A five-month-old African grey parrot was presented with alopecia, yellowish diarrhea, depression, and paralysis in the veterinary medical center, Chungbuk National University. The patient died 3 h later after hospitalization. For the accurate diagnosis, necropsy was performed and fungi were detected in the air sac. PCR was done for the viral detection which caused the alopecia, and for the species identification of fungi. Final diagnosis was a multi infection with avian circoviruses that caused psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD), avian polyomavirus cause budgerigar fledgling disease (BFD), and Aspergillus fumigatus. This is the first report of a multi infection in South Korea.
