Welcome to the forum, Boca and B&G. I would not worry about it. For one thing, if the bird chew on the plastic syringe, most of the insulin would have dripped out as he made holes in it but, even if a small amount of it got swallowed, it won't have that much effect on him. Birds have glucose levels three times higher than mammals and, although they can get diabetes, the treatment is not insulin as their high sugar levels are caused by low insulin production but by high glucagon production. Just watch him and give him a lot of wet food with high sugar content like oranges, pomegranates, mangoes, cherries, etc. The high sugar will 'use up' the insulin.
