We provide care and treatment for all avian species including pet birds such as parrots and finches, raptors, chickens, waterfowl, pigeons, and doves.

Our services for your avian patient include:

• Routine and comprehensive wellness exams

• Fecal examinations
• Infectious disease testing
• Beak, toenail and wing trims
• Behavioral assessment for common problems such as feather plucking and aggression
• Diagnostic imaging, include radiographs, ultrasound, and computed tomography scans
• Surgery, both minimally invasive (via endoscopy) and coelomic, when necessary for both diagnosis and treatment of many respiratory and reproductive diseases
• Emergency and critical care services for your emergently sick bird
• Medical and surgical treatment for a wide range of conditions including egg bound birds, cloacal prolapse, and traumatic injuries

We commonly recommend light sedation for our avian patients that require minor procedures to ensure a comfortable examination for your avian patient.
