Book an appointment
Avian medicine is a specific field in veterinary medicine that requires special training and facilities designed to treat birds. Our avian veterinarians at Mount Pleasant Mandai have a special interest in avian medicine and can provide bird-specific veterinary care and advice. Our avian services include:
- General consultations and yearly examinations
- Diagnostic radiology
- General surgery
- Behavioural consultations
- In-house and external laboratory diagnostics and pathology
- Husbandry and nutritional counselling
Pet birds need regular medical care just like dogs and cats, but unlike mammals, birds tend to hide signs of illness until they are very ill. This makes routine veterinary checks especially important for bird owners. Some potential signs of illness in birds are:
- Refusing food and treats
- Sudden changes in behaviour or vocalisations
- Lingering on cage bottoms instead of perches
- Changes in dropping colour and form
- Fluffed up feathers or drooping wings
These are signs that something may be wrong with your feathered friend, and it may be time to seek out an avian veterinarian immediately. To find out more about health problems that birds may face, check out our blog here.
