    David: go here http://www.abvp.com/diplomate and select 'avian' and then indicate your area to search for a board certified avian vet. If nothing turns up then go here http://www.aav.org/search/index.php to search for an AAV affiliated avian vet near you.

    Hi David... was this vet on the ABVP list or the AAV list?

    David, is that the one in the Allentown/bethlehem area? We used to have one in our area but he got sick and retired :-( so we have to travel to the vet now.

    That makes it pretty rough, David. You may want to make the 123 mile trip if Abe ever demonstrates signs of a serious medical complication. And it would be good to get him an initial checkup at some point as well. For urgent matters you'll likely have to rely upon small animal vets in your area. It might be a good idea for you to meet and contact other bird owners near you to learn who they are using for a bird vet. Check with bird rescue facilities and/or bird stores in your area for recommendations. Best of luck with all of that.

    This may go against the mainstream but I think there are many vets that are very good with birds that are not certified avian. I have gone to two of them and had no problems. You may want to check around with the other members from PA and ask around.

    OK I made some phone calls for you and found an animal hospital that has a vet who takes care of birds. His name is Dr. Gerstenfeld and here is the link http://www.chestnuthillvet.com/ Phone number is 215-836-2950. This should be much closer for you.
