Note how the liver is shaped to perfectly fit neatly around the heart
Heart removed. Blood supply visible. It's interesting that the heart tissue is red as with other birds yet the Silke's other tissues are black.
Heart sac cut to reveal the tip of the heart
Heart cut open. Clotted blood in top.

(poor photo, sorry) Blood vessels from the heart can be seen feeding the wings. Heart to the right of my lowest finger
Heart at top of picture. Liver sits on top of it. This liver is pale and has yellow areas on it - that's not normal.
The dark section on the left is solid muscle. The ridges are hard and leathery in texture
