The ailments that can occur in pet birds include infectious diseases as well as accident-related health issues. These are injuries of all kinds, ranging from lacerations and strains to broken bones or a cracked beak. Traumas thus may affect the birds’ skin, their beak or claws, or other tissues such as muscles, but also tendons and ultimately the bones or even their brain. In most cases, accidents such as collisions or fights between two birds result in trauma.
In the chapters listed below, I describe the most common injuries and diseases that occur in pet birds due to accidents. You will learn in the respective chapters which symptoms are characteristic for the individual injuries, which treatment options there are, and, if applicable, also how you can support the healing of your feathered patient.
