Hi all,
My name is Laurie Hess, and I am a board-certified avian veterinarian in Westchester County, NY, where I own the Veterinary Center for Birds & Exotics (www.avianexoticsvet.com). I am a major bird lover (hence my job!) and a big fan of this site, as I think it provides excellent information to chicken owners on care, housing, feeding, etc. I am in the process of setting up a coop at my home and love the resources on this site. If your birds ever get sick and you need help, my animal hospital treats birds and other exotic pets exclusively (no dogs or cats) and sees backyard chickens every day. So please don't hesitate to call for help! Thank you all for caring so much about these great little birds!

How do we find an avian veterinarian in our area? I live in south-central Indiana so your office is a little too far to use your service lol. Is there a website you recommend to search for an avian vet? Indianapolis and Louisville is my area of travel. Thank you.
