Birds |
We
understand the special relationship that people have with their
pet birds, whether a budgerigar or a macaw. At
Radnor Veterinary Hospital, we strive to work with you and
your feathered companion to assure that you have a long,
happy, healthy relationship! |

| Our
practice owner, Dr. Len Donato, has had a strong interest in
treating birds since his first days in veterinary school.
During vet school, he was very active in U of Penn Vet's Wildlife
Service, and his interest in birds, wildlife and non-traditional pets has just grown stronger since.
Dr. Donato is an active member of the Association of Avian
Veterinarians and attends their conferences yearly to keep
current on the latest knowledge and techniques. He has
also lectured at several of the conferences. Dr. Donato has a lot of
experience with birds and he realizes that no mere mortal can
know everything there is to know. For this reason,
he doesn't hesitate to consult other veterinarians or to refer
cases that need advanced care or diagnostics to the Veterinary
Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. |
In addition to Dr. Donato,
our technicians also take an active
interest in caring for birds. Several members of our team have
their own birds and our staff has lots of experience handling
and caring for birds of all types. You can feel confident that
your bird is receiving high-quality care when you bring him/her to
Radnor Vet!
