I understand that birds are animals that tend to hide signs of illness, and routine handling for a physical exam, wing trim, nail trim, or blood draw can be stressful enough to cause a bird to go into shock or die. I also understand that all precautions are taken to make sure this does not happen; nevertheless, I do not hold Hillside Pet Clinic, its doctors and staff responsible for such events during this procedure. This document is valid for the duration of care at Hillside Pet Clinic.
