  Laura F. asked:

  Hello, I am looking for an avian vet recommendation. I have a bourke parakeet, about 11 years old, friendly and somewhat tame. He has chewed his leg pretty badly and it is not healing on it's own. I need a vet that knows smaller birds. In my experience I've found a lot of vets know more about parrots and less about the smaller ones. Can anyone recommend some one for me? I live in Islip and can travel, but prefer not too far as not wanting to stress my buddy out in the car too long.

  LIPS website - http://liparrotsociety.org/membership.htm We use Dr. Melrose - Avian vet at VCMLI-West Islip, for our Sun Conure. He is very gentle, informative and caring. I haven't tried any one else in that practice as we prefer an avian vet over general practice.
