Avian medicine is still at its infancy. Depending on the your location, your avian veterinarians may, or may not, still be inexperienced and learning. Unfortunately, the curriculum of most veterinary schools concentrates primarily on horses, cattle, dogs, and cats. Avian medicine is, most often, learned in practice on live patients, our pets and breeders. If we can educate ourselves, we can help our avian veterinarians by suggesting a possible diagnosis and solution. This is not to suggest that we should take it upon ourselves to take avian medicine into our own hands. We need to work with our vets so that we can all learn to care for, and save the lives of, the parrots that we all love so dearly.
