http://www.budgiehealth.com is a fantastic budgie site!

Hi!

Welcome to my website BudgieHealth.com. I became interested in Budgie Health when very young. My first pets were budgies and I bred Budgerigars and other birds for a time.

I, Dr Ross Perry graduated as a vet BVSc(Hons) from University of Sydney in 1972 and was registered as Australia’s first Bird Specialist  by examination in Caged and Aviary Bird Health in 1993 with FACVSc(Avian Health). I have written many articles and book chapters, as well as “Vade Mecum 2 Diseases of Birds” and “Caring for Birds with Love and Gratitude”. I served as Dial-A-Vet for 3.5 years on Sydney radio 2GB, and was featured many times on Animal Hospital, a television production by Channel 10.   Budgie health issues are the most common that I treat and give advice about as a Bird Vet and Bird Specialist. My clinic is in Cromer, Sydney, Australia and I can be contacted via http://www.DrRossPerry.com.au.

I have almost completed writing and illustrating a major textbook “Budgie Healthfor vets and others around the world wanting to learn about caring for and treating budgerigars.

Budgie Health” includes lots of important advice about choosing and buying pet budgerigars, budgie diets, budgie cages, quarantine, budgie toys, budgie health hazards, poisonous plants and perches, moulting, wing clipping, taming budgies, calming budgies, handling budgies, holding budgies, restraining budgies, teaching budgies to talk, introductions and match making, breeding budgies, hand-raising budgies, sick budgerigars, diarrhoea, respiratory diseases, infectious diseases, PBFD Psittacine Beak Feather Disease, Budgie Polyomavirus, Psittacosis and Avian Chlamydophilosis (Chlamydia), bacterial infections in budgies such as coliform infections, Budgerigar fungal infections including Megabacteria Associated Disease, yeast infections and thrush, protozoal infections such as Canker and Trichomoniasis, Coccidiosis, Worms, Mites including Scaly Face, and Lice.

Budgie Health” also details other diseases such as Cancer, Heavy Metal Poisoning, leg paralysis, sore eyes, feather plucking and feather loss as well as injuries such as broken wings and broken legs. It shows you how to treat budgies, and how to crop feed them, how to give medicines by mouth and injection, dose rates for medicines, drugs, and dietary supplements and much more. Aspects of the above will be included in this website and there will be links to help you access much more detailed information.

I am very interested in an integrated or holistic approach to health and wellness as it applies to budgerigar health, other birds and animals, and their custodians.
