Resumo: | Cultural aspects motivate the creation of wild birds as pets, a common practice in the Amazon. The curió species (Sporophilaangolensis) stands out as one of the most kept as pets in the North of Brazil, mainly due to its ability after training to be used to hunt other free-ranging birds. Individuals of the species that, when vocalizing, manage to attract other birds and develop the ability to capture other birds, are called curiós-preseiros in the Amazon region. Breeders of curiós-preseiros began to use the species for hunting and also in championships, where the bird that demonstrates the best performance such as speed and dexterity when seizing the opponent wins the dispute. This study aimed to obtain information about the relationship between humans and curió by breeders of the species and describe how curió-preseiro competitions take place in an Amazonian setting. Data were obtained through semi-structured interviews with curió breeders from the municipalities of Altamira and Brazil Novo, southwest of Pará, where breeding and championships using the species are traditional. Qualitative data were discussed through content analysis. 20 people were interviewed, most of them men (90%). As a result, we describe how the hunting championships take place, which take place through videos of the moment of capture, shared in specific groups on social media, where the sale prices of champion birds reach up to R$30,000. Thus, we provide relevant information on cultural and social aspects regarding the creation of the species in the region. |

A espécie curió (Sporophilaangolensis) se destaca como uma das mais mantidas como animal de estimação na região Norte do Brasil, principalmente pela sua capacidade após o treinamento de ser usada para a caça de outros pássaros livres da natureza. Os indivíduos da espécie que, ao vocalizar, conseguem atrair outros pássaros e desenvolvem a habilidade de capturar outras aves, são chamados na região amazônica de curiós-preseiros. Os criadores de curiós-preseiros passaram a utilizar a espécie para a caça e também em campeonatos, onde a ave que demonstra melhor desempenho como velocidade e destreza ao apreender o oponente vence a disputa. Este estudo teve como objetivo obter informações sobre a relação do ser humano com o curió por criadores da espécie e descrever como acontecem as competições de curió-preseiro em um cenário amazônico. Os dados foram obtidos através de entrevistas semiestruturadas com criadores do curió dos municípios de Altamira e Brasil Novo, sudoeste do Pará, onde a criação e os campeonatos utilizando a espécie são tradicionais. Os dados qualitativos foram discutidos através da análise de conteúdo. Foram entrevistadas 20 pessoas, a maioria homens (90%). Como resultado, descrevemos como ocorrem os campeonatos de disputa preseira, que acontecem através de vídeos do momento da captura, compartilhados em grupos específicos nas mídias sociais, onde os valores de venda dos pássaros campeões atingem até R$ 30.000,00. Assim, fornecemos informações relevantes sobre aspectos culturais e sociais em relação à criação da espécie na região.Universidade Estadual De Maringá2024-05-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/ActaSciHumanSocSci/article/view/7044210.4025/actascihumansoc.v46i1.70442Acta Scientiarum.
