Pigeon cholera is an acute septic infectious disease caused by Pasteurella multocida, also known as pigeon pasteurellosis or pigeon hemorrhagic septicemia. The most acute cases of pigeon cholera died suddenly without any clinical symptoms. The acute cases showed depression, dyspnea, elevated body temperature, loss of appetite, loose and dull feathers, foamy mucus in the nose and mouth, diarrhea, copper-green or yellowish brown faeces, and feathers around the cloacal cavity were glued together by faeces; the sick pigeons lost weight quickly and could not stand up and died soon.
