It teaches the general clinician techniques commonly used to capture and restrain different groups of birds, the basis of clinical examination, the most commonly applied medical procedures, anesthesia, and the common clinical diagnosis procedures in avian medicine. Additionally, it addresses the most relevant medical conditions and infectious diseases affecting different species of birds as well as postmortem examination and sampling and submission of necropsy material.
