Certified Avian Vets

Find an ABVP Specialist - American Board of Veterinary Practitioners

Find a Specialist ABVP Diplomates have proven knowledge and expertise above and beyond what is required to practice veterinary medicine. Beyond that, they have earned the privilege to specialize in the treatment of one or more categories of animals. Diplomates are in 49 of the 50 US states...

abvp.com

If none are near you...
Avian Veterinarians

http://www.aav.org/search/custom.asp?id=1803

In my opinion, any of the vets listed here should be better than a regular vet.
International contacts, too.

If none are near you, maybe you could call and ask for a recommendation for somebody in your area.

And... sometimes, distant vets will offer brief thoughts or advice...

Or... sometimes I find a place to start just by Googling "avian veterinarian near ((your location))"

Or maybe a local breeder might help... again, maybe Google?

Good luck to you both!
