Holistic Care for Birds: A Manual of Wellness and Healing de Pamela L. Higdon

Holistic Care for Birds: A Manual of Wellness and Healing

Autor Pamela L. Higdon, David McLuggage, David McCluggage
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 dec 1999
Birds are ideal subjects for holistic care. They are especially sensitive to emotional and physical stresses. Based on what we have learned from wild birds and studies completed in the last 10–20 years, this book will help you provide your bird with a longer, healthier life. Each beautifully illustrated chapter is written from two viewpoints, one from the leading holistic avian veterinarian and the other from a bird owner′s viewpoint. Holistic care is defined and the value of this type of care in relation to conventional western medicine is discussed. Other interesting topics include the physical bird, the emotional bird, nutrition and special holistic therapies.
