PatronsPatronage is the support, encouragement, privilege, or financial aid that an organisation bestows to an individual. These appointments go to people who have supported the Parrot Society of Australia and the profile of aviculture through their professional careers. The Society endorses the nomination of up to four patron positions each year at the Annual General Meeting. Provisions have been made for two veterinary, a national and international patron that represent the objectives of the Society in public forums and through their professional networks as advocates. Dr. Adrian Gallagher Adrian has had an interest in nature and aviculture in general all of his life. He has kept a variety of species including finches, doves, pigeons, quail, poultry and parrots. Adrian graduated from Queensland University with a Bachelor of Veterinary Science (honours) in 1985. He achieved his membership with the Australian College of Veterinary Scientists in Avian health in 1993. Adrian was always destined to have a career in avian medicine and after graduation commenced building an avian practice at the Brighton Veterinary Surgery (BVS). BVS was sold after 20 years to establish Brisbane Bird Vet, which is an avian only practice in Chermside on Brisbane’s Northside. Adrian has held committee roles numerous veterinary organisations e.g. Australian Veterinary Association, Association of Avian Veterinarians and Australian Avian Veterinary Medicine Association. He has had a long association with the Parrot Society of Australia, joining in 1986 and holding the position of patron. Adrian is also a director of the Parrot Trust of Australia.
