Disclaimer: All of the vets listed either have ABVP after their names or belong to a group that serves avian and exotic animals. we do not know all of them, so we cannot recommend any except for those with an asterisk. We suggest you go into the AAV website yourself, click on “Find a Vet,” put in your state, and look at all the vets in the state. Contact vet for more information, and look them up on their internet websites to see if they treat birds, how experienced they are, etc. Just because a vet is not listed does not mean he or she isn’t a good avian vet.
