First Review
2 weeks ago was taken on a tour of the bird vet hospital – just brilliant behind the scenes facilities. Each bird in a private clean heated hospital cage with appropriate perches and toys. Very hard to get better .

I found an injured bird ( budggie?) in the backyard this morning and took it to this vet. The staff were very friendly and the vet took the bird in right away. My son also saw this injured bird and he was very sad. Hope the poor bird can live. God bless him.

Most reliable and helpful. We have two cockatiels, and one of them is an albino. This makes her condition different and delicate compared to other birds. Dr. Phil is very patient and has immense knowledge.
We had terrible mis diagnosis and treatments from other vets. The experience here has been a life saviour.
Thank you š

The Vet Ruth, who cared for our two very badly injured chickens who were attacked by a fox, is absolutely amazing. Ruth ensured both our chickens were stitched up and survived. Ruth is knowledgeable, caring and everything you need when a loved pet is in pain and distress. Thank you Vet Ruth and her brilliant team.

Wow, I can not tell you how amazing these guys are. My blue and gold macaw Luna took a nasty knock to the head, causing some nasty bruises and some swelling. These guys got me in the same day! Due to Covid-19 I was unable to go in there with her, however throughout the whole process they called and sent photos of the whole appointment that made me feel so happy to know she was in the best hands. I travel 2 hours to come to these guys and I will do so forever! Thank you again guys! ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø – Luna and Grace

My daughter and I had the worst experience at this place and will never recommend it to anyone. Dr Phil was most unpleasant and most unprofessional. He spoke to us in front of others in the waiting room in a demeaning fashion with a care factor of zero and we left with the experience of appalling customer service. Never taking my pets back there again.

Thank you Bird Vet Melbourne for saving my bird!
I took my cockatiel Peako to the vet when I noticed he was vomiting.
After a few seconds into the examination, the vet knew immediately what was wrong.
Peako had been chewing on natural rope that I used in his cage to tie toys/branches. He had ingested a concerning amount of this fibre & if not acted on fast by an Avarian specialist, would have resulted in death as it was sitting in his stomach impacting his digestion.
I adore my little guy to bits & would never dream of doing anything to harm him.
Unfortunately, Avarian vets see fibre impaction regularly as almost all bird toys contain some element of rope.
If you have rope in your birds cage I highly recommend removing it immediately.
Please please please be aware of what you are providing your bird. Rope toys look pretty & fun but they are just not worth it.

Dr Philip Sacks operated on my beautiful girl last year in June 2020. She is not a bird, in fact a big dog. He was so considerate and kind to us both. Such a wonderful feeling knowing you have someone trustworthy and great at what they do; taking care of a being, that means the world to you. Thank God we were referred to him. Highly recommend.

Amazing care for our 9 year old chicken Artemis Fowl who was attacked by a greyhound in Jan 2020. Dr Phil performed emergency surgery to repair severe lacerations and after further surgeries and a long period of rehabilitation at home, she has returned to a happy life in our backyard. We didnāt think she would survive the dog attack, but the staff at bird vet Melbourne worked hard to ensure she would have to best chance of recovery and have a good quality of life.

Pls ensure you use an Avian Vet if you have birds. Have used several times inculding two emergency situations, always there to help.
Once I went to a local vet (who was mainly a dog dentist) and the vet would have overdosed my Rainbow Lorikeet if I did not attend Bird Vet Melbourne a few days later…

After trying other Avian Vets, I highly recommend Bird Vet Melbourne. Our little Quaker, Blue, was treated for worms and had her droppings tested during the same consultation. We got a mix of advice from the other vets, but Dr. Ruth helped explain everything which put me at ease knowing our lil feathered friend was in good hands. It was an hour long drive to get there, but I’d do it again in a heart beat!

Dr Phil Sacks conducted a general check-up on our 1.5 year old flightless rescue lorikeet, Boo. Phil recommended we conduct a blood test to determine if Boo has had or currently has beak & feather disease. As Boo had never been handled by a stranger, we were apprehensive as to how the bird would respond. However, due to Philās care and professionalism, Booās consultation went off without a hitch!

I have been going to Bird Vet Melbourne for a very long time. My name is Kelly. I have an 18 year old Indian Ringneck called Bernie. The expert care your receive at this vet is extraordinary. They are full of knowledge, compassion, and are very attentive to the needs of not just my bird but every animal that comes in through the doors. They are so loving and kind to Bernie my Vet Dr Esther as well as Dr Phil and the very kind vet nurses. Taylor was very kind when Bernie was eggbound recently and very ill in hospital. Taylor took such good care of her sending me photos and giving me updates. I really appreciated everyoneās help. I would highly recommend getting implants for female birds to stop them laying eggs and getting eggbound every year. I cannot recommendation Bird Vet Melbourne highly enough thank you everyone for looking after Bernie Watson.

Phil & his team are the most empathic carers. I cannot thank him & his team enough. Phil has saved my girls (chooks!) on numerous occasions now – including a life saving surgery on my now 8 year old girl Bobski. I would not entrust anyone else with their care. And even though weāre in Yarraville, the hike across town is always worth it. He has spent hours with us when needed, which I trust is unusual. But moreso, he equally cares about your welfare when discussing options & treatment plans. Trust me, you cannot get better care for your feathered & furred friends. ZoĆ« & Peter, Yarraville.

Please be careful ! We have just seen another fox attack victim. With daylight saving a lot of pets are being kept outside in the dark, when foxes are more active. Those with automatic timers for chickens and ducks please ensure you adjust for day light saving. Smaller birds loosing limbs and wings is still happening. Please take care.

I give Dr Phil Sacks and his team 5 stars. Iād give 100 if I could. They have saved my Isa Browns life twice now. Last year they did an orthopaedic pin on my girls broken leg and she is back to running around like normal, just the slightest limp. She even had a wheelchair š and the price was super reasonable. Then recently my darling girl had a prolapse if uterus and intestines and again with surgical intervention he saved my girl. They do all animals but if your bird needs veterinary attention Dr Phil will always be my first port of call. Other again vets were talking euthanasia but not these guys! Big hearts and highly skilled š
