these have to be done on a bird just about to die.had a problem 15,years ago stock birds dying unexplained sent sick bird to MAFF.

vet problem was wait for this mouthful  STREPTI,COUCUS .BOVIS common in sparrows and starlings whitch pick about farmyards

had a avairy with wire mesh roof then and slabbed floor never had one since.prescribed auramicin done the trick

ive had this happen in the past , not often tho.

usually been in stock never flown out , was told it was ruptered spleen

another case was a yearling at saintes 520 mile hard race , dead day after she,d homed ,

its just nature i think , happens to perfectly healthy humans as well

in this case tho the bird could have hit somthing on route and done internal damage
