Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice, 2021
The modern avian practitioner may be called upon to manage disease outbreak in aviary or zoologic bird flocks.

Velogenic Newcastle Disease Virus in Captive Wild Birds

Tropical Animal Health and Production, 1998
Newcastle disease virus (NDV) was isolated from the faeces of seven different species of clinically healthy captive wild birds. All seven NDV isolates were characterized as velogenic based on the mean death time in embryonated hens' eggs and the intracerebral pathogenicity index in day-old chicks.

Change of Colour in Captive Birds

Nature, 1920
MR. HAROLD MILLAR invites notes on this subject (NATURE, February 5, p. 600). The case of the crossbill (Loxia curvirostra, Linn.) seems in point.

Veterinary Record, 1983
Fenbendazole was used to treat nematode infestations (Ascaridia species and Capillaria species) in 230 birds of six orders and 38 different species. Using a single dose of 100 mg/kg bodyweight initial treatment eliminated parasitic nematodes from 221 birds.
