You know, I didn't even think of the work they've done with scopes inside veins and arteries. DUH! It only makes sense that one small enough to pass the trachea of a burm (especially these big ones) exists.
The only ones I've been around were used on horses and are quite large. Anyhow, I wonder if any of the vets/universities/zoos that have studied RIs in boids have scoped their lungs...I'm sure it's a procedure you'd have to do under anethesia, and if, so how were they able to scope and intubate, considering the extremly narrow opening of the trachea? I'm intrigued....
