  • A 6-month-old orange winged Amazon parrot (Amazona amazonica) was presented for evaluation of weight loss, anorexia, and abdominal distension for two months. Clinical and laboratory examinations revealed evidence of hepatic failure, including transudative ascites, increased serum serum aspartate aminotransferase and bile acids, and decreased albumin-to-globulin ratio. Hepatic fibrosis with bile duct hyperplasia and chronic hepatitis was diagnosed by liver biopsy. The cause of this condition remained unclear, but exposure to hepatotoxins was suggested.

  • A thirty-month-old male Moluccan Cockatoo (Cacatua moluccansis) with mild anorexia was referred. Through physical examination, fireign body was palpated at the crop region. Radiopaque, lineal foreign body was visualized on the lateral radiographs of the thoracic esophageal region. The patient was definitively diagnosed esophageal foreign body which is ingested feeding tube. The foreign body removal was undertaken using a flexible endoscope and a grasping forcep without any other complications. This case report demonstrated that successful esophageal foreign body removal with endoscopy in birds.

  • A six-year-old, intact female Indian ring-necked parakeet (Psittacula krameri manillensis) was presented due to chronic weight loss and anorexia. The bird was tentatively diagnosed as proventricular dilation disease (PDD) by radiographic evidences of dilated crop and proventriculus. The patient was symptomatically treated, however the bird was die two months after the first presentation. At necropsy finding, distinctive signs of PDD were noted, and PDD concurrent with ingluvitis was finally diagnosed according to histopatholgic examination.

  • A 1-year-old Goffin cockatoo (Cacatua goffini) presented a soft non-painful and balloon-like mass around the cervical area. Subcutaneous emphysema due to cervicocephalic air sac trauma was diagnosed based on history and physical examination, and was confirmed by radiographic examination. Because the cutaneous tab was unsuccessful, a modified syringe stent was carried out. The bird showed no adverse signs for two weeks after implantation. After surgical removal of the stent, the bird did not reveal subcutaneous emphysema.

  • Damyang riverine wetland was designated as a wetland protected area in 2004; that is located in the Yeongsan river mainstream. Total 30 phytosociological releves at field studies were classified with 22 vegetation types including of 101 species (unidentified 1 species). Legends of actual vegetation map were separated by 6 types; riparian forest, substitute vegetation, synanthropic vegetation, wet meadow vegetation, open water, an area of wetland vegetation is about 35 % ($386,841.86m^2$). Results of this study area as follows. The plant society of Damyang riverine wetland was conjectured that it was formed by rapidly water environment change with installed weir on the upstream of protected area and operating of Damyang dam on top of the basin. Until recently, the terrace land on the river was used to cultivate, but that would be formed fallow vegetation scenery on riverfront caused by no cultivation after designated protected area. Paspalum distichum var. indutum community designated as invasive alien plant by Korea Ministry of Environment was widely developed and Myriophyllum spicatumunrecorded in the country as newly alien species was discovered in the study zone. The plants as lapped over developing environment for Leersia japonica must be occupied habitat of native plant species having similar niche. The various plant society in Damyang riverine wetland should be developed because of environmental changes, disturbances and damages of stream.

  • A eight-month-old blue and yellow macaw (Ara ararauna) with psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD)-suspected signs, such as, abnormal feather, depression and diarrhea, was presented to Animal Disease Intervention Center, Kyungpook National University in 16 April 2014. The partial ORF V1 gene of PBFD virus (PBFDV) was detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from DNA templates extracted from feather, blood and cloacal swab sample of the bird, but no other viral DNAs that often infected in psittacine birds including avian bornavirus and avian polyomavirus were detected from the samples of the bird, indicating this case is due to single infection of PBFDV. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the amplified partial ORF V1 gene was confirmed to have 96.7% and 93.6% homology with that of previously reported PBFDV strain (Genbank no. HM748924 and FJ685980). This report describes the first detection of PBFDV in PBFD-suspected blue and yellow macaw in Korea.
