The present study describes acute Aspergillosis in a five years old female African grey parrot kept in captivity in Meo Aviary, Meerut. The birds in the aviary were housed in uplifted cage system and vaccinated against endemic diseases. The affected bird exhibited the symptoms of depression, anorexia, dyspnea and open beak breathing and died within 48 hours of showing clinical signs. At necropsy, whitish nodules were observed on the trachea, lungs and air sacs. The affected organs were collected for cultural isolation of the possible organism. Aviary visit indicated dusty environment. Aspergillus flavus and Streptococcus spp. were isolated from the samples collected at necropsy. Damp and dusty environment and moldy feeds must be avoided and adequate ventilation should always be provided in aviary to prevent aspergillosis.
