At our veterinary practice, For the Birds, our commitment has always been to the quality of life of the companion bird. The last two decades have seen amazing changes both in the quality of medicine and management for these great birds. As our focus has been to get this information to our clients, Dr. Fern Van Sant and Dr. Hilary Stern have written and published many articles.

Included here, for your reference, is a selection of articles. Feel free to use these for handouts or newsletters. We do ask that you appropriately credit the author and note the original publishing date and source.
