Two African grey parrots ( Psittacus erithacus) and one hyacinth macaw ( Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus) were examined because of varying clinical signs ranging from general lethargy to seizure-like episodes and regurgitation. Radiography and fluoroscopy in the 3 birds demonstrated variable degrees of gastric abnormalities, suggesting the presence of foreign material or stricture-like defects. Upper gastrointestinal rigid endoscopy by ingluviotomy revealed foreign bodies that were removed endoscopically. Minor postoperative complications were pulmonary congestion or mild aspiration and cardiac arrhythmia, both of which resolved, and no serious deleterious effects were associated with endoscopy in the short or long term. Endoscopy is recommended for examination and removal of foreign bodies from the upper gastrointestinal tract because it is less invasive and traumatic than traditional surgical approaches.
对两只非洲灰鹦鹉（Psittacus erithacus）和一只蓝紫金刚鹦鹉（Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus）进行了检查，原因是它们出现了从全身倦怠到癫痫样发作和反流等不同的临床症状。这3只鸟的放射成像和荧光透视显示出不同程度的胃部异常，提示存在异物或类似狭窄的缺损。通过嗉囊切开术进行上消化道硬质内镜检查发现了异物，并通过内镜将其取出。术后轻微并发症为肺充血或轻度误吸以及心律失常，两者均已缓解，且内镜检查在短期或长期内均未产生严重有害影响。建议采用内镜检查来检查和清除上消化道异物，因为它比传统手术方法的侵入性和创伤性更小。
