First detection of Chlamydia avium in healthy Amazon parrots (Amazona aestiva) in Argentina [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2022 In recent years, new Chlamydia species, other than Chlamydia psittaci, have been confirmed in birds. One of these new species, Chlamydia avium, was reported mainly in pigeons and parrots in Europe. Analyzing multimucosal swabs obtained from 7 Amazon parrots (Amazona aestiva) from illegal trade and admitted to the Reserva Experimental Horco Molle ...

Mitochondrial Markers COI and 16S rRNA for the Molecular Identification of Parrots and Macaws Recovered From Illegal Trafficking in Three Areas of Colombia [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.We molecularly characterized parrots (Amazona spp.) and macaws (Ara spp.) rescued from illegal trafficking in Colombia using two mitochondrial markers (COI and 16S rRNA). The COI gene showed high resolution for species identification and revealed considerable intraspecific diversity, while 16S rRNA displayed limited taxonomic resolution.

The effect of premedication with ketamine, alone or with diazepam, on anaesthesia with sevoflurane in parrots (Amazona aestiva) [PDF]
BMC Veterinary Research, 2013 Premedication is rarely used in avian species. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of premedication on the quality of sevoflurane induction and anaesthesia in parrots. We hypothesised that premedication would facilitate handling and decrease the minimum anaesthetic dose (MAD).

Estimated and in vivo measurements of bite force demonstrate exceptionally large bite forces in parrots (Psittaciformes) [PDF]
Journal of Anatomy, Volume 246, Issue 2, Page 299-315, February 2025.Bite force in parrots has been explored using data from muscle masses. The values were validated by comparison with data for bite force collected from live parrots. The parrot's reputation for a strong bite force is well founded. Abstract Jaw morphology and function determine the range of dietary items that an organism can consume.
