And now for the serious answer...

Before I kidnapped an avian vet, I pretty much took what I spent per month on the bird(s) and doubled it. I put the half away into an emergency account and let it build up. At that point, I could afford the emergencies that popped up. Another thing I did was that whenever I bought a bird, or acquired one, I would take what that bird cost, or would have cost had I purchased it, and put that amount into the emergency account as well. Sometimes it would take a bit of time to do that, but I made sure to do it.
