Homeopathic Bird Taxonomy and Provings

Summary

The authors offer a taxonomical arrangement of those remedies that have been homeopathically prepared from Bird-related substances, all within the Class of Aves, Birds. Remedies are nested inside families which are themselves placed within orders. Some of these preparations have been given provings; authors of any such provings are cited alongside the bird named.
