I would add even more stars for this review. I believe Dr. Anne and her staff to be the best, most supportive, most caring and compassionate, of any avian veterinarian service in Vancouver. They have cared for my two birds for years. They have always been available to me when I've had emergencies. One of my birds faced death twice and Dr. Anne pulled him through. I have been able to leave them in their care while being out of town. Yesterday I had to say goodbye to my companion of 23 years. While it was probably the most difficult decision of my life, I was able to do it because I truly felt they had done everything they could possibly do. Dr. Anne gave me options and she was there for me, and for him, 100%. She really cares. Her staff really care. I recommend this hospital for any of your feathered companion's needs. They will get the absolute best care here. And at very reasonable rates. After I've had some time to grieve my Scotty, I will come back and be more articulate about my thoughts on Dr. Anne and her staff. I would like to thank her and her team, especially Claire.

This place looked after my families love bird in his last days. Everyone here is so caring and attentive to the birds, I can see they have passion for their careers. Our bird passed while in their care, and they assured us that he did not die alone and that there was a night carer that was with him. After paying the bill I was shocked at how reasonable it was, this place is a special spot. We donated our birds items to them later as they care for many birds that need homes. Dr MacDonald truly cares for your pets just as you would want someone to, with so much love. When we came to pick up our pretty bird, they had wrapped him in tissue and surrounded him with fresh flowers. They gave us all the time we needed to hear how he passed, see him and gather ourselves before paying and leaving. So compassionate.

Our parrot has been seeing doctor McDonald for almost 10 years now. How fortunate we are to have a vet specializes in bird right around our house! In short, doctor McDonald is incredible and she really cares. Our pet bird was vomiting one time, and thank god dr McDonald was here! Google the recent event of her giving care and shelter to over 500+ birds from a rescue operation. Also, the cost of receiving care from night owl hospital is incredibly reasonable- consider that she is one of the only few bird specialist in Vancouver.

Having taken my birds to Night Owl for many years now, I have witnessed first hand the hours of overtime they put in, the abundance of love and care they provide to all the birds in their care and their endless dedication to not only their patients but the avian community as a whole.

Night Owl: The inverted moral world of the psychologically maladapted. I accompanied a friend who was dropping off her ill bird, and while she was at the reception desk filling out some paper work, I decided to idle away a moment or two admiring the incredibly exotic birds that were on display in cages in the reception room.I was admiring the birds, viz. being respectful of the environment, and not being a nuisance.Enthralled by one bird in particular, I produced my camera, and in an instant, heavy footfalls heralded the approach of the hospital's slattern. She stands at the doorway with her hands on her hips, surveys the offense that has occurred, inserts a five-second longueur to build the tension and emphasize her displeasure. "Don't photograph the birds; we are protecting our client's confidentiality!" Crestfallen by this injunction spilling from her lips with all the mercy of a swarm of hornets, I pursue the matter further, and am informed that the birds are being accommodated/boarded in the hospital's reception area while the bird's owners are away. Bear in mind that there are no notices stating that the birds are not to be disturbed by photographers, and the reception area is so tiny that simply making one's way around these massive cages is a bit of a struggle. I'm as acidic as they come, and don't suffer fools gladly, so I was happy to spill some venom regarding the slattern's less than cordial announcement. The old termagant behind the reception desk (as warm a person as Nurse Diesel, or Nurse Ratched) repeats the slattern's announcement, and one could be forgiven for thinking that one had inadvertently fallen into a North Korean prison camp such was the brusqueness of the staff. If this is how the staff deals with an innocuous scenario, I question their competence to deal with weightier matters...like tending to their ill charges.In short, they treated a potential customer/stranger as a tried and convicted bird thief. Utterly repellent attitude, and it is no wonder that my friend's bird has not recovered from its illness after the experiencing the tender mercies of the Night Owl Bird Hospital.

Like all Vet clinics - you have to take your pet down there - no info given over the phone (vets know you're not going to cart your hurt pet all over the lower mainland for price/diagnosis options - you're going to go and get treatment on the spot to save your pet suffering - they have you at their mercy, playing on your emotions). After an emergency, I got there before opening time and though staff were present, I was not allowed to enter and was sent to the other clinic blocks away to wait (total Hell! Was unsure if i'd be billed for this place, there was an animal dying in a side room with the owner crying in another room! On top of that, there was a staff member's cat running around loose! Me and my bird soon left). Once back at Night Owl, which was then open, there was still a wait (for staff to get their act together - when I complained, counter staff were "curt" to say the least - i was not impressed). Vet wouldn't X-Ray my bird but he had to stay for 3 days "for observation". Upon return, I reviewed the bill and questioned the fees breakdown: staff are there 24 hours but no one answered the phone when I called after closing (still had to pay the "nursing fee"). So three days and $400.00 later I took him home - after no actual treatment. Had to pay for the examination, cage set-up (they put him in a small terarium), hospital fee, and the nurse fee When I balked at the price to Dr. MacDonald, (I'm a low income person) she actually chastised me! If you chose to use their services - be sure to have deep pockets, because it'll cost you - and don't dare to complain or question staff there. I had to take my bird in to be sure he was going to be OK, but left feeling like i was taken advantage of.

I just dropped by the Night Owl Bird Hospital today to book an appointment to get a band removal for our bird. The receptionist (the older lady) was very rude and gave us attitude. She asked us to fill out a form to the best of our ability which we did but we didn't know how old the bird was so she gave us the "roll-my-eyes" attitude. She was very snappy and impatient despite the fact that we remained calm. Leaving the hospital, I felt disrespected and angered about the way that we were treated. She clearly has no respect for people, I question how she will treat the birds. I am hoping that I will have a better experience with the veterinarians when I go back for the appointment.

I wish I had discovered this vet sooner, instead of subjecting my little pal to vets without specialized avian knowledge.Dr. MacDonald and staff are fantastic. Compassionate, personable, thorough, and with a genuine soft spot for birds. The cost is comparable to all vets. There's the initial exam (I think it was between $35 and $50), and follow-up appointments are on a sliding scale (plus any medicines or tests needed). Unfortunately I was there at least once a week for several months as we tried to help my bird recover from multiple health issues, but the quality of care was worth every penny. They also cut me many little breaks and waived some fees, etc. Nothing ostentatious, just little much-appreciated deals here and there. I felt like they were there to help me, not get every last coin out of my pocket.They also board birds if you have to go away, I think I paid $20 a day for this service - incidentally my first separation in 10 years from my pet, but I was OK with it because the staff is terrific and I knew she was in good hands. Playtime and treats and a quiet place to sleep (and a warm bean bag), plus someone on staff is always on-site 24 hours a day.

Dr.M and all her staff at Night Owl are simply amazing. Having taken my birds to Night Owl for many years now, I have witnessed first hand the hours of overtime they put in, the abundance of love and care they provide to all the birds in their care and their endless dedication to not only their patients but the avian community as a whole. Their doors have been opened to me after hours, emergency appointments made to happen with a moments notice and many a late night phone call to ease my mind. They go above and beyond.

Night Owl: The inverted moral world of the psychologically maladapted. I accompanied a friend who was dropping off her ill bird, and while she was at the reception desk filling out some paper work, I decided to idle away a moment or two admiring the incredibly exotic birds that were on display in cages in the reception room.I was admiring the birds, viz. being respectful of the environment, and not being a nuisance.Enthralled by one bird in particular, I produced my camera, and in an instant, heavy footfalls heralded the approach of the hospital's slattern. She stands at the doorway with her hands on her hips, surveys the offense that has occurred, inserts a five-second longueur to build the tension and emphasize her displeasure. "Don't photograph the birds; we are protecting our client's confidentiality!" Crestfallen by this injunction spilling from her lips with all the mercy of a swarm of hornets, I pursue the matter further, and am informed that the birds are being accommodated/boarded in the hospital's reception area while the bird's owners are away. Bear in mind that there are no notices stating that the birds are not to be disturbed by photographers, and the reception area is so tiny that simply making one's way around these massive cages is a bit of a struggle. I'm as acidic as they come, and don't suffer fools gladly, so I was happy to spill some venom regarding the slattern's less than cordial announcement. The old termagant behind the reception desk (as warm a person as Nurse Diesel, or Nurse Ratched) repeats the slattern's announcement, and one could be forgiven for thinking that one had inadvertently fallen into a North Korean prison camp such was the brusqueness of the staff. If this is how the staff deals with an innocuous scenario, I question their competence to deal with weightier matters...like tending to their ill charges.In short, they treated a potential customer/stranger as a tried and convicted bird thief. Utterly repellent attitude, and it is no wonder that my friend's bird has not recovered from its illness after the experiencing the tender mercies of the Night Owl Bird Hospital.

Awhile back, my little Lovebird was egg bound, I was sent to this hospital from another vet. The short version, my little buddy didn't make it, however, this place, the vet, the whole messy experience, I loved that they took the time to talk to me,to show Mickey so much compassion. I would recommend them in a heartbeat!! We miss Mickey, but, her mate keeps me company everyday.

Like all Vet clinics - you have to take your pet down there - no info given over the phone (vets know you're not going to cart your hurt pet all over the lower mainland for price/diagnosis options - you're going to go and get treatment on the spot to save your pet suffering - they have you at their mercy, playing on your emotions). After an emergency, I got there before opening time and though staff were present, I was not allowed to enter and was sent to the other clinic blocks away to wait (total Hell! Was unsure if i'd be billed for this place, there was an animal dying in a side room with the owner crying in another room! On top of that, there was a staff member's cat running around loose! Me and my bird soon left). Once back at Night Owl, which was then open, there was still a wait (for staff to get their act together - when I complained, counter staff were "curt" to say the least - i was not impressed). Vet wouldn't X-Ray my bird but he had to stay for 3 days "for observation". Upon return, I reviewed the bill and questioned the fees breakdown: staff are there 24 hours but no one answered the phone when I called after closing (still had to pay the "nursing fee"). So three days and $400.00 later I took him home - after no actual treatment. Had to pay for the examination, cage set-up (they put him in a small terarium), hospital fee, and the nurse fee When I balked at the price to Dr. MacDonald, (I'm a low income person) she actually chastised me! If you chose to use their services - be sure to have deep pockets, because it'll cost you - and don't dare to complain or question staff there. I had to take my bird in to be sure he was going to be OK, but left feeling like i was taken advantage of.

I just dropped by the Night Owl Bird Hospital today to book an appointment to get a band removal for our bird. The receptionist (the older lady) was very rude and gave us attitude. She asked us to fill out a form to the best of our ability which we did but we didn't know how old the bird was so she gave us the "roll-my-eyes" attitude. She was very snappy and impatient despite the fact that we remained calm. Leaving the hospital, I felt disrespected and angered about the way that we were treated. She clearly has no respect for people, I question how she will treat the birds. I am hoping that I will have a better experience with the veterinarians when I go back for the appointment.

I wish I had discovered this vet sooner, instead of subjecting my little pal to vets without specialized avian knowledge.Dr. MacDonald and staff are fantastic. Compassionate, personable, thorough, and with a genuine soft spot for birds. The cost is comparable to all vets. There's the initial exam (I think it was between $35 and $50), and follow-up appointments are on a sliding scale (plus any medicines or tests needed). Unfortunately I was there at least once a week for several months as we tried to help my bird recover from multiple health issues, but the quality of care was worth every penny. They also cut me many little breaks and waived some fees, etc. Nothing ostentatious, just little much-appreciated deals here and there. I felt like they were there to help me, not get every last coin out of my pocket.They also board birds if you have to go away, I think I paid $20 a day for this service - incidentally my first separation in 10 years from my pet, but I was OK with it because the staff is terrific and I knew she was in good hands. Playtime and treats and a quiet place to sleep (and a warm bean bag), plus someone on staff is always on-site 24 hours a day.
