Cloacal-vent prolapse in a bird is often fatal if left untreated. A 10-month-old female love bird was brought to teaching veterinary hospital, Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Bangladesh, due to an everted cloaca through the vent. This condition was treated successfully by washing, massage, and icing. Calcium was supplemented orally for five days and the bird was cured completely after seven days.
