  abstract: "Hand-Rearing Skills are a necessity for animal care professionals ranging from veterinarians to animal rehabilitation specialists and shelter veterinarians and staff. Hand-Rearing Birds provides a detailed guide to hand-rearing techniques for many common avian species. The book is broken into two sections. The opening chapters cover general care for unidentified birds, a guide to identification, and general incubation of eggs. The remaining chapters are species-specific guides to hand-rearing that cover a variety of major avian species." "Hand-Rearing Birds provides a comprehensive resource to caring for and raising young birds. Each species-specific chapter provides valuable information on appropriate intervention, housing, feeding, and care. This volume brings together valuable approaches and techniques used in the care of a wide variety of avian species."--Jacket.
