Does anyone have biochemistry reference values for pionus parrots? or know who may have?:) In Poland, where I live, my vet cannot get any - I am trying to help her:)

Welcome to the group! I was able to find some links for parrots and for birds in general. There probably aren't any numbers for specific species (like pionus), but I would expect all the parrots to have fairly similar values.


Here's lots of information from Clinical Avian Medicine, which was published in 2005: http://avianmedicine.net/content/upload ... pendix.pdf

This link has detailed information on blood chemistry, and may or may not be more up to date. I haven't looked to see whether it's the same information: http://cpl.med.miami.edu/documents/avia ... ranges.pdf

It's the Avian Reference Intervals link at the Avian & Wildlife Laboratory at the University of Miami School of Medicine: http://cpl.med.miami.edu/avian-and-wild ... blications

There's a simpler list here at the University of Pennsylvania veterinary school: http://cal.vet.upenn.edu/projects/sscli ... itacrr.htm

That link is from an older book published in 1994 by the same author (Harrison). So if there are any differences between it and the newer book, I would go with the newer one.

This is the newest avian medical book that I know of: https://www.amazon.com/Current-Therapy- ... 1455746711

But the information in it is not available online for free.
