Bird Health  with Dr. Rob Marshall.
An understanding and knowledge of the requirements of birds in the wild is the basis of Dr. Rob Marshall’s approach to bird health. He has developed specialized health programmes and health products that protect and enhance the health of all bird types in a purely natural way.

There are programmes for pet birds, parrot or finch aviaries, pigeons of all kinds, ornamental aviaries, specialist finch or parrot breeders, show canaries, backyard poultry, exhibition budgerigars, scientific research institutions, pet shops and specialized bird shops.

Dr. Rob Marshall also provides a very personalized veterinary service to all parts of Australia.

His approach to good health in flock birds relies upon the selection of vital breeding birds and the use of clever health programmes to promote a strong natural resistance against disease. This doctrine nurtures natural health and minimises the use of medicines allowing the flock to thrive in a purely natural way.

When needed, medicines are used to protect the health of the flock but the weaker birds failing to respond to treatment are eliminated. This follows nature’s first law "The survival of the fittest" and protects the long-term health and vitality of the flock.

There are many different health programmes. Please browse through the section on the type of bird that interests you, using the links above.
