Bird Care
Birds are intelligent, sensitive, and deeply engaging companions, but they have very specific needs to stay healthy and truly thrive. At Urban Exotics, we provide dedicated avian care tailored to their medical, behavioural, and husbandry requirements, while supporting owners with clear, practical guidance. If you are looking for a bird vet, we offer care designed specifically around birds and how they live, so your feathered companion can enjoy a long, comfortable life. 🐦
What we offer
Health Checks
During the visit, we assess your pet’s overall health and lifestyle. First-time clients complete a short questionnaire about home environment and diet. We’ll review nutrition, perform a full physical exam, check weight, run a faecal test for parasites and infections, and talk through any behavioural changes or concerns you may have.
Diagnostics
We offer a wide range of in-house diagnostic tests to help us quickly understand what’s going on with your pet. This includes blood testing, cytology, faecal test, biopsies, x-rays, and ultrasound. Our in-house machines allow us to run many blood tests using a very small sample, with results available in as little as 20 minutes.
Medical Illness
We help manage a wide range of illnesses in birds, especially those affecting reproductive problems, and systemic conditions involving the liver and kidneys. Our focus is early detection and working closely with you to keep your bird healthy and comfortable.
Hospitalization
We offer hospitalisation for birds in purpose-designed enclosures that help regulate temperature and reduce stress during their stay. While in hospital, we provide careful monitoring of appetite, gut motility, pain levels, and hydration, with supportive care such as assisted feeding, fluid therapy, and tailored pain relief when needed. Our goal is to create a calm, safe environment that supports recovery while keeping you updated every step of the way.
Palliative Care
We also provide gentle, compassionate palliative care for birds with chronic or life-limiting conditions. Our focus is on comfort, pain control, mobility, appetite support, and quality of life, while helping you make thoughtful decisions along the way so your bird feels safe, supported, and cared for at every stage.
