Although psittacine species represent the majority of avian patients seen in most exotic animal practices, nonpsittacine species such as passerines and galliformes may be presented as pets, as members of zoo collections, or as injured or ill wildlife. Many features of handling, restraint, sample collection, medicine, and surgery are similar in psittacine and nonpsittacine species. In many cases, the equipment required will be similar as well, with a few modifications.
虽然鹦鹉种类在大多数异宠医疗实践中占禽类病患的大多数，但雀形目和鸡形目等非鹦鹉种类可能作为宠物、动物园馆藏动物，或作为受伤或患病的野生动物前来就诊。鹦鹉和非鹦鹉种类在处理、保定、样本采集、药物治疗和手术等许多方面都很相似。在许多情况下，所需设备也相似，只是有一些改动。
