My Goal In Life

Is to become a Avian Vet Open My own Practice
And I want to rescue cockatoos maybe like 5 or 6
give them a forever home in till i cant care for them
any moreand also is to breed Blue throated macaws.
I know this may sound kinda weird to say in a post but
it has been in my mind for awhile so i thought I share it
with others.and if anyone is a avian vet out their can
you tell me what Kinda of services you provide for your costumers.
thanks all
Cody

Where are you planning to go to school? My brother is in pre-vet (going either domestic or equestrian, though) but works at a large clinic with an avian vet. She went to LSU in Baton Rouge. Apparently it's the number 2 vet school, but I'm not sure if that's for the specialities like equestrian, avian, or exotic. She's a general vet, will do surgeries on an injured bird, counsel on nutrition, test for diseases, treat infections, etc. . .the whole nine.

I suggest you get a job during the summer working for a vet. Vet schools require recommendations from vets before you can get in. And look into LSU. It's hard to get into, but anything worth doing is worth working for, right?

Good for you for having a goal and a plan!
