Muscle and fat areas were measured using computed tomography imaging.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Significant between-group differences were observed in the width of the pectoral muscles and the muscle area of the left humerus, with a strong positive correlation with BCS. The fat areas in the caudal coelom region, pelvic region and axillary area showed a significant increase in birds with a BCS of 5, with a moderate correlation between fat deposit CT measurements and BCS.</p><p><strong>Limitations: </strong>Given the minimal differences in weight among animals with a BCS of 2-4, weight was a point of contention when categorising the animals into each score category.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The pectoral muscle was found to be the most reliable indicator for determining BCS in blue-fronted Amazon parrots.
