Abstract

Boids kept as exotic pets nowadays has increased in recent decades [1]. Its popularity has increased in Indonesia. Without proper husbandry, snakes have higher risk for infection, such as respiratory infection. Respiratory infections are common in captive snakes that could cause severe illness leading to death [2]. Many etiologies say respiratory infection in snakes, are mainly caused by bacteria. Microbiology test is one of the diagnostic method which could be performed to diagnose for a better treatment to identification the cause of the infection. API 20NE kit is a choice. Burkholderia cepacia is a bacterial infection which could occur in pythons. This case reports Burkholderia cepacia finding in a Python reticulatus that had respiratory infection.Burkholderia cepacia Infection in Python reticulatus

Abstract

Phenotypic sexing of birds is a common practice among the songbird-keeping community, yet it is based on non-reputable information. This study aims to determine the sex of canaries (Serinus canaria) based on the alignment of the eye with the beak line. A total of 26 samples, consisting of six samples of one-month-old canaries (three males and three females based on PCR examination), 20 samples of six-month-old canaries (ten proven breeding pairs) were used in this study. The birds' heads were photographed from the sides, and then the positions of the eyes were compared with the shadow alignment of the beak. The results provided that five young birds and ten adult birds have a beak line alignment under the eye, while ten adult birds and one young bird have a beak line alignment across the eye. The accuracy of sexing using this method was 100% for both female and male adult canaries. However, this result could not be applied to sample that are not yet sexually mature, as two young male birds were found to have beak alignment below the eye. It can be concluded that sexing adult canaries can be performed by observing the eye and beak line's alignment.
