Jennifer Graham, DVM, DABVP (Avian/Exotic Companion Mammal Practice), associate professor of zoological animal medicine at the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University, talks about some of the most common avian respiratory emergencies.

Dr. Graham explains that bacterial and fungal pneumonias, along with bite wounds, are also common in birds.
