Goiter in a cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus).
Goiter in a 2-year-old male cockatiel with respiratory distress was characterized by bilateral enlargement of the thyroid glands. Microscopic lesions included features of both hyperplastic goiter and colloid goiter. There also was localized hemosiderosis due to hemorrhage in subcapsular space and in thyroid follicle lumens.
