After a long two years of college, I am finally done! for now atleast..
I studied Ornithology, Psittaculture, licensed avian husbandry, and I am a certified avian specialist.
Now I'm going to take another four years to become board certified.. then I will take a masters in Avian Biology. my ultimate goal is a doctorates in Avian Medicine.

:)
Now i'm starting a noninvasive minor injury treatment program out of my guest house.
I'll be providing 24/7 emergency care for shock, blood feathers, small injuries, and I will be providing heal-x treatment plans.
Also, feather clippings, nails, diet assessment, and cage assessments.
and of course, my clients will have to sign a treatment plan allowing me to take any bird to the vet if needed.

I also want an adoption center for rescued bird rehabilitation and of course my breeding area.
and I plan on having a bird boarding area for people on vacations etc. (we have a lot of slope workers here who work two weeks in a village and two off)

Tomorrow I'm buying a commercial fridge for avian foods, healx which will come in 20ml tester containers, bird treats, etc

I'm still working on a business name.. I'm thinking "Wings and Beaks: noninvasive treatment and care plans for Avian friends"

I also plan on providing discounts to anybody that goes to my seminars on how to handle a bird, bird no-nos, and myths. oh, and I'll be providing dna sex testing :)

There's already Wings & Beaks or Beaks & Wings, so it might help to get a little more creative? Feathers... Avian... Psittacine... Maybe use something about how parrots have zygodactyl feet?


Congrats on becoming a certified avian specialist! Sounds like you have a bunch of great ideas planned out! I hope you are able to fulfill your dreams in the areas you desire!

Congrats! And Thank You! I have tried to foster the idea of more Avian Specialists as long as I've been involved with schools, scouts, and 4-H. I have mentored 2 young girls who are now an Avian vet, & an Avian Research Behaviorist. Good for you. The field is wide open. Well done!
