Metagenomic Detection of Multiple Viruses in Monk Parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus) in Australia [PDF]
Veterinary Medicine and ScienceBackground Birds are known to harbour many pathogens, including circovirus, herpesviruses, adenoviruses and Chlamydia psittaci. Some of these pose zoonotic risks, while others, such as beak and feather disease virus (BFDV), have a significant impact on ...

LIPOSSARCOMA EM CATURRITA (Myiopsitta monachus) [PDF]
Ciência Animal Brasileira, 2010 Liposarcomas are malignant tumors that involve lipocytes and lipoblasts. This neoplasm is not frequently reported in avian species and generally occurs in adult or old birds and it is always seen in areas of adipose accumulation.

Positional Behavior of Introduced Monk Parakeets (Myiopsitta monachus) in an Urban Landscape. [PDF]
Animals (Basel), 2022 Positional behaviors have been broadly quantified across the Order Primates, and in several other mammalian lineages, to contextualize adaptations to, and evolution within, an arboreal environment. Outside of Mammalia, however, such data are yet to be reported.

Growth curves and their implications in hand-fed Monk parrots (Myiopsitta monachus). [PDF]
Vet Med (Auckl), 2015 Monk parrots (Myiopsitta monachus) were hand-fed over two chick seasons spanning of 2010 to 2011. Information from the growth curve of chicks hand-fed in 2010 was used to develop a feeding protocol for the 2011 season (Protocol-2011). This protocol addressed the problems of delayed followed by excessive growth experienced by parrots hand fed in 2010 ...
