“…Clinical treatment for injured avian wildlife is well explored within the literature [1][2][3], however, there is limited information regarding the long-term impacts that environmental stress has on the recovery of a patient. Environmental stressors are factors within the environment that cause stress to an individual [4].…”

Urbanisation exposes avian wildlife to an array of environmental stressors that result in clinical admission and hospitalisation. The aim of this pilot study was to conduct a retrospective analysis of clinical data and characterise this based on categories of stress experienced by avian wildlife patients. The results from this study indicated that impact injuries (n = 33, 25%) and vehicle-related injuries (n = 33, 25%) were the most common occurring preliminary stressors that resulted in the hospitalisation of avian wildlife. The most common outcome of avian patients that suffered from vehicle-related injuries was euthanasia (n = 15, 45%), as was avian patients that suffered from impact injuries (n = 16, 48%). Immobility (n = 105, 61%) and abnormal behaviour (n = 24, 14%) were the most commonly occurring primary stressors of avian patients. Finally, trauma (n = 51, 32%) and fractures (n = 44, 27%) were the most common occurring secondary stressors in avian patients. The most common outcome of all these stressors was euthanasia. This study provided further evidence towards the notion that human- and urbanisation-related stressors are the main causes of hospitalisation of avian wildlife, but also indicated that birds admitted as a result of human-related stressors are more likely to be euthanised than released. This study also provided a categorisation system for the stressors identified in avian wildlife patients (preliminary, primary and secondary) that may be used to monitor the stress categories of wildlife patients and gain a deeper understanding of the complex notion of stress.

“…Trichomoniasis has been reported in many species of fancy birds, including Passeriformes Columbiformes, Galliformes, Psittaciformes, and Falconiformes (Nemeth et al 2016). Trichomonas gallinae (those prey birds which are affected with trichomoniasis named as "frounce" and in Columbiformes called as "canker") is occasionally seen in pet birds, and more notably in budgerigars (Brandão and Beaufrère 2013). Clinical signs of Trichomoniasis may include dysphagia, anorexia, dyspnea, and weight loss.…”

“…The excessive treatment of birds by the canary breeders with antifungal and anti-protozoal drugs might have cleared or prevented the concurrent infection with fungi or protozoa. Ronidazol that was used in the treatment of sick birds is known for its high efficiency against a wide range of protozoans including Trichomonas (Brandao and Beaufrère 2013), and itraconazol is highly efficient against a wide range of fungal diseases (Proença et al 2014).…”

A canarypox outbreak resulted in the death of about 50% of canaries (Serinus canaria domesticus) in several breeding farms in Lebanon. Infected birds showed thickened eye lid and skin scab-like lesions at the beak, foot and caudal regions and died 5-6 days post disease symptoms onset. Out of seven sick birds that were autopsied for gross pathology evaluation, one bird demonstrated turbid airsacs with absence of any lesions in the trachea, oesophagus, liver and lung. Histopathological examination showed hyperplasia, heterophils infiltration and Bollinger body formation in the skin of five out of the seven autopsied canaries. Hyperplasia and infiltration of heterophils were also observed in the airsacs of one bird. PCR analysis of specimens taken from the skin and feet, targeting the fpv167 gene of the canarypox virus, was positive for all of the analyzed canaries. PCR analysis also revealed that two birds had concurrent infection with Mycoplasma gallisepticum. Sequencing and alignment of the amplified fpv167 gene of the canarypox showed 100% similarity with the Iranian canary pox isolate IR/H913/14. Smuggling of pet birds through the borders should be strictly controlled and biosecurity measures must be adequately applied to control the circulation of the two identified pathogens.
