Congratulations to Dr. Colin Walker on being awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in 2025.
 
Colin Walker was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in 2025 for his 'service to avian veterinary science and to pigeon racing'. He has been racing pigeons since 1969.
 
Dr. Walker has worked as an avian veterinarian to assist the CCEAD (Consultative Committee of Emergency Animal Disease) to develop an effective PMV Vaccination protocol and with Agribio the diagnostic arm of the DPI to identify a new disease namely rota  virus. He has also shared his professional expertise at international conferences, published four books, contributed to journals and research, and held the position of Honorary Veterinarian for the Victorian Homing Association (VHA) for over 30 years and more recently with the Victorian Pigeon Racing Pigeon Body (VRPB).
 

When interviewed on Australian national television Colin said  “I feel honoured, thrilled but a little bit shocked because really what I’ve been doing is just living my life as a veterinarian. So I am a little bit surprised that people think that what I’ve done during that time, warrants this award. I am very grateful.”
