I started a thread about a year ago but I never updated to show my final kit.
Tongue depressors for making a splint
Vet tape for holding a wing or bandage to body
Flashlight
Betadine
Bandage - non-stick gauze squares in different sizes
Bandage - gauze rolls I believe I bought 2 widths
A pair of scissors
Eye Saline - to use as sterile rinse
Paper tape - don't use on feathers
Zip ties
Tweezers (flat tip) not pointed or slanted as they can puncture a fid if they move quick
Oral syringes to have on hand for food or fluid w/ sick bird
Q-tips
Many people recommended a hand warmer but I haven't found any that didn't smell plastic'y when activated a heating pag or water bottle can work if you have power, the handwarmer is for no power & should be wrapped in towels (if I'm remembering correctly
I put a pillowcase in there to use as a wrap or in a fast dash as a knotted safety bag. (ours can be used as a go bag if needed)
I'm contimplating adding a towel too as they work better for Buddy to be wrapped up in. Something lightweight like a kitchen hand towel.
A hemostat to pull blood feathers out. I bought the type w a curved end. Here's a pic of a regular 1.

There are some pedialite recommendations but the best advice I got was a Non-flavored recipe from Shauna (Mizzley). I will look tomorrow & see if I can find it.
I started w/ corn starch to stop bleeding but placed it in my pantry & bought super clot from Walmart per a recommendation from another AA member. This also has disinfect properties (I believe) *if you choose quick stop it's for Nails Only & not safe to use on skin*
You may want to add in a bottle of water & ADR worth of pellets & maybe some dry sprouts or dry fruits & veggies that can be reconstituted w/ boiling water. I bought some sprouts that are made by TruRoots. Target carries them, & so does Wegmans Grocery & Amazon.

I bought a large 40 cup airtight snapware container to keep everything sealed. Problem was it was a giant piece of junk. Sterilite came out w/ some tote style ones that seem to be decent. I'm not sure about airtight handle carry types.
I may have forgotten some stuff but this list should take care of most emergencies. I'll check my box & look for that P.L. recipe tomorrow. I'm glad that your doing this proactively. I would never recommend avoiding vet care, if you can get to a Vet quick do so. But it always seems in my house the worst pet & family emergency happen on holidays & weekends. I'm spent (almost 1:30 AM) so if something I wrote doesn't makes sense, please ask, it's important to know why you need the items & also how to use them.

I didn't include their 1st aid kit list because there are a ton of unessary or complicated items on it. Maybe others can post any that I may have missed.
Gloves & plastic baggies can come in handy too.
