About The Webinar
Although feather-picking is the commonest dermatological complaint seen in caged psittacine birds, there are many other causes of avian skin and feather disease encountered in practice. An understanding of the structure and function of avian skin and feathers and of these diseases is necessary to make a logical diagnostic approach and rule-outs in any bird presented with skin or feather lesions, and it should be appreciated that some diseases may or may not also be associated with feather picking. This webinar will discuss the most important avian skin and feather conditions of psittacine birds and their management. Behavioural and medical causes of feather picking will not be covered.
