Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
The minimal care and attention required by pet birds has resulted in a great increase in their popularity. As a result, the advice Doane dispenses in this volume will apply to all pet birds as well as parrots. In addition to describing how to choose a competent avian veterinarian, Doane discusses the parrot's potential health problems with recommended treatments and/or surgery so that the owner may be an "informed partner" with the veterinarian in the care of the pet. He also covers coping with the loss of a bird. Because this book is easy for the layperson to read and is the most complete in the field, it should become very popular in general libraries and, with its extensive bibliography, will be useful in scientific libraries.
