There's something not right with 1 of my birds. He's barely chirping and when he does, he's quieter than normal, keeps slowly closing his eyes and occasionally walking from one end to the other a few times on his perch. The closest vet that i use that sees birds (1 hour and 20 minutes away) is now closed for 4 days. No other vet in my area will look at him and the emergency number to the vet I use, doesn't even take on birds. Will keep checking vets further away but probably none that will be open due to it being Christmas. Nothing I give him has changed so not sure whats wrong. I have a travel cage, should I put him in that even tho it might cause him more stress..?? He isn't tame and when he's been in it before, he just climbed around constantly. Only thing I can think of is there has been a bit of a drop in temperature and draught in their room due to crap windows and windy weather but it's the same every year so not sure if it could just be that..??

In my opinion, any of the vets listed here should be better than a regular vet.
International contacts, too.
