Walking the driveway
Newest little tiel, Sawyer, became startled and flew, he doesn't fly as good as Boomer. He had/has a broken blood feather. I didn't realize this until I noticed a couple of drops of blood on the floor, I started looking for the source and found the blood feather in the bottom of the cage.
I woke up my husband, (he's on nights) to see if he could help me, we didn't think it was bleeding any more. So, when hubby was going back to bed, Sawyer didn't like it, I tried to distract him and he flew again, just to the floor, that's when it started bleeding again. Hubby got up again, we tried to towel him, just to see if all the feather was actually out, hubby thinks it is. Using a q-tip, I put some corn starch on it, I called the vet. They only told me to do what I already had done, except to hold him and see if there was any left in, to use tweezers. Hubby believes it is out and the vet said there was little they could do.
I'm watching him, right now he's not bleeding. He's chewing and playing, I made him some veggies and he ate them too.
I want to post a pick of the feather, tell me if it looks normal or whatever, please? This was a tail feather.
