​​​​Recognised locally and globally as world leaders in avian medicine, we seek to share our knowledge to engage a long-term commitment to maintain the health of your bird (much-adored companion bird or backyard chicken) or flock (poultry establishment, aviary birds, studs, or any other aviculture facility). We offer an integrative approach to health care that focuses on understanding the biological processes that contribute to disease development. This holistic approach encompasses diagnosis, treatment and long-term prevention from a homeostatic perspective. We are able to offer this fresh approach through our extensive field research into the wild diet and behaviour of many bird species, alongside ongoing clinical analysis.

Since COVID, backyard chickens have exploded in popularity as companion birds and importantly have reconnected the younger generations to Nature.  For those without a back yard, hand raised psittacines (parrot species) continue to be embraced as the ultimate avian companion bird because of their intelligence, advanced cognitive abilities and playfulness. Companion birds are usually housed indoors alongside the human family and are therefore prone to many conditions associated with vitamin D deficiency (see webpage link).  Our health plans are customised for the special needs of each species to prevent such conditions. These include management strategies involving dietary recommendations, mealtime schedules, wild-type daily activities, visual and audial stimulation, advanced social interactions and structured learning timetables. Our complete system of care is designed to promote robustness through inner health and behavioural flexibility, whilst simultaneously heightening the bird-to-human bond throughout the various stages of a pet bird’s life.  

​

Aviculture continues to be the nursery of both backyard chickens and companion birds. We have developed wholistic health-care systems for chicken breeders to ensure the chicks and poults produced are disease resistant and live long healthy lives when sold as egg-laying pets. Similar tailored health plans have been developed for Gouldian finches, exhibition budgerigars, canary studs and other aviary birds.
