Abstract
Given the relatively short lifespan of most avian patients, the terminal bird is a daily presentation. This justifies spending time and effort to provide a good euthanasia service. The aim of this chapter is to help all readers have a better grasp of the complexities surrounding euthanasia, to be better prepared to assist clients and to care for themselves.
