CAGE'N BIRD

Links to Avian Pediatric Articles by Other Authors:

A collection of articles & FAQs pertaining to all aspects of Avian pediatrics. These articles are gathered for you from across the NET. We're constantly adding new articles, so check back periodically.

We hope to include more informative articles as we find them on the web. Read them and bear in mind successful hand-feeders do follow basic aviary and nursery management practices but each has his own opinion on how a bird should be hand-fed  and on how to go about solving hand-feeding problems.  What works for one expert may be totally different from what is recommended by another. 

 It is important to become familiar with different techniques, methods and practices in order to form an opinion of what works best for you. Only through experience and knowledge will you become successful in your hand-feeding endeavor.  

Remember: Each bird is an individual; what works on one bird may not work on another; each situation is unique; opinions differ as to treatment and/or method and technique.---Wanda Barras
