See the breakdown of our available care below and give our team a call if you have any questions or are ready to schedule your bird’s visit.

Beak Trimming

Beak overgrowth can occur in birds for a number of reasons, including an improper diet, genetic factors, or lack of opportunities for natural wear and tear. Overgrown beaks can lead to difficult grooming, eating, and social interactions. Our team performs beak trims with precision and care, ensuring the safety and comfort of your bird. Proper beak function is a necessity for your bird, so if there is discomfort or a change in your bird’s eating habits and attitude, this treatment may be needed.

Wing Trimming

This treatment is an important aspect of avian care, especially for pet birds who are typically in cages. Wing trimming prevents accidents and injuries caused by uncontrolled flights, as well as reduces the potential risk of accidental release or escape. Our veterinarians at Southern Veterinary Clinic are skilled at performing wing trims that maintain the bird's balance while still preventing full flight.

Nail Trimming

Having long nails may seem beneficial to birds, but they actually cause discomfort and may even cause injury. The long nails interfere with their perching and walking, which may lead to other incidents. Southern Veterinary Clinic offers nail trimming services to safely and effectively trim your bird’s nails to an appropriate length. Our team works diligently to ensure that this experience is comfortable and positive for your bird during this treatment. We always encourage open communication of your bird’s personality and behavior so we could minimize any possible stress.
