Birds
Veterinary assessments for companion birds, including discussion of nutrition, feathers, behaviour, breathing and cage conditions.
Dedicated veterinary care for birds, rabbits, hamsters and turtles. Our exotic pet specialist provides individual attention, health assessments and guidance suited to your pet’s unique needs.

At The Hills Veterinary Clinic, our exotic pet specialist assesses your pet’s health alongside their diet, housing, daily routine and behaviour.
Whether you need a routine checkup, guidance for a new pet or an assessment of a health concern, our team will explain the findings and recommend appropriate next steps.
