My Favorite

This is the first reference I reach for. I'm on my second one because the binder released its pages. It has the most practical and quickest to find advice of all my texts!

The most handy reference on the subject

This is by far the most useful text of its kind. While it is not as comprehensive as Harrison's book on avian medicine, nor as thorough as Altman's, this book is a better deal in terms of accesing practical information and cost. The book's organization puts both Altman's and Harrison's to shame. For the listed price, this little manual packs a lot of useful information.The book is the required text for an Avian Medicine and Surgery Class taught to Cornell University 3rd and 4th year veterinary students.
