Bird Health Check Consultations
An annual wellness check is one of the best things you can do for your pet bird even if you think they are healthy.
A checkup may include general grooming (nail trims are safer at the vet!), a physical exam where body condition is looked at and any general tests depending on your specific bird's needs.
At worst, we catch an illness early, at best we get a history of benchmarks which we can compare to in the future.
It's worth noting that by the time a bird shows signs of illness - it is already serious and possibly even life threatening.
Avian Customised Surgical Facilities and Equipment.
Bird Vet Melbourne is equipped to handle any sort of bird emergency and procedure. Avian equipment is very different from what you will find in a standard veterinary surgery. You can feel safe knowing your bird is being cared for by the most experienced staff with all of the tools that they will need.
Temperature Controlled Bird Specific Hospital Enclosures
Our avian patients are kept in their own private heated incubators, specifically designed for sick birds. They are fed the best quality food, and even have their own toys.
Our staff love our patients and give them plenty of attention and look to meet their every need.
We know how we would want our own pets to be treated and do everything in our power to ensure we give that to yours.
Behavioural and Bird Training Consultations
Want to stop your bird from biting? Screaming? Plucking? Destroying the world? Want to train your bird to wear a harness? Fly and recall? Or just get your bird to poop on someone other than you? We've got you covered.
Well known avian behaviourist, Mel Vincent manages the clinic and offers behavioural consults, parrot school, chicken school and more.
Some of the services that we offer:
A health checkup is your best chance to pickup signs of illness early, or just sort out what's going on when your bird doesn't seem to be their normal self.
From reproductive surgery, to orthopaedics - we do it all and we have the hospital boarding setup to support even the most critical cases.
We have emergency appointments reserved every day. We know things happen and that fast access to treatment can be the difference between life and death
Our highly trained staff have access to all of the latest equipment on site, allowing us to quickly assess and treat avian patients of all shapes and sizes.
Some things are best left to the vet. If grooming goes wrong, you can damage your relationship with your bird, or even cause a serious injury.
We routinely perform a variety of pathology tests on site, allowing for efficient, accurate diagnosis of your birds. We have laboratory support off-site for anything else.
Accidents happen. If your bird escapes - a microchip can get them home safely. Our microchips are extra small and can even be used to monitor your bird's temperature. Ask us how now!
We are the only avian clinic in Australia that is managed by a full-time behaviourist that specialises in birds. We can help you with all of you behaviour, training and husbandry needs.

Thank Dr. Phil, I got the best vet treatment not only in terms of physical but also emotional aspects. Dr Phil is really a person who cares about our pets, wants to provide best possible advise and help I have been to many respectable vets around Melbourne who won't even care about my concerns stating the pet feels great, when I can see he suffers. I will be sticking to this vet from now on and will be consulting Dr. Phil who is one of the best veterinarians so far in Melbourne.
