For The Birds

Wonderful vets and staff. Patient with my constant questions and concerns. Educated me on how to properly care for my birds. When one of my birds became a special needs bird they went above and beyond to give her a chance to heal but when it was clear she would need to have a different set up now they taught me to modify her cage. They are amazing and love birds here.

Birds vet is very acknowledge and nice, she explained us everything about our cockatiel and helped me to calm him down after being traumatized in the pet store. I highly recommend her!

If you own ANY feathered pet, no matter the variety, THIS is the BEST Bird-VET in the northern California area. I live oon Pasadena, but my little, noisy, 5-ounce Conure parrot makes periodic trips to Cupertino to "his VET," Dr. VanSant. J-J is worth it, and this VET knows my bird and treats him like it is her own.

The nurse person was lovely and wonderful. The vet can go f-k herself. Ive never seen more rude and horrible customer service from a vet. Try telling me what needs fixing instead of making it sound like my bird is going to die tomorrow unless i change his habits. I need to do a diagnostics test but believe me I will not be coming back here to do so.

Foster fails aka adopted our 2 senior birds. The only trustworthy place to go.

Staff is inexperienced and lack professionalism in customer service. # of visits = 2 1. They charge hefty amount so be careful and ask it upfront. Don't be surprise when you see your bills $300+ and there is no up limit to it thousands. 2. They do extreme treatments that you did not ask for or bird did not need X-rays/overdose of medications without proper diagnosis, unnecessary putting in oxygen when problem is not lack of oxygen but something else. Super pressing on keeping bird for days overnight without proper diagnosis. When going home, force pet owner to take the container with us, which is nothing other than a plastic storage box. We have plenty at home why we should rent from you? Even if you give it free with deposit held, why? If I don't need it, I don't need it. Lastly, upon refusal, pet owner gets to see their faces that they make with rudeness. 3. Turning point for me -- They make you feel guilty as if you don't know what you are doing as a pet owner. From everything like diet, keeping bird in and out of cage, type of cage, how you brought the bird in what type of pet carrier etc. If they want to educate a pet owner there is a way to do it, but they don't do that way. They make you feel so horrible as a pet owner as if everything we are doing is wrong here and even all the pet stores. So whatever food, toys, perch, and cages they are selling is toxic for birds and not the appropriate stuff for birds. 4. Moment I realized their bill was multiplying I immediately called another pet hospital in Santa Clara and this staff at "For the Birds" made faces and commented further to give pet owner more guilt if pet owner choose not to keep the birds with them. As a pet owner, I told them I am not happy with service and I care about my bird, just taking them to another place. They just assume and started giving me guilt trip and used verbiage that provided strong objection and consequence of leaving their place without full treatment i.e "your bird will die" at that point my bill had increased to $600 already. I got proper diagnosis, love, care and treatment for my bird at other pet hospital. Bird is still alive and healthy. If you want your bird alive and not spill money from your wallet because they will surely milk it, do not go to this place. I lost trust in them forever.

This place is an absolute racket. Proving once again health care for any living body is reserved for the rich. Multiple visits have resulted in little to no action to actually help my pets but this place has no issue charging you hundreds of dollars to just walk in the door. Need simple antibiotics? You can expect over $200 for that visit. The bird needs to spend the night because it’s having difficulty laying an egg? That’ll be $1000 Your bird got injured and needs a suture? That’ll be $700. It’s a shame that so much suffering needs to occur because of the greed running rampant in this Bay Area. Euthanasia is by far the cheapest and most effective “treatment” these people will provide, obviously with the mental toll it takes to make a decision like that. I guess I’ll be taking my pet home and hope for the best as I watch them suffer because no body is willing to help for a reasonable rate. At this point I am purchasing my medicine through the internet and learning to DIY these procedures because that’s the only option left to receive any kind of health care I can afford in this country.

We come to buy foods for the birds ; is very nice place to shop their food, the lady give us a lots recommendations, thanks
