Below are links to sites that I have found regarding Avian Veterinarians. I highly recommend finding and knowing how to get to your local avian vet before you might actually need them in an emergency. Many local veterinarians are not accredited nor do they work often with birds, especially the larger Parrots. From my own experience, I have witnessed self proclaimed avian vets shy away from and drop Peaches, our Moluccan Cockatoo on the floor and wait for me to pick her up to hand to them. I don’t go back to those vets. I have tried a handful of avian vets in our area and no one compares to Dr. Kersting. He is the most calm, thorough, knowledgeable avian vet around. I drive 30-40 minutes to get to his clinic and every person who works there is helpful and happy.
Birds have little blood, so if yours begins to bleed apply Quick Stop powder (found at most pet stores and vet offices). You should always keep some on hand. As a second and third option, try flour or cornstarch. Apply light pressure and reapply. Call your vet and they will determine if your bird needs to be seen. Occasionally a new feather filled with blood, called a blood feather, will open but this is not usually an emergency like having a beak, or foot bleed. Still, check with your vet if you have any questions.
