Question
I went and checked the avin vet website and i can't find any avian vets in my area? I live in Ottawa Ontario.
Do you know any avain vets?
And who is the vet?

Answer
Hi, Mohamed.  

Which avian vet website did you check?  Some websites only list their members, i.e., those who pay dues to belong to that association.

I found the below information for Canada on a website:

Canada

Conestoga, Ontario - Robin Francis Lane - 519-249-2791
Le Gardeur, Quebec - Isabelle Langlois(Hopital Vet Venne Begin) - 450-585-1542
Montreal, QU - Corina A. Lupu
Nepean, Ontario - Robin Elizabeth Roscoe (Lynwood Animal Hosp) - 613-820-0443
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan - Colette Lorraine Wheler (Univ of Saskatchewan) - 306-966-4125
Toronto, Ontario - Petra Maria Burgmann (Animal Hosp of High Park) - 416-763-4200

What you need to search for is an exotic animal veterinarian.  This would be a vet who has specialized training in caring for reptiles, birds, etc., etc.  You might also try contacting some local parrot breeders for a reference to an avian vet or perhaps try breeders of reptiles, etc.  Also, a local pet shop who sells parrots might be able to provide a bird vet reference.

I'm sorry I can't help more.
