Rob Marshall
Rob Marshall has been keeping birds since 1960, beginning with pigeons. In 1975 he graduated in veterinary science and four years later established his existing practice, Carlingford Animal Hospital in Sydney, Australia. Rob continued his bird health studies in Germany, Holland and the USA. In 1988 he was awarded the MACVSc (Avian Health). Rob’s presentations, lectures and contributions to numerous magazines internationally are prolific. As well as writing his own books, he has contributed to the health and disease sections of a number of the ‘A Guide to…’ series titles published by ABK Publications and has written articles for Australian Birdkeeper Magazine. As well as pigeons, Rob’s favourite bird species include the Gouldian Finch and the Eclectus Parrot. In his practice, Rob has dealt with all species of pet birds and through his ongoing research has developed a range of nutritional supplements for pet and aviary birds.
