George Grifols, one of our veterinary bird has been invited to take part in VE Aviornis Iberian congress to be held in the city of Palma de Mallorca the next 5 and 6 March 2011. In the course of this conference give a talk about updating the picatge bird psitàcids , a very common problem and is quite a day especially since most psitàcids kept as a pet from pet birds bred in captivity and very in touch with people from the early stages of his life.

Other speakers that promise to be interesting is Rafael Zamora of Loro Parque, Xavier Viader Psittacus of Catalonia, Lluis Parpal, COFIB veterinarian and biologist Marcia Czulik we talk about the ex-situ breeding of toucans as a tool for to conservation . If you come to Mallorca, do not forget to come to greet them. The event is free for members of Aviornis.

Each year the Association Psitacultura organized a conference for all those who share the common interest for the psitàcids , displaying current issues related to the world of this group of birds. More information about the topics discussed this year to its website .

The last days of February 5 and 6 took place in Granollers (Barcelona), the 8th meeting of the Association of Breeders of Psitàcids. Badalona Zoo Veterinary there was present, sharing experiences and talks with members present during the two days of meeting.

David Perpiñán, one of our exotic veterinarians presented a talk on endoscopy in birds, explaining its benefits and uses psitàcids. George Grifols, one of our vets, along with Caesar in Merino, the Central Unit of the Environment of the Autonomous Police, through a panel discussion was to clarify the doubts of members on legal and practical aspects of possession of a core zoos and tenure and legal protection of these exotic pets.

The 26 children in the class B 2 (which is called "Vets"), seven years old this week have come to visit our school. The children, accompanied by their teacher, Miss. Paula had worked the day before you come visit, and had prepared a long list of questions about the tasks and functions of the veterinary care of companion pets ( dogs , cats , parrots, tigers, whales ...!) .

The staff of Zoo Veterinary Badalona have been children, and after viewing all, we proceeded to make a detailed tour of our clinic, showing all rooms, explaining what we do in each one and tell them about our daily work.

What I liked most, was the visit to the area hospital with cages and the animals inside, and the prequiròfan and the operating room, where they could see all the tools and machines used in interventions of different species in question. The riddles with radiographs of exotic species have generated very funny moments.
