Abstract
The small animal clinician looking to expand their remit to include avian medicine requires a large amount of extra knowledge before they are able to provide the same level of primary care that they provide for dogs and cats. This chapter details the practice, personnel, training and CPD, referrals and economic considerations required to become a bird friendly practice.

Weighing a bird in the consulting room. Use of a small rubber mat placed over the scales would provide a non-slip surface making it easier for the bird. Less tractable birds will need to be weighed in a container, using the tare function on the scales. © 2018 British Small Animal Veterinary Association
