About the journal
Members receive the quarterly publication Journal of Avian Medicine and Surgery, and the AAV Newsletter and Clinical Forum, which contains an international exchange of avian practice tips and news of the association and the profession, a Proceedings of each AAV Annual Conference, and an annual membership directory.
The field of avian medicine and surgery involves diverse areas of research and clinical endeavors. Important components of these clinical endeavors are teaching and research using avian species which contribute to our understanding of basic and clinical principles, and to advancing the welfare of birds. The Association of Avian Veterinarians focused its mission on Advancing and Promoting Avian Medicine and Stewardship. We, therefore, believe that avian veterinarians and students should conduct their teaching and research endeavors following all relevant laws and regulations. Each teacher, student, or researcher must ensure the welfare of the birds under his/her care and treat them in a humane manner. Each bird‘s protection depends on the conscience of each person handling the bird to advance basic and/or clinical principles to improve health care for all birds.
The Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (Guide) used by the PHS and American Association of Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care does not specifically address the husbandry and care of birds. Areas of the Guide that address, in general, with program and facility-wide issues were intended to be applied with professional judgment. In the case of birds, such judgment requires familiarity with the needs of the species in question. Guidelines for use of Birds in Research is intended to aid the institutional bird care and use committee (IACUC) in meeting these needs.
