Description

Falcon medicine exists for centuries, but in the past 10-15 years tremendous progress and new development of diseases and treatment methods have been made. It has always been a challenge to treat these beautiful birds of prey and the challenge continues until now. Falcons, falconry and falcon medicine are important in Abu Dhabi and the United Arab Emirates which can be regarded as the cradle of modern falcon medicine in the 21st century. Having treated more than 30,000 falcons over the past years, the author feels that the time has come to share his outstanding experience with the veterinarians’ and falconers’ community for the sake of these incredible birds of prey – to enhance their living conditions and to improve medical falcon health care world-wide. Practical Handbook of Falcon Husbandry and Medicine is based on his experience of a large variety of different cases and is therefore very practical-oriented. It is intended to be a useful handbook for all interested people working with falcons such as veterinarians, veterinary students, falconers and raptor rehabilitation workers.

This book is the best of the best in falcon medicine. Many other avian books are very theoretical and it is difficult to use this knowledge in practice. But this book is different: It is so easy to use in daily life. Very practical oriented, it provides great tips and tricks that make life for falconers and vets much easier.

It’s a must for falconers, avian vets that deals with falcons and bird rehabilitators. The huge experience of the author that directs the biggest falcon hospital in the world is impressive. I really suggest this book
