| Abstract: | The purpose of the study was to provide a reference for the normal radiographic anatomy of the cockatiel ( Nymphicus hollundis ). The head, body, wing, and pelvic limb of mature males were radiographed using xeroradiographic and conventional radiographic techniques. Ten xeroradiographs and ten corresponding conventional radiographs were selected, and the xeroradiographs appropriately labeled to illustrate the normal radiographic anatomy of these regions. |
