A 9-week-old peach-faced lovebird (Agapornis roseicollis) was presented with a 2-week history of progressive dyspnea. Computed tomographic (CT) images were suggestive of splenomegaly and bilateral granulomatous pulmonary disease. Polymerase chain reaction testing of samples from the choana, cloaca, and distal tracheal/syringeal area were positive for Mycobacterium species hsp65. A comparison search of the 400 base pair sequence in the NCBI/BLAST/blastn database revealed a best match of 93% similarity to Gordonia species and 91% similarity to Gordonia bronchialis. Gordonia is a genus in the phylum Actinomycetota, the same lineage that includes Mycobacterium species. Gordonia species can be mistaken for Mycobacterium species unless more definitive diagnostic testing is pursued. Infection caused by Gordonia species is rare in humans. Reports commonly cite infection of immunocompromised patients, and to our knowledge, no reports of treatment have been published in the veterinary literature. After the test results were obtained, the patient was treated with azithromycin and pradofloxacin for 3 months. The lovebird was presented for reexamination when the antibiotic treatment was complete. When reexamined, and a second series of CT images evaluated, it was determined that the treatment achieved clinical resolution of signs and lesions.","PeriodicalId":15102,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Avian Medicine and Surgery","volume":"37 1","pages":"57-61"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9689332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, the authors wanted to determine whether spending time with kin increased tolerance and cooperation between parrots. While many avian species exhibit preferred associations with kin, it is often challenging to separate active preferences from passive overlap. In this study, the authors used a network approach to measure the influence of kinship on social associations and interactions in wild, communally roosting sulphurcrested cockatoos (Cacatua galerita). The roosting behaviors and social associations of 561 marked birds from 3 roosts were measured. Additionally, genetic samples were collected from 205 cockatoos to construct a kinship network. This kinship data were used to evaluate how the genetic relatedness of the birds impacted 4 social networks: association, affiliative, low-intensity aggression, and highintensity aggression. The authors found that roosting groups were clearly defined; however, they showed little genetic differentiation or kin structuring. Juveniles, and especially females, were found to repeatedly move between roosts. For both within and between roosting groups, birds preferentially associated with kin; however, they also showed direct aggression towards kin when they shared roost membership. The authors’ findings suggest that sulphur-crested cockatoos prefer to associate with kin, both within and between roosting groups, as well as reveal evidence for the social complexity in parrots.","PeriodicalId":15102,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Avian Medicine and Surgery","volume":"36 1","pages":"434 - 436"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45562688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, lipoprotein analysis by standard laboratory analyzers or an indirect method, such as the Friedewald formula, has not been validated in parrots. A research colony of 12 Quaker parrots (Myiopsitta monachus) were used to compare plasma values from the Roche Cobas c501 biochemistry analyzer for total cholesterol, total triglycerides, LDL, and HDL to gel-permeation high-performance liquid chromatography (GP-HPLC). To increase sample size and broaden the analytical range to include dyslipidemic samples, 2 cross-over studies were performed on a 0.3% cholesterol diet and a 20% fat diet. Agreement between methods was assessed by linear mixed models and Bland and Altman plots. The LDL concentrations calculated by the Friedewald formula and alternative formulas, and the effects of triglycerides on the biases, were also evaluated. Forty-five plasma samples were used. The cholesterol diet induced a marked increase in cholesterol and all lipoproteins, whereas the fat diet did not lead to dyslipidemia. Direct and indirect LDL measurements obtained with the clinical analyzer were not in clinical agreement with GP-HPLC, whereas HDL had acceptable agreement for normotriglyceridemic samples. Hypertriglyceridemic plasma samples were found to interfere with lipoprotein measurements. This study found LDL measured by the Roche Cobas c501 biochemistry analyzer and indirect estimations cannot be recommended in the Quaker parrot, and non-HDL cholesterol should be used instead. Lipoprotein panels obtained from hypertriglyceridemic samples should be interpreted with care.","PeriodicalId":15102,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Avian Medicine and Surgery","volume":"36 4","pages":"345-355"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9265283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Physical examination revealed a fistula in the middle cervical esophagus surrounded by devitalized and necrotic tissue; feed material was found leaking from the site. Cervical radiography identified an esophageal stricture with anterior dilation due to the accumulation of feed. After receiving supportive care for 48 hours, the patient's overall status improved, allowing partial esophagectomy and resection of the affected tissues with end-to-end anastomosis. Postoperative management included fasting for 24 hours, followed by the administration of a liquid hand-rearing formula prepared with commercially available ostrich feed and administered via a feeding tube for 15 days. Proper healing of the surgical site was confirmed by esophagoscopy using a flexible endoscope 17 days after surgery. The ostrich was discharged after 27 days, with no complications recorded within the 180 days of the follow-up period. Partial cervical esophagectomy with end-to-end anastomosis along with pre- and postoperative management provided a successful outcome for the treatment of a fistulated esophageal stricture in a captive ostrich, resulting in full recovery without surgical complications.","PeriodicalId":15102,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Avian Medicine and Surgery","volume":"36 4","pages":"421-425"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9199047","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
