Avian Reproduction: Common Problems and How to Solve Them

Reproductive disease is one of the most common presentations to the avian practitioner. The consequences of captivity leading to malnutrition, inappropriate husbandry, and the social dynamics of the human-parrot bond can all increase the incidence of many reproductive issues on both a medical, psychological, and behavioral standpoint. This session will focus on and behaviorally induced reproductive issues, cloacal and oviductal prolapses, when egg laying goes wrong, infections of the reproductive tract, and their management strategies.
