Birds are ideal subjects for holistic care. They are especially sensitive to emotional and physical stresses. Based on what we have learned from wild birds and studies completed in the last 10-20 years, this book will help you provide your bird with a longer, healthier life. Each beautifully illustrated chapter is written from two viewpoints, one from the leading holistic avian veterinarian and the other from a bird owner's viewpoint. Holistic care is defined and the value of this type of care in relation to conventional western medicine is discussed. Other interesting topics include the physical bird, the emotional bird, nutrition and special holistic therapies.
I have raised Gouldian Finches and own a Rose Breasted Cockatoo, Umbrella Cockatoo, Love Bird and Conure. This book has been indispensable for all of them. Whenever someone adopts my babies, I have recommended they get this book in order to maintain optimal health for the new family members. I have used the homeopathic, herbal and Bach flower remedies on the various birds and have had good results. My birds are healthier and happier due to the knowledge dispensed in this book.
