Avian Anatomy Acetate Overlays by Dr. Branson Ritchie, Dr. Greg Harrison & Linda Harrison - Bound with the original edition of Avian Medicine: Principles and Application, this 8-page supplement is an artist's concept of the lateral and ventrodorsal views of the anatomy of a cockatoo presented in a clear overlay system. When two or more pages are viewed together, the drawings represent the relative position and relationship of important anatomic structures. This format is particularly useful as a reference to general anatomic sites during radiographic, endoscopic, or necropsy evaluation of companion birds. Addtionally, the format provides an easy-to-visualize method for veterinarians to use when discussing a patient's problem and management techniques with a client.

Manual of Parrot Behavior by Andrew Luescher - Psittacines are maintained in captivity as pets, in the home, as breeding birds in aviculture, in zoos, and in conservation projects. Because of their intelligence, playfulness, and ability in mimicry, psittacines are the most widely kept companion birds. In the wild, these birds are normally social, living with others. In captivity most are kept in a cage without other birds. The advantage of caging psittacines is that they are more likely to become tame and develop their powers of mimicry. The disadvantage, however, is that in this environment, psittacines develop behavior problems that can take many forms, including biting, screeching, and self-mutilation. It is estimated that more than half of the cases presented to clinicians in companion psittacine practice are the result of behavioral problems — problems inherent to the caged psittacine. Bringing together a host of international experts on avian behavior, Andrew Leuscher explores the many facets of psittacine behavior — both normal and abnormal — and offers useful techniques of diagnosis and treatment for clinicians who see birds in practice. Species covered include Macaws, Amazon Parrots, African Grey Parrots, Cockatiels, Budgerigars, and Cockatoos. This authoritative reference — the first of its kind — is a necessary addition to the library of any practitioner who sees avian companion animals.
