Case report An 8‐year‐old female cockatiel ( Nymphicus hollandicus ) was presented with coelomic distension. Palpation revealed an irregular intracoelomic mass. An exploratory coeliotomy was performed and the mass successfully removed. Histopathology determined the mass to be a respiratory hamartoma. Conclusion The bird recovered uneventfully and 2 years later showed no evidence of recurrence.
