injury

hello! So lately (since yesterday) I have noticed my 5 month old sun conure Skylar’s one foot is red. It looks kind of irritated but I don’t know. He spends a lot of time on the sides of his cage. I believe this is because he is a baby and doesn’t quite grip the perch well yet. Anyway I was...

Yesterday, I noticed strange behavior in my budgie, Skylar. When he would hop from perch to perch, it seemed he would struggle to keep his grip. He would flap with his wings frantically and try to grab the perch with his beak in order to fully land on the perch. He did this multiple times and I...

i feel absolutely terrible! My blue mutation red rump parrot named April has got a very badly broken leg. She's lives in my mixed aviary and I don't know when it happened. But today when I was cleaning and and feeding I noticed she was standing on 1 leg for ages which then made me panic as I...

I'm still a little shaken up, but basically what had happened a couple minuets ago was that I was sitting on the couch with my conure on my shoulder. He loves my mom, so when she walks down the stairs, he always goes to her. All of a sudden, the bird took off and my dog somehow managed to swipe...

Our 3 month old GCC, Sunflower, was startled by a loud sneeze and flew across the room into a sliding glass door. There was a loud thunk and then she u-turned and landed on the ground on the other side of the couch. She ended up about as far from the glass door as she started. We immediately...

Today, my mother's boyfriend found our sweet sun conure hung by one of his toys we bought him you can imagine the horror! He had managed to pierce himself with the medal part : ( it looks like the bottom hook but obviously not as thick) he must have grabbed his new toy and snuck it into his...

Hello, I have a 1.5 year old female umbrella cockatoo. We noticed a while ago that she had white growths on the tips of her toes, so we took her to the vet. We were worried it could be mites, herpes, bumblefoot, or a number of things. The doctor did not seem too concerned and he gave us an aloe...

So 3 days ago, one of my cockatiels rio jumped too early from my hand towards the window and came a little short. He hit the windowsill and fell really hard on the ground, he laid there for about a minute barely moving and though he had broken his neck but then he jumped back up and looked at me...

Guys please help! My 1 yr old lovebird slipped his leg inside of the electric fan. His leg is swelling and already turned into violet. Its really bad to look at and i think it's broken. :'( i just put some betadine on his wound. We don't have any avian vet here in my area. Im living in the...

:quaker:Hello all, I wish I had the pleasure to join this site under different circumstances. Today, my elder Quaker parrot, Mabel, flew into the window. She has always been a weak flier, due to having brain damage from her previous owner. She only just recently learned how to fully utilize...

Shared album - Hannah Barfield - Google Photos Shared album - Hannah Barfield - Google Photos Shared album - Hannah Barfield - Google Photos My 3 year old Male cockatiel, Alex, had an accident a few days ago with our male Pionus, Jack. The Pionus is very territorial, and although both of them...

So this knuckle-head we all call Chirp has hurt himself yet again! I'm not sure why or how, but he dropped his longest tail feather. I checked and sure enough, he was bleeding! I pulled out my first aid kit and clean the area with a wet cotton ball. Then INSTEAD of styptic powder (I've...

Hi all! So as some of you might know, Chirp has hurt himself twice in the span of the last week. One was a broken blood feather from flying into a recliner, and the other was a small cut and extensive bruising sustained on his chest. He's been stuck in his cage since we went to the emergency...

i have an 11 month old GC conure named Bruno that recently went through a traumatic even on Dec 24, 2016 (my dad was visiting and accidentally partially closed a Sliding glass door on him under my husbands faulty supervision-- I'm still very upset) anyway, took him to his avian vet and she said...

My bird was bleeding a lot an in stopping it he got covered in styptic liquid and cornstarch. How do I get the cornstarch off of him without submerging his foot that was injured?

Yoshi, my Indian Ringneck was attacked by our dog, a german shepherd/husky mix. Don't know how it happened since I was in the front yard. Went to the backyard and Yoshi was limping and covered in dirt. Brought her in to wash her up, and say that she had a puncture bite, close to her left wing...
