Avian Medicine and Surgery

Psittacines such as African Grays, Cockatoos and Budgerigars are the most common birds seen in our practice, and we have considerable experience with these. Falcons are also popular. We recommend and stock "Harrison’s" avian diets for optimum nutrition. Many problems in psittacines seen here are related to poor quality feeding, particularly with overuse of sunflower seeds.

Note that a number of parrot species are regarded as endangered and international transport of them may be restricted. You may not be allowed to take the African Gray bought from a local souk (market) back to your home country without special permission.
