!	Bird Talk magazine has lists of Avian vets in all areas of

!	it.

!	Other than that, you need not take her in unless she's sick.

	I don't reccomend waiting until any bird is visibly
	sick before you take it to the vet.  Learn how to recognize
	stool, mucous and plumage variations by asking your vet to 
	show you.
