This lavishly illustrated text covers a range of topics from blood collection and handling, hematological characteristics of birds, pathological and physiological influences on avian hematology to a brief but useful foray into the world of avian hemoparasites. Ambitious in its scope (covering over 100 species of birds from diverse Orders), it succeeds in defining many of the particular hematological characteristics of diverse bird lineages and yet still remains a concise and practical reference for use by avian clinical pathologists as well as avian clinicians in private, zoo and wildlife focused settings. Furthermore, biologists and ecologists investigating the health of free-ranging birds will find this book particularly useful. Its strength lies in its clear descriptive text, accompanied by a wealth of full-color photomicrographs.

A thorough but concise review of the avian hematologic system. The numerous glossy color photographs illustrate descriptions in the text well, and the index is easy to follow…The book’s comprehensive review of all aspects of avian hematology, along with its dozens of clinically relevant, illustrative color photographs, makes it a terrific addition to any avian practitioner’s library.
