Deborah realised even before graduation that she wanted to help the less represented animal species reach the heights of care and wellness that dogs and cats achieved, and she set out to do so within her first year. The feathered, scaly and small-creature-furred path led her to England, to complete an avian residency, and she emerged from that adventure with specialist status recognised in both Europe and Australia. Soon after returning to this land of birds and colours, she started Brisbane Bird and Exotics Veterinary Service, and it's been increasing in staff and client numbers since 2006. She is the slave of four pet parrots, two cats and a Black Headed Python.
