All assays were performed on an IDEXX Vet Test Analyzer, dry chemistry methods., 10 samples for each species. The obtained mean values were for glucose 325 mg/dL in crows, 539 mg/dL in magpies and 419 mg/dL in pigeons. Total proteins were 1.6 g/dL in crows, 4.3 g/dL in magpies and 3.9 g/dL in pigeons, and albumins 0.6 g/dL in crows, 1.6 g/dL in magpies and 1.8 g/dL in pigeons. AST activities mean values were 681 U/L in crows, 539 U/L in magpies and 392 U/L in pigeons. Calcium levels had close values, in all three species, 10.0, 10.9 and 9.4 mg/dL in crows, magpies and pigeons. Uric acid presented mean values of 10.7 mg/dL in crows, 16.2 mg/dL in magpies and 5.5 mg/dL in pigeons.
