The editors of BirdChannel.com are excited to announce the launch of our new interactive Medical Conditions aspect on BirdChannel.com

Here is the link to MEDICAL CONDITIONS

You can also access Medical Conditions through the flashing button in the top right hand corner of BirdChannel.com and on the Bird Diet and Health page under the Bird Medical Conditions tab.

The interactive Medical Conditions aspect lists signs that bird owners might see their birds experiencing as well as a break down of bird body parts and bird body system functions; including respiratory, digestion and reproduction. From those options you can then link to a list of ailments that are associated with those signs and help you get an idea of what illness your bird is ailing from. The conditions range from avian flu and PDD to bleeding cuts and toxic plants and heavy metals.

Of course the best way to diagnose your bird is to bring it in to an avian vet. But the Medical Conditions do give you some tips on what you can do NOW to stop the bleeding or what information and samples you should prepare to bring with you to the avian vet.

We hope that you find it helpful.
