There is a minor risk of you having legal or other trouble from this. However, there is also a chance that you will get a straightforward answer.
2. Call the vet and ask if they will issue you a health certificate based on the bird's last visit. Not sure how well this will work.

First off I didn't say you were stupid. Suggesting illegal activity, now that was stupid. You can have stupid ideas without being stupid, there is a difference.
Calling customs anonymously? WTF is that all about? There is no crime involved with asking a question. Suggesting that it could risk legal trouble is stupid.
Now the biggie. Calling a vet and asking them to pre-date a health certificate on a bird they saw months ago. Why would you even suggest someone to ask a vet to do that? Think liability reasons here. I mean come on, you are suggesting the vet may forge a health certificate for the purposes of crossing an international border.
Sorry but thats illegal and just plain STUPID.
You should have followed your own advice regarding giving international advice in any manner.
