Plate 43 See also Figure 8.26 Histology section of a wild bird
liver (New Zealand kokako [Callaeas cinereal]) 10× stained with
Perl’s Prussian Blue iron stain to illustrate the presence of excess
stored iron. Excess iron in the liver and spleen can occur as a result
of excessive uptake (usually genetic) or excessive breakdown of
blood cells as seen in haemolytic diseases and also in cases
of avian malaria where iron from infected and damaged cells is
recycled at high rate (Cork, 2000).

using the sampling kit: blood-saturated filter-paper strips, faeces, left metatarsus (or left hind leg), and a
piece of skin with hair from the rump. Photos: Matilde Tomaselli.
