Today, though she may still react to an unexpected event, she is able to recover within a matter of seconds and continue with what she was doing. <img class="alignright size-large wp-image-2771" title="mina" src="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/wp-content/uploads/mina-1024x722.jpg" alt="mina" width="1024" height="722" />\n\n<strong>Conclusion</strong>\n\nMina went from fearful, aggressive and reclusive to a confident…\n<div><strong><em>For this and much more every month, see Animal Keepers’ Forum.

That\'s when the idea came to start a national bowl-a-thon called Bowling For Rhinos.\r\n\r\nThe beauty of the idea is that these fundraisers are organized by volunteers, who donate their time and organizational skills to help raise money to send directly to the places in need. Since all the people involved are volunteers, <strong>100% of all donations</strong> are sent directly to these in situ rhino conservation areas!\r\n\r\n<a href="http://aazkbfr.org/images/lewa/slides/blackrhinos_004.jpg"> <img src="http://aazkbfr.org/images/lewa/thumbs/blackrhinos_004.jpg" border="1" alt="" hspace="10" vspace="10" align="left" /></a> In Kenya Africa BFR supports the <a href="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/committee/bowling-for-rhinos/lewa-wildlife-conservancy-lwc/">Lewa Wildlife Conservancy</a> where our donations help protect both black and white rhinos and most of the other species native to East Africa.\r\n\r\n<a href="http://aazkbfr.org/images/indonesia/slides/sumatranrhino.jpg"> <img src="http://aazkbfr.org/images/indonesia/thumbs/sumatranrhino.jpg" border="1" alt="" hspace="10" vspace="10" align="right" /></a> In Indonesia BFR supports the remaining Javan Rhinos at Ujung Kulon National Park and the Sumatran Rhinos in Bukit Barisan Selatan and Way Kambas National Parks through the <a href="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/committee/bowling-for-rhinos/international-rhino-foundation-irf/">International Rhino Foundation</a>.\r\n\r\nBFR also supports <a href="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/committee/bowling-for-rhinos/action-for-cheetahs-in-kenya-ack/">Action for Cheetahs in Kenya</a>. Cheetahs share much of the same habitat as rhinos and by working to conserve cheetahs we are also saving rhinos and the countless other species that call that habitat home.\r\n\r\nMany organizations participate in these events, and have added the Rocking For Rhinos, Rummage For Rhinos, and Recycling For Rhinos projects as other ways to raise funds for this very worthwhile project.\r\n\r\n<em><strong>Bowling For Rhinos has broken the $4 million mark and we continue to reach towards attaining our goal of $500,000/year!</strong></em> Together with you AAZK can do it. We have and will continue to make a difference in the conservation world. Please send  your organization\'s contact person/contact info ASAP along with the date of your event to our  national BFR Coordinator. Please  contact Patty Pearthree: <a href="mailto:patty.pearthree@aecetia.net/gws/aazk">patty.pearthree@aecetia.net/gws/aazk</a> for more information. Reminder, there is a $25 registration fee for BFR events which covers administrative costs so that 100% of all donation can go directly to rhino conservation.\r\n\r\nThere is a new Yahoo groups email for Bowling For Rhino Coordinators.

That\'s when the idea came to start a national bowl-a-thon called Bowling For Rhinos.\r\n\r\nThe beauty of the idea is that these fundraisers are organized by volunteers, who donate their time and organizational skills to help raise money to send directly to the places in need. Since all the people involved are volunteers, <strong>100% of all donations</strong> are sent directly to these in situ rhino conservation areas!\r\n\r\n<a href="http://aazkbfr.org/images/lewa/slides/blackrhinos_004.jpg"> <img src="http://aazkbfr.org/images/lewa/thumbs/blackrhinos_004.jpg" border="1" alt="" hspace="10" vspace="10" align="left" /></a> In Kenya Africa BFR supports the <a href="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/committee/bowling-for-rhinos/lewa-wildlife-conservancy-lwc/">Lewa Wildlife Conservancy</a> where our donations help protect both black and white rhinos and most of the other species native to East Africa.\r\n\r\n<a href="http://aazkbfr.org/images/indonesia/slides/sumatranrhino.jpg"> <img src="http://aazkbfr.org/images/indonesia/thumbs/sumatranrhino.jpg" border="1" alt="" hspace="10" vspace="10" align="right" /></a> In Indonesia BFR supports the remaining Javan Rhinos at Ujung Kulon National Park and the Sumatran Rhinos in Bukit Barisan Selatan and Way Kambas National Parks through the <a href="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/committee/bowling-for-rhinos/international-rhino-foundation-irf/">International Rhino Foundation</a>.\r\n\r\nBFR also supports <a href="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/committee/bowling-for-rhinos/action-for-cheetahs-in-kenya-ack/">Action for Cheetahs in Kenya</a>. Cheetahs share much of the same habitat as rhinos and by working to conserve cheetahs we are also saving rhinos and the countless other species that call that habitat home.\r\n\r\nMany organizations participate in these events, and have added the Rocking For Rhinos, Rummage For Rhinos, and Recycling For Rhinos projects as other ways to raise funds for this very worthwhile project.\r\n\r\n<em><strong>Bowling For Rhinos has broken the $4 million mark and we continue to reach towards attaining our goal of $500,000/year!</strong></em> Together with you AAZK can do it. We have and will continue to make a difference in the conservation world.

Visual enrichment can be a very easy, low cost, and highly effective way to enrich virtually any species. At Zoo Atlanta we have used countless items to visually stimulate our animals. A few of these items are listed in Figure A.  In general, the animals do not have physical contact with these items for various safety reasons.\r\n\r\nMost of the items listed in Figure A have been used as enrichment for our primate collection and many have enriched some of our birds and carnivores.  We’ve found that visual enrichment works particularly well for our Asian small-clawed otters (<em>Aonyx cinerea</em>), an inquisitive, high energy group. Shining a laser pointer on the floor will usually lead the group into a game of chase. Running after the small speck of light as it goes up and down, over and under obstacles never seems to get old for this group. The laser pointer is not only a great item for getting the otters active and exercising, it also provides unending entertainment for the otter keepers!\r\n\r\nWe also change things up a bit in the otter holding area whenever possible by hanging up large paper toucan and flamingo cutouts, flower garlands, stickers, and Christmas lights. These items do not usually increase activity, but they give the otters some new and different things to look at and are rotated out frequently. <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2800" title="giraffe_lights" src="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/wp-content/uploads/giraffe_lights.jpg" alt="giraffe_lights" width="618" height="454" />\r\n\r\nColorful chalk drawings can be fun for both keepers and the animals. One of our cat keepers drew all over the floors and walls in the Sumatran tiger (<em>Panthera tigris sumatrae</em>) dens. When the tigers came in, they explored each drawing and even hissed at some of the sketches.\r\n\r\nEven keepers themselves can be enriching. Over the years, I have heard stories from keepers who have dressed up in masks, big silly hats or costume jewelry, and some even dance to music for the animals.\r\n\r\nOne of the most successful items that we have used is the Liquid Light Projector. Although this particular item is no longer sold, there are many others like it still on the market. The Liquid Light Projector is especially interesting because it projects moving colored lights onto walls and it has a great range. When shown to the gorillas (<em>Gorilla gorilla</em>) through their mesh enclosure, they tried to pick the colors off with their nails and they licked the walls where the lights were projected. Some of the gorillas just sat and watched the lights, while others tried to groom the lights off of their cage mates. When the projected lights were shown in the room with some of our show birds, the Pied crow (<em>Corvus albus</em>) vocalized with soft “oohs” and “ahhs,” while the Abyssinian Ground hornbill (<em>Bucorvus abyssinicus</em>) perched and watched intently as the lights moved around. The lions (<em>Panthera leo</em>) reacted to the lights by rubbing on the wall where the lights were projected and they pawed at the wall. One of our lion cubs sat in the center of the light beam and stared at his shadow which was surrounded by moving colored lights.\r\n\r\nWhenever possible our keepers provide the animals with the ability to remove themselves from the location of the visual enrichment in case these items cause the animal stress. Timers are used with the lights and projectors so that the animals are not exposed to lights and movement for an extended period of time and because some of these items may overheat if left on for too long.\r\n\r\nVisual enrichment can be stimulating for the animals, is not time consuming, and is usually mess-free. Visual enrichment is great for animals on strict diets because it can be engaging without involving food. The next time you walk into a holding area or animal exhibit, look around and see if there is anything you can do to change things up a bit. It doesn’t have to be anything big or scary, especially at first. Some animals need to be exposed to something new gradually, but with patience and creativity you can really spice things up with a picture, mirror, poster, stickers, or even colorful lights.\r\n<div><strong><em>For this and much more every month, see Animal Keepers’ Forum.

Extensive parental care, including incubation, food provisioning, and nest defense, allows for chicks to survive in a harsh environment.  Parental care may even extend past fledging, as adult Gentoo penguins have been observed to offer food to chicks that have dispersed and then returned to their original colony (Polito &amp; Trivelpiece, 2008).\r\n\r\nThere is disagreement among researchers about the relative amount of time and energy invested by male and female Gentoo penguins in courtship/nesting behaviors.  Polito and Trivelpiece (2008) noted a higher level of female parental investment in post-copulation behavior.  Further, females have been shown to lose more biomass during chick rearing compared to males, suggesting that post-copulation parental investment is not equal between the sexes (Lescroël, 2009).  On the other hand, some studies show that males and females invest equal proportions of time incubating eggs (Croxall, 1982; Davis, 1989), leading other researchers to suggest that parental investment between males and females is nearly equivalent (Bingham, 2008).\r\n\r\nThe Milwaukee County Zoo successfully bred Gentoo penguins for the first time in 2010-11, with two pairs producing chicks in the 2010-11 breeding season.  The objectives of this study were to: a) monitor courtship and breeding behaviors of males and females during the second breeding season, b) compare the behavior of birds that were successful breeders in 2010-11 to those that were unsuccessful, and c) investigate factors influencing aggression during courtship and breeding.  We predicted that the amount of time invested in courtship/nesting behaviors would differ between genders.  We expected an increase in the amount of time invested in courtship/nesting behavior as they entered the breeding period and a correlation between increased courtship/nesting behaviors with breeding success.  We also predicted that the frequency of aggressive behaviors would increase throughout the courtship/nesting period, with a higher amount of aggressive behaviors shown by females.\r\n\r\n<strong>Methods:</strong>\r\nWe investigated the behavior of captive Gentoo penguins at the Milwaukee County Zoo.  The exhibit contains eight Gentoo penguins (<em>Pygoscelies papua</em>) and twelve rockhopper penguins (<em>Eudyptes chrysocome</em>).  Three male/female adult pairs were observed (Table 1).  In the 2010-11 season, two pairs produced chicks (Oscar &amp; Daphne, Felix &amp; Olive). Due to a medical situation, the remaining male (Marvin) was kept at the Animal Health Center and thus was not present in the exhibit during the 2010-11 courtship period.  The remaining female (Fiona) did not appear to assist in chick rearing in 2010-11.  Marvin was returned to the enclosure after the chicks were hatched.  The other two Gentoo penguins in the enclosure were chicks from the previous year that had not yet reached sexual maturity, and thus were not considered in the study.  All penguins were marked with individually-recognizable combinations of colored bands.\r\n\r\nThe exhibit was well suited for penguin nesting with multiple flat rock surfaces at varying heights around the perimeter.  The rock surfaces surround a pool with a rock column in the center that forms a bridge to the perimeter rocks (Figure 1).  The center rock blocked a portion of the underwater section of the enclosure from observation, but rarely affected data collection.  The enclosure was kept at 7.2°C – 10°C.  Observations were made from the public viewing area and observers moved to follow the focal animal during each observation session.  In October, zoo keepers placed small inner tubes at sites that had been used for nesting in the 2010-2011 breeding season and brought small rocks into the enclosure for nesting materials.  Enrichment items (ex. sprinkler, rubber ball, stuffed octopus, and partially deflated inner tubes) were placed in the enclosure at various times.  Interactions with enrichment items were taken into account in the ethogram.\r\n\r\nThe Gentoos were observed prior to data collection using an ethogram from a study of captive Humboldt penguins (Merritt &amp; King, 1987).  After the initial observation period, the Humboldt ethogram was adapted for the captive Gentoo penguins by grouping individual behaviors based on the needs of this study and revising definitions as needed.  For example, seven aggressive behaviors from the Humboldt ethogram were grouped into four categories based on whether the behavior involved physical contact and if the behavior was directed toward a member of the same or different species.  The final ethogram (Appendix A) was designed to include a broad variety of behaviors to account for changes in behavior from the norm as Gentoos entered the courtship period.\r\n\r\nTo compare the relative time invested in courtship/nesting behaviors, a combination of all-occurrences sampling and focal animal sampling was used (Martin &amp; Bateson, 2007).  One individual was observed at a time over a 30-minute period, recording all behaviors from the ethogram except for aggression at 15-second intervals.  Because aggressive behavior occurred in discrete and conspicuous bouts, all occurrences of aggressive behaviors were recorded during the full observation period.  Each penguin was observed for two 20-minute sessions and nine 30-minute sessions.  Some observation sessions were disturbed by the entrance of a zoo keeper to clean the enclosure or to feed the penguins.  In the majority of cases, this altered observed behavior.  Since feeding time was scheduled around the same time of day, observation sessions were rotated so that each observation session was subject to the same potential disruption.\r\n\r\nObservations were conducted from October 1st to November 19th, 2011 between 1:00 – 4:00 pm on Mondays and between 8:00 am – 12:00 pm on Saturdays.  This reduced potential bias from behavioral changes at scheduled feeding times.  One observer collected data on the male while the other collected data on the female at the same time so that any introduced situational bias (ex. the entrance of a zoo keeper to the enclosure) would be the same for each sex.  Data collection was standardized on two occasions to ensure 85% or better inter-observer reliability.<img class="alignright size-large wp-image-2807" title="penguin" src="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/wp-content/uploads/penguin-1024x518.jpg" alt="penguin" width="512" height="259" />\r\n\r\nThe average frequency of each non-aggressive behavior was calculated for individuals and aggregated for all females versus all males.  The average occurrence of aggressive behaviors was calculated for each day and graphed to assess any change in frequency over time.  Means are presented +/- one standard deviation.\r\n\r\n<strong>Results:</strong>\r\nTwo pairs formed during the courtship/nesting period (Oscar &amp; Daphne; Olive &amp; Felix).  The other male (Marvin) and female (Fiona) displayed courtship/nesting behaviors, but did not appear to preferentially direct such behaviors toward any particular individual.  On average, males had a slightly higher percent of time invested in courtship/nesting behaviors (pairing: 0.7 +/- 5.8%; nesting: 25.5 +/- 32.5%) compared to females (pairing: 0.2 +/- 0.8%; nesting: 21.0 +/- 32.8%; Figure 2), although the time budgets were highly variable between days.  Nest guarding behaviors stayed relatively…\r\n\r\n<strong>For this and much more every month, see Animal Keepers’ Forum.

Extensive parental care, including incubation, food provisioning, and nest defense, allows for chicks to survive in a harsh environment.  Parental care may even extend past fledging, as adult Gentoo penguins have been observed to offer food to chicks that have dispersed and then returned to their original colony (Polito &amp; Trivelpiece, 2008).\n\nThere is disagreement among researchers about the relative amount of time and energy invested by male and female Gentoo penguins in courtship/nesting behaviors.  Polito and Trivelpiece (2008) noted a higher level of female parental investment in post-copulation behavior.  Further, females have been shown to lose more biomass during chick rearing compared to males, suggesting that post-copulation parental investment is not equal between the sexes (Lescroël, 2009).  On the other hand, some studies show that males and females invest equal proportions of time incubating eggs (Croxall, 1982; Davis, 1989), leading other researchers to suggest that parental investment between males and females is nearly equivalent (Bingham, 2008).\n\nThe Milwaukee County Zoo successfully bred Gentoo penguins for the first time in 2010-11, with two pairs producing chicks in the 2010-11 breeding season.  The objectives of this study were to: a) monitor courtship and breeding behaviors of males and females during the second breeding season, b) compare the behavior of birds that were successful breeders in 2010-11 to those that were unsuccessful, and c) investigate factors influencing aggression during courtship and breeding.  We predicted that the amount of time invested in courtship/nesting behaviors would differ between genders.  We expected an increase in the amount of time invested in courtship/nesting behavior as they entered the breeding period and a correlation between increased courtship/nesting behaviors with breeding success.  We also predicted that the frequency of aggressive behaviors would increase throughout the courtship/nesting period, with a higher amount of aggressive behaviors shown by females.\n\n<strong>Methods:</strong>\nWe investigated the behavior of captive Gentoo penguins at the Milwaukee County Zoo.  The exhibit contains eight Gentoo penguins (<em>Pygoscelies papua</em>) and twelve rockhopper penguins (<em>Eudyptes chrysocome</em>).  Three male/female adult pairs were observed (Table 1).  In the 2010-11 season, two pairs produced chicks (Oscar &amp; Daphne, Felix &amp; Olive). Due to a medical situation, the remaining male (Marvin) was kept at the Animal Health Center and thus was not present in the exhibit during the 2010-11 courtship period.  The remaining female (Fiona) did not appear to assist in chick rearing in 2010-11.  Marvin was returned to the enclosure after the chicks were hatched.  The other two Gentoo penguins in the enclosure were chicks from the previous year that had not yet reached sexual maturity, and thus were not considered in the study.  All penguins were marked with individually-recognizable combinations of colored bands.\n\nThe exhibit was well suited for penguin nesting with multiple flat rock surfaces at varying heights around the perimeter.  The rock surfaces surround a pool with a rock column in the center that forms a bridge to the perimeter rocks (Figure 1).  The center rock blocked a portion of the underwater section of the enclosure from observation, but rarely affected data collection.  The enclosure was kept at 7.2°C – 10°C.  Observations were made from the public viewing area and observers moved to follow the focal animal during each observation session.  In October, zoo keepers placed small inner tubes at sites that had been used for nesting in the 2010-2011 breeding season and brought small rocks into the enclosure for nesting materials.  Enrichment items (ex. sprinkler, rubber ball, stuffed octopus, and partially deflated inner tubes) were placed in the enclosure at various times.  Interactions with enrichment items were taken into account in the ethogram.\n\nThe Gentoos were observed prior to data collection using an ethogram from a study of captive Humboldt penguins (Merritt &amp; King, 1987).  After the initial observation period, the Humboldt ethogram was adapted for the captive Gentoo penguins by grouping individual behaviors based on the needs of this study and revising definitions as needed.  For example, seven aggressive behaviors from the Humboldt ethogram were grouped into four categories based on whether the behavior involved physical contact and if the behavior was directed toward a member of the same or different species.  The final ethogram (Appendix A) was designed to include a broad variety of behaviors to account for changes in behavior from the norm as Gentoos entered the courtship period.\n\nTo compare the relative time invested in courtship/nesting behaviors, a combination of all-occurrences sampling and focal animal sampling was used (Martin &amp; Bateson, 2007).  One individual was observed at a time over a 30-minute period, recording all behaviors from the ethogram except for aggression at 15-second intervals.  Because aggressive behavior occurred in discrete and conspicuous bouts, all occurrences of aggressive behaviors were recorded during the full observation period.  Each penguin was observed for two 20-minute sessions and nine 30-minute sessions.  Some observation sessions were disturbed by the entrance of a zoo keeper to clean the enclosure or to feed the penguins.  In the majority of cases, this altered observed behavior.  Since feeding time was scheduled around the same time of day, observation sessions were rotated so that each observation session was subject to the same potential disruption.\n\nObservations were conducted from October 1st to November 19th, 2011 between 1:00 – 4:00 pm on Mondays and between 8:00 am – 12:00 pm on Saturdays.  This reduced potential bias from behavioral changes at scheduled feeding times.  One observer collected data on the male while the other collected data on the female at the same time so that any introduced situational bias (ex. the entrance of a zoo keeper to the enclosure) would be the same for each sex.  Data collection was standardized on two occasions to ensure 85% or better inter-observer reliability.<img class="alignright size-large wp-image-2807" title="penguin" src="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/wp-content/uploads/penguin-1024x518.jpg" alt="penguin" width="10" height="518" />\n\nThe average frequency of each non-aggressive behavior was calculated for individuals and aggregated for all females24 versus all males.  The average occurrence of aggressive behaviors was calculated for each day and graphed to assess any change in frequency over time.  Means are presented +/- one standard deviation.\n\n<strong>Results:</strong>\nTwo pairs formed during the courtship/nesting period (Oscar &amp;
