In the 1990's a group of homeopaths, including Rajan Sankaran, Nancy Herrrick and Jeremy Sherr, began to notice the disproportionate number of proven remedies from animals - Clarke's Dictionary has 997 remedies listed, with 589 being from plants, 300 from minerals, and only 82 from animals.  Great credit belongs to Jonathan Shore and his colleagues for recognizing that of all the neglected animal groups, the birds had been the most completely ignored.  Ten years of research presents 16 bird remedies taking a giant step toward elucidating the nature of this family of remedies, complete with detailed prescribing tips. 

"I can imagine few things more honorable than to give voice, to truly see and transmit, some part of the spirit of our planet.  Usually this work is done by our poets and visionaries but in this case it was done by homeopathis.  I am awed and humbled.  This work of art should be required (and very enjoyable) reading for any serious homeopath."  -  David Kent Warkentin

"An understanding of the therapeutic power of remedies from the bird realm may prove to be one of the most significant developments in homeopathic materia medica.  It fills a crucial gap in our remedy pictures, and my clinical experience already confirms the extraordinary possibilities of these remedies.  This book is an excellent contribution to our developing understanding of this family of remedies."     - Richard Pitt

"This book constitutes a milestone in our knowledge on bird remedies, assembling ten years of information gathered from different sources and making the infromation available to the homeopathic world in a systematic way."    - Alize Timmerman
