Avian Pet Care in Broward County

Birds are social and intelligent animals that require regular physical and mental stimulation, plenty of attention, appropriate toys for enrichment, and ample space to spread their wings and fly. We suggest placing their enclosure in a lively area where family activities occur, while also ensuring it feels secure and safe for them.

Key components of your bird's care at our hospital include:

  • Physical exam (annual)
  • Annual wellness bloodwork
  • Routine screening for disease
  • Grooming
  • Environment reviews
  • Nutrition

The physical exam is a crucial aspect of your bird's healthcare, as it helps us detect and identify any abnormalities in their appearance and behavior. If you observe anything unusual at home, please contact us immediately at (954) 748-2002.
