Advice on what to do on emergency situations?

Crazy4parrots · 7/26/17

ok so as many of you know my country is going through a warlike situation so today in my building there was security meeting where they said the next few days aré critical and we must be prepared with water, food, antibiotics..1st aid stuff... Í want to know what should i do to protect Baylee from:
Smoke
Lacrimogenes bomb (sp?)
Noise bombs
Fire
Gunshots (not the noise, i mean a wound) in Baylee it might kill her but i feel i need to be prepared! This people dont care if they hit an animal or a person... There was a dog called Cross that in order to make him shut up they shoot him a bullet that went into his eye socket and went out through the back of his head... Cross spent 6 days alive with an injury you would think will kill him inmediatly..he was euthanized after vet determined that he was brain dead.
God forbid such thing happen with Baylee... I want to take as much precautions as possible... I already have food, her water, her vitamines, her vetriDMG.

Get an escape kit together right now. Food for both you and Baylee. Water. Some extra clothes and shoes. Don't wait too long to leave.

Try to keep Baylee hidden in an inner room and be as quiet as a mouse yourself. Close all of the curtains so no one can see there is anyone there.

Don't you have a sister in FL? Is there any way that you and Baylee can get to her?

I wish you the very best Maria. Keep in touch as long as you can.

Find blood stop agents.

Flour, Corn starch, ( emergency only some sort of super glue )

Electrolytes
Do you have a small air purifier? I guess wet sheets could aid in smoke inhalation.
How do you prepare for everything?

all I can think of is a closely-woven fabric, like bedding sheets, that you could make wet. Would help with tear gas, smoke, heat.
yes and some type of coagulent.
Sincere best wishes to you. I've often thought of bird owners in countries where it is almost impossible for children and adults to survive.

Cash - get as much cash together as you can and keep it on your body. Cash is king in an emergency.

God Maria, I can only image how awful this must be. You have gotten really good advice, I will pray that things will be okay for, you your family, friends, and Baylee.

God bless. I would throw in one or two pillow cases just in case to carry some items in if needed. Flashlight, batteries and battery radio if you have one. Do you have canned food and can opener?

I'm not sure what you'll be carrying Baylee in, but if you run in a hurry a cage may not be easy to hide.

A pillowcase near her cage is something to think about, easy to hide and you can grab it (with her in it) and run. Or a small back or fanny pack you can wear yourself that you could hide her in.

Praying for you.

She have a small travel cage! 20x13x14 that i will keep it next to her cage from now on.

That is pretty big (if it's in inches) to run and hide with. Praying you never have to do that.

Perhaps you have a fanny pack? Something you can line with a cardboard box (so it's not crushable) that you can wear under a shirt?

Just a thought. Also, if you have a harness for her, take it too.

In my house I have pillow cases by my cages, I'll stuff my birds in them in case of fire emergency.

I have no advice to offer but wish you all the best. :sadhug:

I do have an harness for her but she hate it... She wont stop attacking it until i take it off of her!

lol Spicy little thing.

Take it anyway. If you leave in a hurry, and can't take the cage or have to leave it for some reason, at least you'll have a lifeline to put on her.

I have tried for an hour to leave her with it! And try to distract her with millet, seeds & fruits also water...but is a no go. :bash:

macawpower58 · 7/26/17

Don't worry about her wearing it right now.
If the time comes you actually need it, I'm guessing she'll be in such shock from what's happening around her, the harness will be the least of her worries.
It's also small and can fit in your pocket, so not much to lose by taking it, even if it's never used.
