“…relative small brain size, foraging style that does not required extensive food handling) that were found to be linked to a lower likelihood to develop feather damaging behaviour and stereotypies when kept as companion animals 65 . Nevertheless, even if these seven species are perceived as more suitable companions, all of them, budgerigars 80,81,86,87 , cockatiels [88][89][90][91] , conures 67 , lovebirds 63,67 , pacific parrotlets (Forpus coelestis) 67 and monk parakeets 6 , can show signs of poor welfare when kept in inappropriate conditions. As the results regarding specific species' suitability as a companion animal were not processed in multiple rounds, further research should be performed to validate these findings, and evaluate in further detail whether and which biological characteristics would render a species more or less adaptable to the domestic environment.…”

Parrots can experience several welfare challenges when kept as companions. Despite their popularity no science-based guidelines are available to assess parrot welfare. The aim of this Delphi study was to evaluate welfare indicators that owners could use to monitor parrot welfare. One hundred and twenty-two potential welfare indicators (behaviours, body measurements, husbandry and management conditions) were sourced from a systematic literature review and by consulting an avian medicine specialist. They were presented to participants with expertise on parrots in two rounds of online survey. We identified 73 welfare indicators that could be used by owners to monitor the welfare of all/most parrot species. Abnormal behaviours and management conditions that allow parrots to express their natural behaviours were ranked among the most important indicators. Participants concurred with scientific evidence about the impact of diet, species susceptibility to develop behavioural problems, early life, and pre-acquirement experiences on parrot welfare. When inquired about the suitability of species as companions, participants indicated seven small-sized species as most suitable to keep as a companion parrot, while cockatoos, critically endangered, and highly trafficked species were evaluated as those that should not be kept as companions. These findings could be useful to monitor and improve parrot welfare.

The overall voyage mortality percentage (number of cattle dead/number of cattle loaded) was 0.17% for 13 million cattle exported. Average annual mortality rates (number of animals that died during loading, en route and at discharge divided by the animal-days at risk) were relatively high during . The authors discuss how the rapid growth of the export industry, changes to legislation and development of risk management and quality assurance systems in the livestock export supply chain may have influenced these trends. The study results also showed that mortality rates were higher for southern loading regions of Australia and for Middle East and north African discharge regions compared with south-east Europe and Asia, which may be related to variation in the type of cattle exported and seasonal climatic conditions.

Consequently, various cage substrates and household items have been discovered in the crop [1,7], proventriculus [2][3][4][5]8], ventriculus [4,6,8], and intestines [9] of pet and captive birds.…”

Although the use of incision-free endoscopy for foreign body (FB) removal in dogs and cats has been extensively documented, its application in birds remains limited. Thus, we present the endoscopic removal of gastrointestinal (GI) FBs from psittacine birds, employing different patient positioning and anesthesia methods. Two blue-and-yellow macaws (Ara ararauna) and a Triton cockatoo (Cacatua galerita triton) were examined. X-ray imaging revealed FBs situated in the proventriculus in each case. The FBs, all identified as feeding tubes, were safely removed using grasping forceps during the endoscopic procedure, and no severe complications occurred. Based on the outcomes of each operation, the most suitable patient position may be ventral recumbency rather than dorsal recumbency, with the use of a mask or endotracheal intubation, depending on the anticipated operation time. However, a larger number of cases would be necessary to confirm the optimal patient positioning and anesthesia method.
