4 Stars! ""...offers avian practitioners expanded print and electronic materials essential for success in caring for birds of nearly every species. The stated goal for this text is to provide a trusted reference of up-to-date material in avian medicine, and the book has more than met this goal.... [It's] well organized and excellently referenced,... the breakdown of the text into sections and subchapters on specific disease processes is easier to reference, especially for busy veterinarians that need to look something up between appointments. The table of contents and comprehensive index make it quite easy to access the information efficiently.... [It] focuses on treatment and prevention from multiple angles, giving veterinarians valuable information and tools to counter even the toughest clinical presentations in avian patients.... also boasts excellent online content including the ability to highlight, take notes, make note cards, or even have the text read aloud.... [a] much anticipated and is well worth the wait. It provides an excellent resource for avian practitioners and will become one of the definitive books for those veterinarians seeing avian patients.""
