A veterinarian with specialist training in avian medicine, significantly different from general small-animal practice, and the only vet you should trust with a bird.
Birds hide illness as a survival instinct: by the time a bird looks sick, the underlying problem is usually advanced. An avian vet can read subtle clues, droppings, breathing posture, weight trends, beak quality, that a general practitioner often misses.
There are a small number of vets in the UAE with formal avian credentials, mostly clustered in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Establish a relationship before you need one: book an annual wellness check for your bird, and keep the clinic's after-hours number saved.
Birds at Dubai Birds are cared for by a partnered avian vet before release. Where a bird has a current health certificate on file, we share it with the new owner; if it doesn't, we can arrange one through a vet partner at the buyer's cost.
