Avian history

Most of what is wrong with a bird is written into how it lives — the enclosure, the light, the air and the diet. Answer what you can before the visit and the exam starts from something, instead of from twenty minutes of questions.

Avian patients

Tell us how your bird lives

Nothing here is required except the handful of things we cannot proceed without. Leave a question blank rather than guessing at it — a blank tells us more than a made-up number.

You
Your bird
Sex (optional)
If known, how was that determined? (optional)
The enclosure
Are the wings trimmed? (optional)
Light, air and bathing
Does anyone smoke in the household? *
Are aerosols, candles, non-stick cookware or air fresheners used? *
Diet
Water supply *
Why you are coming in
Is this a check-up or an illness? *

TK The current form has a checkbox list of observed signs at this point, and the 26 August export did not capture its options. Rather than invent a clinical symptom checklist, this asks the same question in prose. Send the real option list and it goes back to being a checkbox group.

Activity level *
Appetite *
History and medications

This goes into your bird’s record and is read before the exam. We do not sell it. What we collect and who receives it.

Bring, if you can

  • A photo of the enclosure as it normally is
  • The food packaging, or a photo of the label
  • Droppings from the last day on clean paper

The current version of this form asks seventy-one questions, almost all of them as separate boxes, and marks a scatter of them required for no clinical reason. This one groups the husbandry questions the way a veterinarian actually asks them and requires only what an exotics appointment genuinely cannot start without. Anything you leave blank gets asked in the room.
