Meet the Bird Vet Melbourne Team
Our Staff...
Led by our amazing Vet Director, Avian Vet Dr. Phil Sacks, this team's passion for bird health is unparalleled. When it comes to birds, it is essential you come to a "bird-vet" team strongly experienced with avian medicine.
At Bird Vet Melbourne you have the option of seeing multiple bird experienced vets. You can also book a parrot behavioural or parrot-training consultation with practice manager Mel Vincent who is a bird behaviourist and able to answer any question relating to bird-behaviour.
The avian veterinary nursing team are experts in their field. Many clinics, call students "nurses". Our nurses are qualified, certified nurses. With an impeccable track record of safe anaesthetics, your bird has the best chance with this talented team.
We regularly take students on, to learn from our experienced team. Our students go through a stringent interview process and are fully supervised by qualified staff at the clinic as they work to become qualified themselves.

Georgia
Student Nurse.
Tickles and Evil Tickles. (Bird Clinic Quakers.)
These guys rule the avain clinic. If you call and can't hear us over the angry Quaker screams, someone probably just touched their moon shaped mirror.
If you haven't met them yet - you want to. Yell Peekaboo - they'll yell it back.
Their job description includes: yelling at telemarketers when they're dumb enough to ring the Bird-clinic, throwing things at the Bird-vet staff and walls and of course greeting and sorting out our Bird clients.
They bring an amazing amount of comfort to those who have received bad news.
Their special skills include pooping on people on command. So don't mess with us, we've got feathered weapons.
