The bird species we see include parrots, perching or song birds like canaries and finches, poultry, and water fowl. Upon your arrival you will fill out the avian history form, or you may fill this form out prior to your visit and bring it with you. During your first avian visit Dr. Smith and Meg will discuss all aspects of husbandry along with performing the physical exam. We will address any questions and concerns you may have and discuss a diagnostic and treatment plan should your bird be ill.
