Transporting Your Bird to Our Clinic

Transporting Your Bird to Our Clinic

FOR YOUR BIRD’S SAFETY, PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS NO FOOD OR WATER IN THE CARRIER!

To safely and comfortably transport your bird, small plastic kennels (like for cats) and/or collapsible metal cages (with or without a perch) with a towel, newspaper or paper towels on the bottom work great. Individual carriers for each bird also makes caring for them easier. (acrylic cages are attractive but not ideal for transportation).

Remove any food and water from your bird’s cage before securing it, and place paper towels inside to absorb urine and, if needed, monitor fecal output.
