The parrot’s ear -The ears of the birds are not easily identifiable due to the lack of an external flag. Many owners are surprised to learn that their parrot has ears.
In parrots, the orifice of the ear is covered with feathers of modified blankets. The clinician can update the ear canal by gently blowing on the side of the bird’s head. The ear is caudal and ventral to the lateral canthus of the eye.

Because of the small size of the ear canal, it is impossible to perform an otoscopic examination in the vast majority of parrots. Nevertheless, because of its anatomic proximity to the eye, the ear can be affected by any lesion in the latter. On examination, the duct must be clean, dry, and without any sign of apparent inflammation (mainly edema or erythema).
