This authoritative text provides an in-depth exploration of avian anatomy, physiology, behavior, and ecology, offering the foundational knowledge necessary for effective clinical practice and species management. Drawing from current research and clinical expertise, this handbook bridges the gap between basic ornithological science and practical veterinary application, making it an indispensable resource for anyone involved in avian health care. This meticulously organized volume covers the complete spectrum of bird biology, from evolutionary origins and taxonomic classification to complex physiological systems and behavioral adaptations. The text examines critical topics including avian respiratory and cardiovascular systems, unique skeletal and muscular adaptations for flight, reproductive biology, sensory capabilities, and thermoregulation. Special emphasis is placed on understanding species-specific variations across diverse avian orders, enabling practitioners to apply biological principles to clinical scenarios involving both companion birds and wildlife species. Whether you are diagnosing disease, performing surgery, managing nutrition, or advising on husbandry practices, a thorough understanding of normal avian biology is paramount. This handbook equips veterinary professionals with the scientific foundation needed to recognize pathological deviations, interpret diagnostic findings accurately, and provide evidence-based care. The integration of comparative anatomy, physiology, and natural history makes this text equally valuable for clinical practitioners, researchers, and conservationists working to preserve avian health and biodiversity. KEY FEATURES ------------ • Comprehensive coverage of avian anatomy including skeletal, muscular, integumentary, and organ systems with species-specific variations • Detailed examination of unique avian physiological processes including flight mechanics, metabolism, and respiratory efficiency • In-depth analysis of avian reproductive biology, breeding behavior, and developmental stages from egg to adult • Extensive discussion of sensory systems, navigation, communication, and behavioral ecology across different bird species • Taxonomic overview covering major avian orders with emphasis on species commonly encountered in veterinary practice • Integration of evolutionary biology and ecological adaptations relevant to clinical decision-making • Scientific foundation for understanding disease processes, nutritional requirements, and environmental needs in captive and wild birds TARGET AUDIENCE --------------- • Avian and exotic animal veterinarians seeking comprehensive biological reference material • Veterinary students building foundational knowledge in ornithology and avian medicine • Wildlife veterinarians and rehabilitators working with diverse bird species • Veterinary researchers and academics specializing in avian health and conservation • Zoo and aquarium veterinarians responsible for avian collection management INSTANT ACCESS -------------- Download immediately after purchase Compatible with all PDF readers Personal use license included PRICE: HK$580.00
