Out of interest, do you have a good way of dealing with keds????!

Usually running round the room freaking out a little!!

Frontline spray as a treatment tho, for little birds spray some onto a swab and wipe over, for bigger birds a spray under each wing and one down the back. Make sure you use it in a well ventilated area

medications, first aid and anaesthesia

we see very few birds, but for the few that we do see I would love to know more about the above

Rather off topic, but my big sis has recently become the proud owner of a very funny, entertaining and lovely budgie! I have told her to research the most local avaian vet in case anything befalls him, but as usual with family and vet care she doesn't listen! I know if she came to our vets they would be reading from the BSAVA manual! lol!

1st aid and assisted feeding, crop feeding and the like maybe.

Also perhaps identification of different species - what they eat etc.

Assisted feeding, type of foods to use and possibly a little on feeding/care of neonates might be good - this seems to be where the bulk of our nurses find the problems.

Being a general first opinion practice with no vets who specialise in birds we see very little, but I am very keen and we see a large volume of wildlife.

This may not be what you were looking for but least it will be a bump for you if not!
