Evaluation of Intraosseous Excretory Urography Using Iodixanol for Renal Imaging in Budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus). [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
This study demonstrates that intraosseous injection of iodixanol into the proximal tibiotarsal bone provides a reliable, safe, and practical method for diagnostic excretory urography in budgerigars. The technique offers clear visualisation of renal structures and can be an alternative when intravenous access is limited in avian patients.

General practice veterinarians' attitudes towards avian influenza: A COM-B analysis of barriers to backyard poultry treatment. [PDF]

Vet Rec
Abstract Background The recent expansion of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 to non‐avian species in the United States has intensified public health‐related concerns. In Great Britain, low veterinarian confidence in seeing and treating birds creates potential barriers to HPAI diagnosis and reporting.

The Effects of Human Presence, Restraint, and Stressed Neighbors on Corticosterone Levels in Domesticated Budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus). [PDF]

Zoo Biol
Female budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus) did not significantly elevate their plasma corticosterone levels in response to human presence at the beginning of the experiment. However, plasma corticosterone was significantly elevated by restraint stress, the return of a neighbor that received restraint stress, and human presence at the end of the ...

Opportunistic sampling from the near-threatened Alexandrine parakeet uncovers genomes of a novel parvovirus and beak and feather disease virus. [PDF]

Aust Vet J
Birds are known to harbour a wide range of pathogenic viruses, including the beak and feather disease virus (BFDV; species, Circovirus parrot), which poses a significant threat to the conservation of endangered avian species. This study reports the genomic identification and characterisation of a novel psittaciform chaphamaparvovirus (PsChPV‐6) and ...

Use of MALDI-TOF for identification and surveillance of gram-negative bacteria in captive wild psittacines

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2021
Microbiological studies of the sanitary and health status of psittacine birds that will be reintroduced is important in evaluating whether these animals act as carriers of pathogenic agents to other animals and humans.

Prevalence of Sarcocystis calchasi in free-ranging host species: Accipiter hawks and Common Woodpigeon in Germany [PDF]

, 2012
The apicomplexan parasite Sarcocystis calchasi (S. calchasi) triggers pigeon protozoal encephalitis, a neurologic disease in columbids. Accipiter hawks have been identified as the final host, and Columbidae and Psittaciformes as intermediate hosts.
