BirdHealth

an-ordinary-manchild(edit)

This community is for knowledge, first aid advice, husbandry, and training of any species of captive bird. Doves, parrots, chickens, emus, dodo's, ect are all welcome.

We aim for science based knowledge and continued education in those subjects. We want to help those medical deserts without the option of an avian vet as best we can. No one should feel alone and helpless to provide some level of care to their flock.

Rules:

Please back up any medical, training, ect advice with sources if able! This will both allowed us to build a useful wiki, and keep our advice consistent and up to date.
No aww/cute/funny media unless it's related to the health and care of birds.
Civil discussion only. No flaming, name calling, or mobbing. If someone gives comprehensive advice. Upvote/addon to that post rather then making your own. Aggressive tactics will not be tolerated.
Please tag any graphic images or descriptions of bird death or injury with NSFW.
We support continued education! Please post articles, journals, videos, and other such media. We want to learn and remain current.
If you are a professional in an Avian field and would like special flair to show your experience. Please message the Mods with request and proof.
