"How do you know if you are not feeling great? What are the signs you might show if you are unhappy in your environment?"

There are a number of recognised behaviours that indicate poor psychological wellbeing of animals in captivity. When animals experience poor welfare standards, they may display unusual / uncharacteristic behaviours. These unusual behaviours could fall into these categories: stereotypical behaviours, misdirected behaviours, redirected behaviours, alter levels of activity, change in appetite / feeding habits, and failure in sexual or parental behaviour.
