Behavioral Assessment of Blue-Fronted Amazon Parrots with Induced Osteoarthritis

Three blue-fronted Amazon parrots were observed across four experimental phases to identify behavioral changes associated with induced osteoarthritis and tramadol analgesia. Behaviors were recorded using focal sampling with instantaneous recordings every 30 seconds during 20-minute sessions. The dataset includes results analyzed via generalized linear mixed models, authored by Isaac Mourao Xavier and last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Training pain assessment models based on behavioral patterns like locomotion and inactivity.
• Evaluating analgesic drug efficacy based on behavioral recovery metrics.
• Developing species-specific ethograms for arthritic pain based on observed behavioral changes.

Strengths

• Includes data from four distinct experimental phases, allowing for within-subject comparisons.
• Behaviors were recorded using a standardized focal sampling method with 30-second intervals.
• Data is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting open reuse with attribution.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is small (2.2 MB), suggesting a limited sample size.
