Parrot lore of Puna & east side Big Island Hawaii

[dayna]

Just as a note Steven, my vet comes into town and stays at my house here in Juneau. He also visit TABC! lol You may have met him.

Anyway, once we move we plan on flying Scott Ford DVM out to the Big Island to visit once a year or once every other year and vet our birds. I don't know of any certified avian vets on the island (and I've looked) I know Scott used to work for Dr Spears and Dr Spears was flown to Maui to vet birds at a zoo there. Anyway, off topic. But I have asked him about Avian Maleria and he asked me to find out what specific species of Avian Maleria we have on the BI and I just shot him an email about Rat Lung Worm Disease and I'll post his thoughts. He works a lot with wildlife.
