The taxonomy of Psittaciformes Order classifies Families such as Loriidae (Lori parrots or False parrots), Cacaduidae (parrots with crest and nymphs) and Psittacidae (true parrots and parrots). The ever-increasing desire to obtain specimens with plumage and especially a spectacular chromatics has meant in many cases reproduction by repeated inbreds and very close kinship (even repetitive generations of mother-son or father-daughter matings), causing secondary changes in the metabolism and immune system of the obtained birds, characters that were transmitted to the next generations. The breeding conditions are not always correlated with the needs of these species, in many cases the knowledge about the eco-biology of captive-grown psittacins is rather poor, which leads to an increase in their sensitivity. In recent years, we are confronted in the clinic of these bird species with extremely diverse pathologies or metabolic changes that have never been described or even observed in wild parrots. Proper diagnosis using current imaging and cyto-histological methods allows for rapid therapeutic intervention and positive results. Among the pathological problems that are difficult to diagnose and treat are tumoral diseases, often confused with a series of diseases with extremely different etiologies. |
