The veterinary records of three species of free-living, endangered black cockatoos (Calyptorhynchus spp.; n = 565) admitted to the Perth Zoo Veterinary Hospital in Western Australia during a 10-yr period (2000-09) were analyzed to determine the effect of clinical presentation and treatment on survival to release. The most-common reason for admission was trauma (at least 76.7% of cases), and trauma was also the most-frequent finding on necropsy examination (80.1% of cases). Anemia and paralysis-paresis were significant factors determining the decreased likelihood of survival of cockatoos undergoing rehabilitation. Human activities, in particular vehicle strike, were significant causes of morbidity and mortality in free-living black cockatoo populations.
对西澳大利亚州珀斯动物园兽医医院在10年期间（2000年至2009年）收治的三种自由生活的濒危黑凤头鹦鹉（Calyptorhynchus属；n = 565）的兽医记录进行了分析，以确定临床表现和治疗对放归存活率的影响。入院的最常见原因是创伤（至少76.7%的病例），创伤也是尸检中最常见的发现（80.1%的病例）。贫血和麻痹 - 轻瘫是决定接受康复治疗的凤头鹦鹉存活可能性降低的重要因素。人类活动，特别是车辆撞击，是自由生活的黑凤头鹦鹉种群发病和死亡的重要原因。
