Preventive Care

Vaccination
There are no effective drugs to treat avian polyomavirus. Therefore, it is best to control viral disease by preventing infections through the use of vaccines. There is a series of 2 injections. We recommend the first vaccination of baby parrots at 35 days of age, adult birds in their breeding season and new birds added to a collection while still in their quarantine period. The second injection should follow in two weeks but not later than three weeks. Booster vaccinations should be given annually for all high-risk birds. All others may be given booster vaccinations every two years. (Consult us to determine if your bird is considered high risk.)

Behavioral Counseling
In conclusion, our feathered companions are fully armed with all the same instincts that their wild counterparts possess. They are in unnatural environments, which encourage unnatural behaviors. Behavior changes take time, especially if the behavior has been habituated over a long time. All members of the household need to participate in a behavioral modification program. If the owners can not define clear and appropriate boundaries for the parrot, how can the bird be expected to know what is acceptable?
Comprehensive Examination
Small mammals are susceptible to many diseases. Causes range from infections to nutritional problems. Dental disease also occurs. Routine examinations are important in detecting and treating disease early in its course.
