The Psittaciformes family of birds has more than 300 species of brightly colored, noisy, tropical birds, to which the general name "parrot" is applied (2). Shedding (either per cloaca or per os) was observed in representatives of 8 of the 10 orders, with the exceptions of Psittaciformes (n=6 individual birds) and Piciformes species (n=1). |
