ABSTRACT
Advances in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases, malnutrition, and other non-infectious diseases of birds have meant longer and healthier lives for companion birds. With this rise in longevity comes a rise in degenerative diseases including neoplasia. The incidence of neoplasia in bird is unclear; while uncommon it is considered that neoplastic diseases account for between 2–6% of cases presented to diagnostic laboratories.
