Abstract
Hepatic hyaline globules, similar to those reported in some human livers, w ere observed in liver tissue from an Eclectus parrot (Eclectus roratus). Th e cytoplasmic inclusions were periodic acid-Schiff positive and diastase re sistant and failed to stain by acid-fast or Congo red techniques. Ultrastru cturally, the hepatic globules were composed of granular amorphous material with small peripheral striations that extended into the cytoplasm.
