Wild birds rescued for various reasons are injured and admitted to a wild animal rescue center. With thecase of collision with cars, buildings and wires on a power pole, most wild birds are severely traumatized or getfractured, which need intensive veterinary treatment. In general, inhalation anesthesia to wild birds is the best choicefor the medical and surgical procedure, and intubation is recommended for the stable anesthesia. Although the certainsize of an endotracheal tube can be chosen depending on the size and morphology of the bird, there are a fewstandardized guidelines. Therefore, the optimal endotracheal size of the rescued 162 individual birds of 41 speciesfor four years from March 2014 to December 2017 was investigated and sorted empirically, suggesting possibly theappropriate endotracheal sizes for diverse avian species. It may provide practical information data for wildlifeveterinarians to select the size of an endotracheal tube according to the size of the domestic wild bird species, especiallyduring surgery in the emergency cases.
