Abstract

Lay summary Captivity has traditionally been considered a stressful habitat for wildlife. In this study, urofaecal glucocorticoid metabolites of wild and captive Blue-fronted amazon parrots (Amazona aestiva) subjected to different husbandry systems were determined. Results reveal lower corticoid levels in individuals maintained in captivity than in the free-ranging ones.
