Depending on what you need to do at the vets. An avian vet
check up is abotu $80-150 depending on where you live. Plus
like wing/nail/beak trimmings ($20-100, or free from your
vet, some may charge) or blood tests($100-200+), or a fecal
($80-120), and if they need hospitalization or any other
things done. These prices may be WAY off(below or higher
than usual), or just right. So yearly you could be spending
anything from $300-$1000+ depending on the cause. I say
every 6 months - 1 yr check ups are good :) Once a year you
should have your bird checked up and every few years have a
fecal and blood tests done. But if you suspect your bird
needs to see a vet, AVIAN vet then go ASAP!
