Vet FAQ (1995 update)
Cathy Quinones
Finally, here's the updated listing of veterinarians that treat birds AND
that have been recommended by rec.pets.birds readers. Sorry it took so
long!!
NOTE that some of the stuff in the intro (re: what info is in what FAQ)
is NOT up-to-date. Recently the info got split into smaller files that
deal with specific topics. I don't have those handy so I couldn't update
that info [I guess this is a hint to the *other* FAQ maintainers!].

Who was lovely and also quite sly.
He'd look a person right in the eye,
