An important assignment given to the Park’s veterinarian team is receiving the animals who arrive to live at the Park. These animals undergo an average quarantine period of 45 days with occasional variations as recommended for the species. Parque das Aves adopts different protocols depending on the group to which the species belongs. During this period, the animals remain isolated and several exams are carried out. This quarantine procedure is an important measure of biosafety because its aim is the early detection and control of diseases that may cause health risks from these and other animals that are at Parque das Aves. This is the time when biological samples are collected for laboratory exams designed to check the state of health of each individual. The exams routinely done on the animals in quarantine at Parque das Aves are as follows: a complete blood count, serum biochemistry, coproparasitological exam, culture of feces, test for ectoparasites and hemoparasites, and PCR tests (molecular biology). Other tests can be performed such as x-rays, endoscopies, and biopsies whenever necessary. Parque das Aves has two buildings used for receiving animals, the main quarantine building located 3.5 km from the Park, and other auxiliary one, detached from the visitor area, but within the premises of Parque das Aves. The support quarantine receives animals with greater need for veterinary care such as chicks and/or sick animals delivered by environmental agencies due to the proximity with the Veterinary Medicine Division, and the Main Quarantine Building receives all other animals coming to the Park. The two sites, one of 70 m² and the other of 140 m² used for quarantine are built of masonry in which there is a place for the attendants to put on sterile gowning who carry out the daily management of the animals with a unidirectional flow and a clinic for veterinary care exclusively for the animals kept there.
