Bird Medicine & Surgery
Providing effective bird medicine and surgery requires a unique set of skills, different from those used for mammals. At Vet Marlborough, all our veterinarians are trained to diagnose and treat diseases in birds, ensuring your feathered companion receives the highest standard of care. Most of our bird consultations are conducted by Mark Wiseman, our avian specialist.
Mark has extensive experience working with a wide variety of species. He spent time in the UK caring for penguins, flamingos, large parrots, and more common pet birds such as budgies and cockatiels. He has also completed a post-graduate course in avian medicine, further enhancing his expertise in bird health and surgery.
