Brian Speer, DVM. Dip, ABVP, ECAMS
The Medical Center for Birds
3807 Main Street
Oakley, CA 94561
925-625-1878
Brian Speer was raised in a small town in California's central coast area. He received his bachelors of science degree in biological sciences with a concentration in zoology from California Polytechnic State University in 1978, and his DVM degree from the University of California at Davis in 1983. Since 1989, he has limited his practice in the San Francisco Bay area to include exclusively bird species, where his patients include psittacines, ratites, game birds, raptors and waterfowl. Brian received his board specialty status through the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners in February 1996, and formal certification in the European College of Avian Medicine and Surgery (ECAMS) in May, 1999.
An active member of the Association of Avian Veterinarians, he has served as chair of the Aviculture Committee and on their board of directors, and is currently immediate past-president. He serves as Veterinary Advisory Council for the American Federation of Aviculture, as a director for the Model Aviculture Plan, on the advisory board for the Advocates for Bird Conservation, and as folder editor for the Veterinary Information Network.
Dr. Speer is well published in the AAV annual proceedings, has served as guest editor for the journal Seminars in Avian and Exotic Pet Medicine, and authored chapters in several recent veterinary medical texts on pet bird and ratite medical topics. He is a co-author of the 530 page textbook The Large Macaws, published in 1995, and co-author of "Birds for Dummies", published in August 1999. Brian is a sought after guest speaker at veterinary conferences, avicultural conventions and bird clubs throughout the United States and abroad.
Along with his wife Denise and their two children, Dr. Speers shares his "spare time" with his own breeding collection of ostriches, emus, macaws and waterfowl. It is this first hand knowledge of avian medicine and aviculture that provides Dr. Speer with a unique insight into the cutting edges of avian medical fields as well as the mechanics of successful propagation efforts in birds.
