"Hi my name is Sarah and I’m coming to you from Petland in Pinborough Pines, Florida today and on behalf of expertvillage.com, I am going to speak with you today about how to buy a pet bird. Something else to consider when thinking about how much it costs to take care of a bird, is medical care. You must understand that while you may have only paid $10 to $20 for your love bird or cockatoos that the veterinary care for these animals is much similar to that of cats or dogs. You should understand that the equipment that is used to work on birds is very specialized and therefore, can be expensive. You should also understand that most veterinarians that work on birds have spent a considerable amount of extra training after graduating vet school to qualify them to work on birds. That training costs money so you need to understand that your birds medical bills will not be any less expensive than that of a dog or cat. If you would like more information on the animal hospital that I work at, you can visit our website at www.extracareanimalhospital.net.
