Most pet birds are vaccinated as chicks and the majority of pet birds do not receive vaccines as adults. Vaccines will be recommend if there is a risk of exposure or travel to particular places. Birds will however benefit from a yearly exam just like dogs and cats: https://www.petcoach.co/article/the-importance-of-annual-wellness-exams-for-birds/ You will want to seek a veterinarian who specializes in birds and these can generally be found online or by calling your local pet clinic.
