I don't want to sound rude, but I agree with the others.My normal vet is 10 minutes away but only open certain hours. I have an avian ER vet an hour and a half away, and I've made that run numerous times at crazy hours; 8pm, 11pm, 3am. But I know that when I took on the responsibility of a bird, I also took on the responsibility of making sure he gets the help he needs. I'm not gonna say I've never had accidents with my bird, because that would be a lie. When my bird flew into a wall and sustained a cut and major brusing, I called every vet in the area, and got the number for the ER vet and rushed him there. Sure, it cost me 115 dollars, but it's better that than dead. And it was my fault, I'm the one who let him on my shoulder and took him into an unfamiliar part of the house. I felt bad about it, but I accepted the responsibility.
We don't pick up on how birds are doing, it's in their instinct to hide it from the big scary predators, such as humans. Your bird could be in excruciating pain, yet you might never know. And you should be ready with a cage at all times. I have a small cage with one rope perch by the door, so I can get the bird in, put in his food/water, cover him, and go to wherever it is he needs to be. It is my responsibility as a parront, and if I can't do it, I shouldn't have a bird. Simple as that.
