 "Dear Avian Medical Center Staff,
Thanks so much for the wonderful mr%20noodles.JPGcare you gave to our beloved Mr. Noodles. He could not have had a more wonderful group of caring people watching over him as he healed.  You all did an excellent job of keeping us posted on his progress and were gracious with your time whenever we called.  We, as his human friends, have learned from this experience how we must improve our animal interaction oversight to make sure that nothing like this happens again.  Thanks again for all you did to keep our 28 year relationship on track - our home felt so empty without Mr. Noodles watching over our living room!
  We are so grateful to have him back safe.  He is doing great, yesterday he was dipping fresh green beans into a dab of melting vanilla ice cream (a special treat he loves).  So thanks again for getting him back to us!!! And thanks to the person who went the extra mile and sent him home in the clean cage." 
January 2008  Sincerely, Susan and Randy

We also offer high quality professional 
boarding in a clean, friendly, and comfortable environment for your birds.  We have different areas to meet different needs of individual birds. 
 
Smaller birds are generally housed away from larger birds, and sensitive birds away from their noisier cousins. 
Consider us a home away from home for your feathered family members!  Yearly health exams are requested to help protect the health and safety of every bird that stays with us.  Learn more about our boarding program and facilities by clicking here.

Does your bird scream or bite?  Have you ever wanted to teach your feathered friend how to talk, or perform on cue?  How about trimming their nails without toweling them or going into their carrier on their own?  We can show you how to do it using positive reinforcement training techniques! 
 
We offer fun, helpful behavior assistance with personal consultations and bird training classes., and lest you think it's just for parrots, our behavior team has worked with ducks, pigeons and chickens as well!
 
If you are thinking about adding a bird to your family, we can also help you in creating the perfect match and setting up your home (and the relationship) for success!  You will have a personal consultant to assist you through each step of the process, from choosing which bird to buy/adopt, to the cage and accessories set up and more.  We will help you save $$ by showing how to invest in the best places for your dollar (like the cage), and how to save in other areas (like toys!).

Every Year: Has Your Bird Been to the Vet Yet?

- Yearly Health Exams -
Vital to your bird's continued good health

   Birds have the uncanny ability to mask almost every sign of illness.  This is why yearly health exams are so important. 

   We advise that a new bird be examined before being introduced to your current flock, and that your bird be examined on a yearly basis by an avian experienced veterinarian.  Yearly checkups are the best way to catch problems, or potential problems, early on.  

   There are many diagnostic tools available to ensure the health of your bird.  From fecal examinations to advanced digital radiography and blood work, The Avian Medical Center is prepared to meet the unique health care needs of avian patients. 

   Looking for another perk to yearly exams?  They also give you a chance to find out about the latest new advances in avian health.  Having a chance to talk with an experienced avian veterinarian about your bird's specific dietary, behavioral and environmental needs can be priceless.  Learn new ways to care for your bird to ensure optimum health and happiness.  Your bird will thank you!

Is it time for your bird's yearly health check?  Give us a call!
Contact Us 
We'll be happy to schedule an appointment with you!
