A long out-of-print, fact-packed book of avian anatomy. It is required reading for those seeking board certification and is highly recommended for anyone in the avian medical field. Used copies can be acquired on eBay but their price has steadily risen and they are harder to find. I scanned this copy in years ago to make it more portable and to share with students. Download and enjoy!

Thank you, Scott, for uploading the chapters of this scarce, classic text! It is exceptionally valuable to have PDFs of this important reference to hand. Just to note, though, that the links to Chapters 8 et seq. seem to be not working.

Thanks Scott!
Thank you so much for including this resource on your site!
