Do you have an avian vet that you already have a relationship with and/or knows Sozzie (love that name):heart: that might be able to speak to you by phone?
No we do not. My husband is at home and tracking one down now. We live in Michigan and I hear in Ann Arbor there is a good one. Point of Reference hehe my 2 year old came up with his name....lol:heart:

Perhaps the breeder could help with a referral?

Here is a link to an avian vet look up where you can enter your state and such and see who's close to you:

That would not necessarily be an exclusive list, but those vets belonging to the organization. There may be other avian vets in your area or close enough for you to access. I would definitely try the breeder or others you know in the area who have big birds for their personal referrals. ;)

awwww thank you....yeah after my hubby talked to the vet, it's decided he must go in right away. We called the vet our dogs use, and though they don't work with birds anymore, they did say that pink nares are not a good thing, and they think he has an allergy :confused::confused::confused:

So now we're going to start calling the list.....I am so worried now :(

Lindsey, looking for an update after a vet appointment. Pink nares could mean just an irritation of the sinuses, a respiratory infection or other conditions. Best to have a full check up.

Thank you guys! Tonight he was really energetic and playing and vocalizing...nares are a little pink, still, I'll try and snap a picture or two, but I think he's ok. The humidifier/vaporizer is going and we steamed him too...tomorrow it's off to the vet! Wish us luck!! Night all!

I didn't know pink nares were something to be nervous about!! But thankfully he's in good spirits and eating etc so tomorrow we will see at the vet!
