Britannia Animal Hospital
Our go-to avian vet in the GTA. Bird Sitting Toronto has trusted Britannia Animal Hospital with our own birds and our clients’ birds for years. Their team is knowledgeable, gentle, and genuinely experienced with exotic birds.
Why BST Recommends Britannia
Unlike many general-practice vets, Britannia’s team has hands-on experience with a wide range of bird species — from budgies and cockatiels to macaws and African greys.
Their approach to handling and examining birds minimizes stress. They understand that birds are prey animals and adjust their techniques accordingly.
Annual checkups include weight monitoring, beak and nail assessments, dietary advice, and diagnostic testing when needed.
When our birds have had urgent health issues, Britannia has accommodated same-day or emergency visits. That responsiveness matters when your bird is sick.
