What an Exotic Vet Wants Every Parrot Owner to Know ft. Dr. Noémie Hofman

What if most of the health issues pet parrots face could have been prevented? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Noémie Hofman, an exotic animal veterinarian based in Dubai whose career has taken her from working with parrots at the world-famous Loro Parque to tracking chimpanzees in the Ivory Coast, rehabilitating sea turtles in the Maldives, and now treating companion birds and exotics at a Veterinary Clinic in Dubai. We get into the most common medical conditions she sees in parrots and what's actually causing them, how diet and environment directly impact disease, the link between chronic stress and physical illness, the online misinformation that's leading to real clinical problems, and so much more!Episode Highlights:The most common medical conditions in parrots and what's actually causing themHow diet and environment directly impact disease What "doing everything right" actually looks like from a vet's perspectiveCommon online misinformation that's leading to real clinical problemsThe illegal parrot trade and what most people don't realizeHer incredible journey with conservation fieldwork Special Guest: 👉🏼 Dr. Noémie Hofman — Exotic Animal Veterinarian"If you want an animal, specifically a bird, make sure that you read up on them, specifically on the species that you're going to house and if, after documenting yourself and reading up that much, you realize that this is not for you, don't take them." — Dr. Noémie   🎥 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/poodlesandparrots🦜 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theparrotpodcast/ 🦜🐾 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/poodlesandparrots/ 🥦 Freebies & EBOOKS: https://poodlesandparrots.com/products💻 Helpful Blogs: https://poodlesandparrots.com/ 📌 Pinterest: pinterest.com/poodlesandparrots
