Specialist care for pet birds
Birds have unique anatomy and health needs that differ significantly from dogs and cats. At Paws in Motion Veterinary Clinic in Florentia, Alberton, we provide avian veterinary care for companion birds including parrots, cockatiels, budgies, and other popular species — with the gentle handling and specialist knowledge these patients require.
Services for your feathered friend
We offer avian health examinations, illness diagnosis and treatment, beak and nail care, nutritional advice, and guidance on housing and enrichment. Because birds often hide signs of illness, regular check-ups are especially important for catching problems early.
Bringing your bird to the clinic
We recommend transporting birds in a secure, covered carrier to reduce stress. If you notice changes in appetite, droppings, breathing, or behaviour, contact us promptly — birds can deteriorate quickly, and early intervention makes a real difference.
