Hi Neil, welcome to the forum.
my wife and I attended your course at the NBOP centre a couple of seasons ago and found it invaluable

[Falcon]

Welcome Neil, I've never had the pleasure of meeting you, but have read articles by yourself and seen you on some documentaries and the like. Thank you in advance!

[Shaun Byrne]

No its not! It cant be! Not Neil Forbes the Avian Medicine God! lol!!

Welcome and thanks for giving some of your valuable time, I'm sure most people on the site will understand how busy you must be and hopefully not ask too many "silly" questions.

Thanks again.

Hello Neil,

I too am looking forward to your first aid course on the 16th.

I have had the pleasure of meeting you at 4am a few months back when I drove up from Bournemouth with my little Parrakeet Sweetcorn.

You put me in touch with David Holah down my way - thank you.

I have since take Sweetcorn up to Swindon to see Petra. Really fabulous lady and the new centre is very nice.

Welcome and thanks for any time you can spare us.

Debbie

[Hawkmaster]

HERE IS MESSAGE I EVENTUALLY GOT FROM NEIL:

Dear Paul,
I regret that in the last week I have withdrawn from all falconry
lists. Pressure of work has simly made it imposible for my to continue
spending time and effort answering 'non client' falconers questions.

Apologies



Neil A Forbes BVetMed CBiol MIBiol DipECAMS FRCVS
RCVS Recognised Specialist Zoo Animal and Wildlife Medicine (Avian)
European Veterinary Specialist Avian Medicine and Surgery

[Shaun Byrne]

I think by non client he means "Free"!! And if he withdrew in the last week why could he not have just said hello weeks ago?

[Varmint]

Well don't forget you also have another vet here on the forum "SPROUT" who although not quite so worldly wise as Mr Forbes, should still be able to answer any medical questions you may have.

Come on Karlos, do ur thing!

[Shaun Byrne]

He's probably down the bloodbank trying to make a withdrawl!lmao

[Kevin Massey]
