In today's world seems like they don't see it as necessity. Really is a shame.

I agree. My nearest avian vet is 1 1/2 hours away but we do have a vet school that is 1 hour away and they also have an avian vet. The vets in my area will not even touch a chicken and that's a shame. I wonder why vet schools don't include birds and waterfowl as part of their "lesson" so that these vets can know what to do with chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks and pea fowl.

I think that UC Davis does.
