Birds are ideal subjects
for holistic care. They are especially sensitive
to emotional and physical stresses. Based on what
we have learned from wild birds and studies completed
in the last 10-20 years, this book will help you
provide your bird with a longer, healthier life.
Each beautifully illustrated chapter is written
from two viewpoints, one from the leading holistic
avian veterinarian and the other from a bird owner's
viewpoint. Holistic care is defined and the value
of this type of care in relation to conventional
western medicine is discussed. Other interesting
topics include the physical bird, the emotional
bird, nutrition and special holistic therapies.
 This
well-illustrated, comprehensive book summarizes
what is known about the history, biology, and
management of the California Quail. The California
Quail is the definitive work on this beautiful
bird.
