I am trying to conduct a study into the changes of behaviors of various animals in captivity versus those in the wild. One animal that is very popular at the zoos I am looking at is the African Spoonbill (Platalea alba). I have been able to find only a single paper that looks at the breeding behaviours in male spoonbills, however none that look at all the behaviours and the changes in captivity. Would anyone know of any useful resources? Or can anyone advise me of any behaviors they have observed?

Thank you very much, 

Matthew
