I don't have many vets to pick from in my area (ok so there is one here and one about 4 hours away) so I guess even if I am being over charged there is not much I can do

What does your vet charge for a normal check up? What is done?

How much for nails/wings? Or do you just do them yourself?

Does your vet charge more if your bird is a bit harder to handle?

my vet charges 15.00 bucks for everything,wings,beak,and nails.She has an aide help her hold the big ones with a towel.No matter if its a conure or a cockatoo I pay 15

What does your vet charge for a normal check up? What is done?
$54. This usually includes a weigh in, check of the eyes, ears, nostrils, and check the breathing.

How much for nails/wings? Or do you just do them yourself?
I honestly don't know! I've never went to my vet to get those done... not only that but the local parrot store here will do those for free. I do my own birds nails and beaks when needed. With my mitred I use a dremel to keep his beak in shape (he's missing half of his lower jaw and has scissor beak).

Does your vet charge more if your bird is a bit harder to handle?
Again, I wouldn't know.

My vet charges $35 for all, nails, beak, wings, weigh in, ears, eyes, nostrils, breathing. Charges the same for Cockatoo as he does for the Sun Conure.

My vet charges $30 for an all inclusive birdie exam, no bloodwork, and $5 for wings, nails and beak. He doesn't charge anything extra for fussy birds. And if the bird does get bloodwork or a shot or anything then the exam fee of $30 goes down to $15

WolfCub what Vet do you go to? I live in Southeastern Part of Kentucky and can travel with my birds.
Thanks,
