Find an Avian Vet you can trust
Please do not consider that because I list these vets on this site that I endorse them! You need to get references from any vet you decide to use. This list is small, because I just started it on April 28, 2008 and it is totally populated by our visitors. There are two other places you can look for a vet without having a recommendation from one of our visitors: * FIND AN AVIAN VETERINARIAN * Association of Avian Veterinarians * FIND A DIPLOMATE * The American Board of Veterinary Practitioners
