What to do if your
little pride and joy comes up sick? Try feeding spray
millet, keep it under a heating lamp, humidify the room,
isolate it from your other bird(s), and call a vet.
VET...who? What phone number? Where? Which one is best?
Those are all questions that come with the word "vet." The
most frequently recommended vet in the Phoenix, Mesa,
Gilbert, etc. area is Dr. Burke. He is the one I have always
used for my birds.

Another good resource to
keep in mind is the
Association of Avian Veterinarians (AAV). They
maintain a list of veterinarians qualified to care for
companion birds, and offer a handy vet locator to help
you find a vet near you.
A quick hospital cage for
the pet owner who needs to jimmy rig something.

There is an
African Grey in this "hospital cage" which comes
complete with oxygen feeding in, heat by way of
a heating pad, humidity, and a computer fan to
keep it from getting too humid. A thermometer
tracks temperature and humidity. The CAG is
sitting on a perch that is screwed into the
sides. |
