An "avian veterinarian" is someone who is willing to treat birds; any veterinarian can call him/herself an avian veterinarian.

Diplomates of the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners, Certified in Avian Practice is one who has obtained certification from the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners (ABVP) as described below.
Certification is given by the ABVP and includes
1.Documentation of six years of significant avian practice experience
2.Or a formal residency plus scientific papers,
3.A rigorous series of examinations.
There are certainly quite a number of competent/excellent avian veterinarians in North America and elsewhere who are not yet certified. Many of these veterinarians belong to the Association of Avian Veterinarians. The Association of Avian Veterinarians, is approaching a membership of 3000 worldwide. While a veterinarian who is interested in birds may be a member of the AAV, AAV membership only infers that an individual paid annual dues.
