		Veterinarians who raise and breed birds are examples of colleagues who are pursuing this train of thought.
		The responsibility for avian veterinarians to enter this field with proper orientation beyond the individual bird and to document their individual management programs as they evolve is immense.

		Veterinarians who know a lot about birds obviously are better able to treat their medical problems.

		If all the avian vets had to do was a physical exam on the patient and a test or two, then the length of their office visits would be much more reasonable.

	Avian Anatomy
		As an avian veterinarian, I often use words like choana and cloaca, and when I do, I can easily visualize in my mind exactly what these body parts look like, and it's hard for me to realize that often, the owner doesn't understand what I'm saying.
		The neck is considered one of the strongest parts of a bird's body, and it is almost impossible to injure a bird by holding it by the neck (as long as the windpipe is not closed off), let alone break its neck, when it is properly restrained.
		Another adaptation with avian skin is the brood patch, an area over the breast that becomes thickened, very vascular and the feathers are lost during the brooding period.

		Therefore, veterinarians frequently rely on commercial diagnostic laboratories for evaluation of hematological parameters of their companion bird patients, instead of making their own assessment.
		Consequently, avian medicine relies upon the manual identification of leukocytes by practitioners, laboratory technicians, and board certified pathologists with varying degrees of skill and experience.
		In summary, avian hematology can easily be incorporated into the routine testing done by practitioners at their clinic.
