For The Birds Avian Veterinary Hospital
Silicon Valley's Premier Avian Specialty Hospital - Expert Bird Care Since 1996
For The Birds Avian Veterinary Hospital is a full-service bird hospital specializing exclusively in avian veterinary medicine since 1996. We care for all birds small and large, from budgies and cockatiels to macaws and parrots, offering the best health care options for your feathered companions. Our experienced team of avian veterinarians, led by Dr. Fern Van Sant and Dr. Mary Siri, provides comprehensive services including wellness examinations, emergency care, X-rays, cultures, microchipping, surgery, and boarding. We offer same-day emergency appointments during regular business hours for acute care needs. In addition to medical services, we operate a bird store featuring Harrison's and Lafeber's bird food guaranteed fresh with full nutrients, as we don't warehouse large quantities. Our bird toys are personally approved by Dr. Van Sant, made exclusively with bird-safe materials, natural components, vegetable dyes, and bird-safe hardware. We are committed to providing the highest standard of avian veterinary care to the Silicon Valley community.

Dr. Van Sant is simply the best avian vet in the Bay Area! She saved my Amazon parrot's life and took the time to explain everything. The bird toys and food they sell are top quality. Highly recommend!

I drive from San Francisco to bring my cockatiel here because they truly specialize in birds. Dr. Siri is wonderful and the staff is so knowledgeable. Love that they have a bird store too!

For The Birds is the only place I trust with my African Grey. Dr. Van Sant's expertise is unmatched. They genuinely care about birds and it shows in everything they do.
