“…The information available regarding the ruddy ground dove includes ethno-ornithological studies (Bezerra et al 2011;De Souza and Melo 2007;Nobrega et al, 2011) and studies on illegal trade (De Oliveira Souza et al 2014), its biometry (Bugoni et al 2002), its morphology (Maruch et al 1995), and parasites (Pinto et al 2004;Valim et al 2004). Hematological information is widely recognized as important data (Prinzinger and Misovic 2010) that can help in the diagnosis of diseases and the evaluation of birds' health.…”

Free-living ruddy ground dove (Columbina talpacoti): a report on leukocyte and weight values

et al. 2016

The Columbina talpacoti species, a common type of bird in Brazil, is often the target of illegal trade or used as pets, which can lead to the threat of extinction as the number of individuals of the species decreases. As this is a rare species with unknown hematological parameters, this study aimed to describe the species' leukocyte values and biometrics (weight). Twenty-five birds were captured at a private farm located in Guarapari, Espírito Santo, in southeastern Brazil. The capture and sampling were conducted in October 2014. The birds' body mass was measured, and their blood was collected. A blood smear was made, and a differential leukocyte count was performed. The average body mass found for the species was 46.7 ± 4.7 g. For hematologic reference, we used a value of 43.3 ± 14.6 for lymphocytes, and 55.8 ± 14.5 and 0.56 ± 0.76 for heterophils and monocytes, respectively. Using the data collected in this study, the reference values were calculated.

ABSTRACT. The Columbina lalpacoli (Temminck, 1811) dove, a small bird of the order Columbiformes, is abundant throughout Brazil and interacts closely with city inhabitants. This study describes the morphological and histochemical aspects of the epididymal region and ductus deferens of this species, comparing them with those of other bird species studied. It is believed that a better understanding of the reproductive biology of Columbina talpacoli could help to solve the ecological and sanitalY problems involving these birds. KEY WORDS. Columbidae, Columbiformes, male genital, epididymis, efferent ductuli, ductus deferens Most of the reports available in the literature on the morphology ofthe male genital system of birds refer to the domestic fowl (BRADLEY 1950;LAKE 1957;MARVAN 1969;TINGARY 1971 ;KING 1979), the turkey (HESS et at. 1976; HESS & THURTON 1977), and the guinea fowl (AIRE et at. 1979), with emphasis on this system 's macroscopic anatomy and functional aspects.The morphological study of the reproductive system of Brazilian birds is relatively recent and reflects a growing concern with the potential health risks to which our population may be exposed due to its increasingly closer interaction with dove species such as the Coillmbina talpacoti Temminck, 1881, which are known to be the carriers of many diseases.This work was carried out in continuation of the studies conducted on Columbia livia Gmelin, 1879(MARUCH et at. 1995, 1996. Its purpose is to describe the histology and histochemistry of the male reproductive organs of Coillmbina talpacoti, as a contribution toward a better understanding of the morphological and functional aspects of the genital system ofthe male Columbiformes. Such information could also provide a basis for more ample discussions on the reproduction of differents species of Brazilian birds.
