🌞 Hot Weather Pet Travel Tips! 🌡️

As temperatures rise, it’s important to take extra precautions when transporting your exotic pets to their veterinary appointments. Here are a few hot weather transport tips to help keep your companions safe:

🐹 Pre-cool your car before loading your pet. Never place carriers in a hot vehicle—even for a minute.

🦜 Cover carriers with a light towel to provide shade, but make sure there is still plenty of ventilation.

🐍 Avoid direct sunlight—keep carriers off dashboards or seats that get full sun.

🐰 Limit time outside—move from your home to your air-conditioned vehicle quickly, and head straight to the clinic.

🐢 Bring a water bottle or spritz bottle for misting species that benefit from added humidity.

🚫 Never leave your pet unattended in a car, even with the windows cracked.

Your pet’s safety starts the moment they leave your home—thank you for helping us keep them comfortable and cool! ❄️💙

Today is the Summer Solstice—the longest day of the year—bringing extended daylight hours that have a significant impact on birds. Increased sunlight triggers natural behaviors such as singing, mating, and foraging. For pet birds, longer days can mean more activity and stimulation, but it’s important to balance this with periods of rest and darkness to support their health and well-being. Providing a consistent light-dark cycle helps regulate their natural rhythms.

Summer Bird Care Tips:

Ensure fresh, clean water is always available to keep birds hydrated in warmer weather.

Provide shaded areas or cover cages to protect birds from direct sunlight and overheating.

Maintain good ventilation but avoid drafts, especially during hot days.

Offer a variety of fresh fruits and veggies to support nutrition and hydration.

Monitor birds for signs of heat stress, such as panting or lethargy, and consult your veterinarian if needed.

Enjoy the extra sunshine, and keep your feathered friends happy and healthy this summer!

🖤❤️💚 Honoring Juneteenth at Specialized Care for Avian & Exotic Pets 💚❤️🖤

Today, we commemorate Juneteenth, a day marking the end of slavery in the United States and celebrating Black freedom, resilience, and achievement.

As a practice dedicated to caring for the most unique and diverse creatures—feathered, scaled, and everything in between—we recognize the beauty that comes from honoring diversity in all its forms. Just as every bird’s song and every reptile’s pattern tells a unique story, so too does the history and culture we reflect on today.

Our clinic remains open today to care for your beloved exotic companions—but we do so with deep respect for the significance of this day in American history. 💫

🐦 Meet Quincy & Hamlet – A Bonded Pair Looking for a Forever Home 🐦

We’re helping one of our clients find a loving, experienced home for their beloved feathered companions, Quincy and Hamlet.

💚 Quincy is a sweet Quaker parrot with a goofy laugh, a big heart, and a strong bond with his person. He’s a shoulder-sitter, a hand-fed cuddler, and has a bit of anxiety around new people at first — but once he warms up, he’ll be your little shadow. He's picky with food and currently on a seed-based diet, though he’s trying more fruits and veggies.

💙 Hamlet is a hilarious Green Cheek Conure and a total attention hog. He loves to snuggle into your shirt collar, peek out like a little birdie turtle, and is learning to talk (usually when you’re trying to sleep 😄). He’s more adventurous with food and always up for a snack or two!

These two have a special bond and must be adopted together. They share a custom “birdie condo,” enjoy free time outside of the cage, and thrive on a daily routine. They’ve traveled with their current owner, enjoy human company, and are used to calm dogs and cats. They would do best in a home with:

A couple or individual with bird experience

No children under 16

Lots of time, love, and patience to give

This decision has been incredibly difficult for their current owner, who loves them deeply but is facing ongoing medical challenges. These birds are not being given away lightly — they are family and will only go to a home that treats them the same. If it doesn’t work out, the current owner will take them back.

If you or someone you know might be the perfect home for Quincy and Hamlet, please reach out to [email protected]. Let’s help these sweet souls find the safe, loving forever home they deserve. 💕🦜

🐦 Meet Tom & Jerry – Two Charming Parakeets Looking for a Loving Home! 🐦

These two beautiful parakeets are in need of a new forever home. Originally cared for by a beloved family member who has since entered a nursing home, Tom and Jerry have been settling into their current home for the past 3 months.

🟢 Tom is the slightly chubbier one with fewer black markings on his back and tends to hang toward the back of the cage.
🔵 Jerry is a bit smaller, with more black markings, and is the more curious of the two!

They’re healthy, vocal, and slowly adjusting to human interaction. While still a bit shy when someone reaches into their cage, they’ve made great progress and just need a patient, loving person to continue their journey.

✨ Ideal for a calm household with bird experience or someone willing to work gently with them to build trust.

If you're interested in giving Tom and Jerry a safe, caring home, please contact [email protected]

Rehoming 3 Bonded Cockatiels – Loving Home Needed

We’re helping a valued client find a new, loving home for their three beautiful cockatiels: Sunny, Leemo, and Barfee. This decision comes with deep sadness, but after much thought, the family has realized they can no longer provide the time and attention the birds deserve due to demanding schedules.

These three are incredibly special and have been part of the same home for the last four years. Here’s a little more about them:

🟡 Leemo (yellow) and ⚪️ Barfee (white and grey) are a bonded pair and must stay together.

☀️ Sunny (nicknamed “the brother-in-law”) is part of the trio and equally loved – all three have been together since the beginning and cannot be separated.

They are free-flight birds – never caged – and sleep on a homemade play gym that’s simply covered at night.

The birds are affectionate, happy, and social. Leemo and Sunny love to sing, and all three enjoy interacting with humans and getting gentle head scratches.

Their personalities are bright and loving – they’ve brought so much joy to their current home.

The owners are seeking a very specific kind of home:

Someone who will continue to allow them freedom to fly indoors (no wing clipping),

A home where they will stay together,

And most importantly, a person or family who will cherish them just as much as they have.

To support a smooth transition, the birds will come with their cage, custom play gym, food, and toys.

If you believe you can provide a warm, forever home to Sunny, Leemo, and Barfee, please reach out via email at [email protected]. Serious and experienced inquiries only, please.

Let’s help these sweet birds find the continued love and freedom they deserve. 💛
