Three cases of oviductal impaction in budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus) caused by torsion and egg binding in the oviduct are described in this study. In two birds, egg bound diagnosis could be made by radiography, and manual transcloacal removal was performed under general anesthesia. Exploratory coeliotomy was performed in one bird with salpingitis and torsion. Clinical findings, diagnostic method, treatment, and results of three cases are presented. Reproductive tract diseases are common in avian practice, especially among female birds. We conducted a systematic review of the case report and case series on oviductal impaction in birds In three major databases, relevant articles published in 1980–2024 were identified. Most information on studies was recorded in India. Data from 27 patients presented as cases in 21 different studies were evaluated. This study performs a systematic review of the species of birds, methods, treatments, and prognoses described in the literature about oviductal impaction in birds and is intended to be reference material for students, researchers, and clinicians.
