What to do when my parrot has seizures and there's no avian vet?

Question

From Yesterday my parrot is getting some sort of seizure and it is not stopping. He screams loud in pain. We have contacted the vet doctors but nothing improvement is seen. Also there is no proper Avain Vet clinic here. My question is how to stop the attacks(just like seizures). Please help to save my bird's life. Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male | unneutered | 0.6 lbs

Sorry to hear about Chiku's situation. There are not too many actual avian clinics in the country, so sometimes you need to just find a veterinarian who feel generally comfortable working with them. Another option is to contact a veterinarian who spends a good deal of time working with farm birds like chickens, turkeys, and ducks. While these aren't the same as Parrots by any means, they have a much better grasp concerning their anatomy and physiology. If Chiku is truly having seizures on a semi regular basis, he may be suffering from a disorder like epilepsy. Just like dogs and cats, this condition can be treated medically with a daily dose of phenobarbital usually. It may not completely control the seizure activity, but it can drastically reduce the frequency and severity of them. I would look into finding a veterinarian like one I have described and see if they are willing to work with you in these regards. Hope this helps.
