About Us
They're Not Just A Pet.
We Aren't Just A Vet.
Our Story
Clinical Director and founder of The Bird Doctors, Dr Courtney Dunne, opened our bird only clinic recognising the need for a veterinary service to be available for parrots, chickens, finches, and all other feathered creatures, in the Northern suburbs of Melbourne.
We cater for all bird species, with the exception of birds of prey (our small herbivorous patients in the same space have noted their objection to these). We are here for general health checks, pre-boarding checks, as well as the management of ongoing or more complex medical and surgical conditions.
We work out of the Rabbit Doctors and are conveniently situated off Sydney road in North Coburg.
This clinic sees only birds and small mammals making it a predator free zone to help reduce stress for our feathered friends.
