Hi guys, the vet rang yesterday with Dudettes blood results, he said she was a little dehydrated but he isn’t worried about that. He said her liver enzymes were slightly raised and he has given me some “TVC liveraid” solution which I have to give twice daily and some tiny “baytril” tablets which...

*Update on Dudette for those interested* I took her back to the vet Monday to have bloods taken. Her feathers are still coming out in clumps (or being pulled?) and on the way there she must have caught a blood feather so the vet dealt with that too while she was out and also microchipped her. I...

Back from the vet, he gave lucky a good look over and couldn’t find a blood feather or any clotting so he was a bit stumped, I showed him the pics and he said it definitely looks like a blood feather maybe one had snapped slightly but is now ok. He did find a small split in his foot too but...

I’ve been looking at bird sites and pics and they say to leave it if it’s stopped bleeding and don’t touch it as it’s painful to pull it. I’m not going to touch him, I feel too inexperienced,I will watch him overnight and get him to vet in morning. I need to work on taming him more and being...

If it was a broken feather, wouldn’t it be in the cage? The other bit? There’s no feathers etc loose anywhere in cage

Tbh it’s towelling him that will be the worst bit, where do I grab him? Back of neck/ back? I’m trying to google it

They’re my vet too but they’re closed now obviously, I was there yesterday with my birds. They both saw Mark. How would I even grab him and pull his wing out to check, my dad can’t help because lucky hates men.

I wouldn’t even know what to look for or how to look. I know I sound pathetic but I’m not worried about me getting bitten. I just don’t want to hurt him further or stress him out. I will sit up all night checking on him and get him to vet in morning.

I don’t want to stress him out by trying to towel him, I’ve been looking and can’t see any visible wounds. I towelled him yesterday to go to the vet and he bit me, he’s not a very tame bird to handle. It’s been over an hour and a half and no blood. it’s past their bed time so I’m going to put...

he was flapping his wings because my dad came to help me find where the blood was coming from so yes it’s up the walls

he does keep lifting his wing so I’m thinking it’s a blood feather. typically I took him to the vet yesterday and the vet said he’s in fab condition... think he jinxed me

There’s no feathers anywhere, the bleeding has stopped but I’m sitting with him, he’s eating some food. He does fall to bottom of the cage a lot as he has a deformed foot (crossed toes) so he may have hit it on way down?, the bleeding has stopped thank god it was bleeding for max 2 minutes I...

Hi guys, im panicking... just came in to find blood all in cage and on his feathers... what do I do? it’s not dripping anymore I think it’s stopped arrrggghhh

UPDATE.. We took both birds to the Avian Vet yesterday. Lucky is in good condition and the vet said he just trimmed his beak and nails slightly, so that’s good. Dudey he said had really poor feather condition and they were just falling out and shes also plucking them. I explained I had been on...

Hey guys, update for you... Dudey and lucky are liking most of the fresh food I’m giving them. Dudey is also liking the Harrison’s fine so hopefully I can get her off the pets@home parrot seed mix soon. I’m waiting for some coarse Harrison’s to arrive for Lucky so for now he’s still having a...

Sorry for your loss of jelly bean and sad for her mate kiwi xx

Hi guys, I find I’ve bought fresh veg/ fruit etc to try the birds on but it’s spoiling pretty quick once ive used it... now before I buy additional flock members to help eat it all 😉😂 I was thinking... if I was to prep the bits, like chop, grate etc and then bag it, would it be ok to freeze it...

Thanks guys, well they loved those ones I spouted, so next question where do you get them from pet shop or online?

They didn't work!

Mine are currently trying their first sprouts! Let's hope they like them! Thanks to @plumsmum for some sprouting mix xx
