Pressy, an african grey, arrived at the centre in September 1995 in very poor condition. He was suffering from malnutrition: hypovitaminosis A: a calcium overall nutritional deficiency which resulted in a very weak immune system. Muscle weakness, vomiting, diarrhoea, excessive thirst, laboured breathing and occasional haemorrhage were clinical symptoms of an underlying disease. Through appropriate tests he was diagnosed as suffering from papillomatosis.Three separate operations were performed to remove the papillomas. Pressy is now in much better health and enjoying life in his sub-tropical aviary with Simba, his African grey companion. Click on image to enlarge.
