A six-year-old canary was referred for recurring multiple feather cysts involving the mantle cover feathers
and, undertail cover feathers. On physical examination, there were no other clinical complaints. Surgical
removal of the feather cyst was successful using a surgical radio cautery. The cyst has not recurred on
surgical site or on adjacent feathers during the two years following surgery, but new cysts have formed on
wing feathers. Cysts frequently recur after lancing, curettage, or fulguration. Previously published reports
suggest that complete feather follicle removal. This report provides a description of the removal of feather
cyst with radio cautery and long term outcomes.
