Class: The Basic Bird: Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology, Part 1

Instructor: Cathy Johnson-Delaney, DVM

To truly appreciate these remarkable creatures, an exploration of the avian anatomy and physiology is essential. This course will present the avian anatomy and function from both a lifelong birder and avian veterinarian's perspective. This webinar will start with the musculoskeletal and respiratory systems and integrate the nervous and gastrointestinal systems, and how this impacts all aspects of flight and behavior.

Dr. Cathy Johnson-Delaney is a 1980 WSU graduate who has practiced avian and exotic pet practice in the greater Puget Sound area. She was board certified in avian practice, and is currently writing a textbook on avian procedures and techniques. She served as President of the Association of Avian Veterinarians 1994-95 and is currently on the board of the Association of NW Avian & Exotic Veterinarians.
