Avian veterinarian
An
avian veterinarian is a
veterinarian who has undertaken additional training that qualifies him or her to treat
birds. Birds are very different in
anatomy and
physiology to
dogs and
cats, and to specialize in their treatment, a veterinary student must seek out coursework and residencies that are beyond the scope of standard veterinary school.
Avian veterinarians are certified by groups such as The Asssociation of Avian Veterinarians.
