Hand-Rearing Birds will provide the reader with a guide to the best methods of hand rearing all major species of birds. The book is broken into two sections. The first section covers standard hand raising methods and equipment, while the second provides individual chapters devoted to many major avian species. This book will be an invaluable reference for shelter veterinarians, zoo veterinarians, avian veterinarians, aviculturists, bird enthusiasts, and conservationists alike.

"Wildlife rehabilitators across the nation are probably aspleased as I am to see this book now available... there are tipsthat may be new even to those with a lot of experience in avianhand-rearing. The depth of detail for each species is completeenough that this book could serve as a sole reference text for arehabilitator. Any facility that sees and raises many types ofbirds needs to have this book. I strongly recommend this forrehabilitators and veterinarians who deal with many types of avianpatients." - Exotic DVM Magazine
