heart
Clinical description: 
The heart muscle should be reddish-brown in color. A variable amount of fat will be present in the coronary grooves. If the bird is emaciated, this fat may be absent or have undergone serous atrophy, resulting in a gelatinous, wet appearance. Look for any external lesions on the epicardial surface of the heart or on the surrounding fat.
