Se informa un caso de picaje en un espécimen de guacamaya roja (Ara macao), sin sexar, que ingresó al Hogar de Paso para Fauna Silvestre de la Universidad de la Amazonia el 24 de agosto de 2018. Al examen clínico se evidenció mal aspecto de plumas, con presencia de bandas de estrés en la región occipital, temporal, quilla, timoneras y remeras. Los resultados de hemograma, química sanguínea, coprológico y raspado de piel descartaron la presencia de bacterias, además de parásitos internos y externos como etiología. Luego del diagnóstico de picaje por estrés se instauró tratamiento holontológico compuesto por aromaterapia, homeopatía, baños terapéuticos, balanceo nutricional y enriquecimiento ambiental, por un periodo de siete semanas. Como resultado se evidenció una notable| mejoría, tanto del aspecto del plumaje como de la conducta de arrancamiento de las plumas.

Abstract Birds of prey and from Psittacidae family are host to fungal microbiota and play an important role in the epidemiology of zoonoses. Few studies in the literature have characterized mycelial and yeast fungi in the droppings of these birds and correlated the isolates with the zoonotic potential of the microorganisms. Droppings from 149 birds were evaluated and divided into two groups: captive: Rhea americana araneipes, Primolius maracana, Ara ararauna, Ara chloropterus, Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus, Amazona aestiva, Ara macao macao, Ramphastos toco, Sarcoramphus papa, Busarellus nigricollis, Bubo virginianus nacurutu, Buteogallus coronatus, Buteogallus urubitinga urubitinga, Spizaetus melanoleucus, Spizaetus ornatus ornatus, Buteo albonotatus, Geranoaetus albicaudatus albicaudatus, Rupornis magnirostris magnirostris and Harpia harpyja, and quarantined birds: Amazona aestiva and Eupsitulla aurea. The fungal isolates were identified according to macroscopic (gross colony appearance), micromorphological and biochemical characteristics. Among birds displayed in enclosures, Aspergillus niger (41.1%) and Candida kefyr (63.8%) were the fungi most frequently isolated in Harpia harpyja and Ramphastos toco, respectively. For quarantined birds, the following percentages were observed in Eupsittula aurea , (76.6%) C. krusei, (84.4%) C. kefyr and (15.2%) C. famata, while in Amazona aestiva, (76.2%) C. krusei was observed. These findings indicate potentially pathogenic species in the bird droppings assessed, which constitute a risk of exposure for keepers and individuals who visit the zoo. Birds of the Cerrado and Pantanal of Mato Grosso (Central Western region of Brazil) could act in the epidemiological chain of important zoonoses.
