Beak Deformities in North Patagonian Birds

Abstract: ∙ Within the last decade, many individuals of several bird species with abnormal and strange beaks deformations have been reported from Alaska, United States, and from United Kingdom and Ireland. Different forms of beak deformities were observed, but the causes of these abnormalities are unknown. We report beak deformities in two species of birds in northwestern Patagonia, Argentina: Austral Thrush (Turdus falcklandii) and Patagonian Mockingbird (Mimus patagonicus). Between 2013 and 2016, we captured individua… Show more

“…Finding answers to the causes of beak deformities is not simple (Craves 1994), since these anomalies are related to several factors such as wear or trauma (Pomeroy 1962), nutritional deficiencies (Stevens et al 1984), viral, bacterial, fungal and/or parasitic infections (Gartrell et al 2003, Gorosito et al 2016, Zylberberg et al 2016. Generally, birds with these beak deformities die prematurely (Sogge & Paxton 2000) and this may contribute to the scarcity of information on this topic (Barreiro et al 2002).…”

“…There are still occasional reports of beak anomalies in wild birds (Pomeroy 1962, Craves 1994, Handel et al 2010, Gorosito et al 2016, Smith et al 2019, Souza et al 2016, Purificação 2019, Smith et al 2019, Moura et al 2020, Moura et al 2022, Moura et al 2023). Knowledge about these cases will grow as researchers around the world begin to realize the importance of publicizing them.…”

“…Las malformaciones en picos pueden deberse a distintos factores, que van desde deficiencias nutricionales, problemas genéticos, lesiones, hasta enfermedades y contaminación (Pomeroy 1962;Handel & van Hemert, 2015;Jones et al 2015). Dentro de las especies más afectadas se encuentran varios paseriformes, con notable frecuencia en la familia Turdidae (Oscar 2012;Gorosito et al 2016;Bianchini & Arenas 2018). De los no-paseriformes con malformaciones se encontraron las familias, Spheniscidae, Procellariidae, Sulidae, Haematopodidae, Recurvirostridae, Laridae, Columbidae, Psittacidae, Trochilidae, Alcedinidae y Picidae (Jackson 2004;Soldaat 2009;Oscar 2012;Bianchini & Arenas 2014;Jones et al 2015;Quiroga et al 2016;Bianchini & Arenas 2018;Quiroga & Lammertink 2018).…”
