Abstract

A black-masked blue lovebird (Agapornis personata) was presented because of lethargy and poor feathering. Examination revealed multiple firm swellings of the wings and sternum. Because of the bird's general condition and the number and size of the bony lesions, successful treatment was unlikely, and the bird was euthanatized. Result of histopathologic examination revealed the masses to be multiple exostoses.
