Some interesting findings in wildlife birds important in forensic veterinary pathology

Over the period 2010 – 2019, a pathomorphological survey of the causes of death of various birds species was done at the Laboratory of Pathology, Croatian Veterinary Institute, Zagreb, Croatia. A total 6638 birds were examined. In 335 (5, 05%) wild bids, the primary cause of death was established. The present cases showed that the greatest threats to health and survival, and also the most common causes of sudden death or prolonged suffering with exitus in wild birds were: (un)intentional poisoning ; gunshot wounds ; drowning ; collision ; electrocution ; wounds sustained by another animal or man, and (sporadically) disease. In most cases processed so far, some points might be interesting from the forensic point of view.
