A big THANK YOU to Dr Phil Sacks and his staff for removing obstructing life threatening fibres from a much loved cockatiel. This procedure had to be done due to fibrous perches and toys inside the birds enclosure. 'Goku' became so fond of them that he decided to ingest them....A few days on he developed a huge lump in his chest.He lost a lot of weight because the fibres were obstructing any food that tried to make it's way through the digestive system. I asked Dr. Phil why these products are on our shelves when they can do so much harm? His reply: Why do we buy chocolate when it is so bad for our teeth or why don't we exercise more when it is so good for us? Anyway, I got the drift.This is my plead to all those caring bird lovers : PLEASE avoid products with fibres for your beloved companions. Not only was it a costly (but worthy ) procedure but the animal suffers .I know that many of us are not aware of these things and we think that we are doing our animals favours by providing them with these products. In this case not so . Now from experience I will stay well away from perches with fibres!!! Thanks to Dr. PHIL 'Goku' is all well and is making up for all those undigested treats. In other words he gets spoiled you wouldn't believe. Thumbs up for the 'Burwood Animal and Bird Hospital'.

Our experience at this clinic was phenomenal ! our beloved bird Pecka had 2 Fatty tumours removed & after 5 days being hospitalised we brought him home today prior to taking Pecka to the clinic we knew he was very sick & feared the worse.
Thank you so much Dr Phil & staff

We took our canary, Mango here after he was attacked and the vet helped us set up our cage wonderfully and he is so much happier now for it. Many people don't realise how great canaries are as pets but the staff here really appreciated Mango's character. He now is doing so much better.

Took my 15 year old kelpie x in for much needed dental work, clean & scale plus removal of two teeth. Dr. Phil Sacks did the procedure and was very thorough in explaining everything from sedation to the risk involved.....older dogs can be a bit touch & go under anaesthetic. But Phil was very reassuring. Ask him about tiger teeth sometime! She was home the same day & eating normally. Needless to say she was much happier & bouncing around like a puppy within a day or two! Follow up phone calls from Phil & Jacinta were also proof of a caring & professional team. Thanks guys!

The Doctors and the Staff at The Bird Vet Clinic have done amazing job to look after my Budgie since September 2015. My Budgie has ongoing issues with his eye feathers. Their treatment, knowledge, professionalism, friendliness, compassion & attention to detail is first class. I highly recommend their services to any person who loves their pet and requires medical or behavioural assistance.

I was actually highly advised by someone in a similar field to see Dr Pat about the problem my parrot had. (He was deteriorating, and this was of great concern). I always get quite anxious when I have to see some-one different because I want the "best" looking after my sick parrot. On this occasion however I was extremely impressed with Dr Michelle Sutherland. She took the time to undertake a thorough examination of 'Loui', explained to me and my children the options, her proposed care plan, and recommendations including the rationale behind a compulsory hospital stay, that included crop feeding. In final, I will only be returning with my birds to Dr Sutherland.
She is a excellent avian vet, and great communicator with adults and children.

After having been referred by my local(ish) vet, Charlie (my 6 mo eclectus) and I have had the pleasure to meet Dr Michelle Sutherland. She is very knowledgeable, very helpful and extremely generous with her time – she made time to call me, meet with me, answer my questions and explained really well what's going with Charlie, so I was updated (and reassured!) during Charlie's hospitalisation.
Michelle is very understanding and put a lot of effort in both Charlie and me (!), which I really appreciate.
I highly recommend Dr Michelle Sutherland and I'm very thankful for all her help. Thank you Michelle.
In fact, from now on I will happily travel 1 to 1.5 hours just to have all my parrots cared for by Michelle (and all friendly staff at the clinic). They're just way 'above' the rest of the 'avian' vets out there!

Dr Phil, Dr Pat have looked after my rainbow lorakeet for a few years now. Amazing service and care have been provided at some very difficult times. ( Merlin was not a well bird). Two years later and Dr Michele is now looking after Lady. Great service on all occasions that i visit the hospital
