Dr Deborah Monks (Qld)

The science of supplementation
After graduating from the University of Queensland, Deborah Monks started her journey in avian and exotic animal medicine. In the following years, she worked in a variety of practices (general, emergency, 50% avian/50% small animal practice), before finally moving to the United Kingdom to start an avian residency. There she obtained her Certificate of Zoological Medicine. Back in Australia she achieved Membership of the Australian College of Veterinary Scientists in Avian Health in 1999 and attained Fellowship (Specialist) status in 2006 (FACVSc [Avian Health]). Only two vets in Queensland have achieved Fellowship status, the other being Dr Bob Doneley who will speak at QFS in November. So with all that Dr Monks is well qualified to discuss the critical importance of correct nutrition for birds and to focus particularly on how we use nutritional supplements. This talk on the "science of supplementation" will be worthwhile for every birdkeeper. See you there!
