Bird Health Examinations | My Bird Is Unwell | General Bird Care
It isn’t hard to see why there are more birds kept in Australian households than dogs and cats. Available in such a wide range of sizes, shapes, colours and behaviours, from a single budgie to aviaries full of macaws, these winged creatures give us incredible joy.
Fortunately for our feathered friends the standard of care has improved dramatically in recent times. We now know a lot more about bird nutrition, behaviour and how to keep a wide variety of species in good health. At BBEVS we believe that birds deserve access to a high standard of veterinary care, just like dogs and cats.
Birds deal with disease and injury very differently to dogs and cats. Many bird species are seen as prey and even in the safe confines of our homes, will disguise any signs of illness or weakness. This means that by the time we notice they are unwell, disease can often be advanced. Please call us on 07 3420 6773 if you suspect your bird is unwell and also follow the link to My Bird Is Unwell for further information.
A cornerstone of maintaining wellness in birds is regular preventative health examinations. These examinations use a combination of physical examination and diagnostic testing to assess your pet for any early signs of disease, as early identification of disease provides the best chance of successful resolution. See Bird Health Examinations.
We also recommend veterinary assessment of all new pets. This is important for early identification of abnormalities and is particularly relevant if you already own birds or exotic pets, as some diseases can spread rapidly from the new arrival to the other animals in your household. If you are new to bird or exotic pet ownership, this initial consultation will ensure that you start your ownership armed with the most up-to-date knowledge for that particular species.
