Advice for first vet checkup? (No issues, routine checkup)

[Sniv]

Hi! I'm planning to get my lovebird in for a routine checkup for the first time, possibly in a couple months but sooner if im lucky- definitely a while overdue, unfortunately, he's a couple years old but because of circumstances (surprise/impulse adoption by a family member + me not being able to drive), things didn't work out that way. (In advance, yes, I'm aware of the importance of regular checkups- i would've sooner if I could have!)
He's flighted and not hand tame (although otherwise friendly), and as he was adopted from a pet store (again, family impulse buy), i don't know anything that would require knowing his lineage (genetic health problems? just. anything like that?) if that's important. I've also never had a bird before him- though I've had him for a few years. (I can do the math on his age if needed.)

All that considered, is there anything I should know in advance? Especially with him not being tame. I really do want the best for my little guy, but I've got no clue what to expect.
(Sidenote, apologies if all my parentheses make me sound defensive- I'm sure the people here are understanding, but I still couldn't help but worry that the situation would sound negligent without full context. I promise, Mango's happy and, hopefully, healthy, I just couldn't convince my parents to drive all the way out to the next town "just to be sure he's okay" until recently.

It is definitely hard when you are at the mercy of others to go anywhere! Congrats on being able to drive yourself now!
Have you found an avian vet?
I would expect any vet to ask about his diet, record his weight, do a visual exam, listen to his heart and lungs, and probably suggest doing some bloodwork to get a baseline.
Some vets will have you in the room, others will not. If you are having his nails groomed and they try to take him out of your sight be sure to specify you do not want his wings clipped. If it isn't an avian vet, you may get an unpleasant surprise.

Unfortunately, not able to drive myself, mom just finally takes preventative care seriously enough. Still a win, though.
I found an avian specific vet previously, but unfortunately from the reviews it looks... not great. Luckily in today's bout of research i found a more general vet that outright states they'll accept birds (rather than a more general "exotic pets"), and the bird-related review seem good, so it's hopefully the next best thing.
Thanks for warning me about surprise wing clipping- considering mango's enclosure setup, it'd be a disaster if his wings got clipped. (He's got an indoor aviary, but because of the way it's constructed, limiting his flight would make it seriously difficult to traverse.) Would never have guessed some vets would just... do that unprompted.
