Diggle broke a blood feather

[AkasyaEllric]

I haven't had this happen before so it was scary but @Mizzely helped me through it. I knew what to do but it was still nerve wracking. I got the base out within 5-10 minutes of him breaking the feather so I think he's fine. I still need to clean him up but I didn't want to stress him out more after all of this. I'll post thumbnails that way if someone doesn't want to see the pics it won't be so in your face. I only got them to send to @Mizzely as I was in panic mode.

 

[Mizzely]

Glad it all worked out You did better than I would have!

Good job. I hate doing them, even small ones.

When I pulled it I kind of felt sick to my stomach. Mostly because his screams were so upsetting. We do everything we can to not hurt them, and I know it was absolutely necessary, but hearing that and knowing I was doing it to him just sucked.

 

[Mizzely]

I could hear his little squawks, I felt so bad for him!

 

[Fergus Mom]

Good grief @AkasyaEllric and @Mizzely ... I'm SO glad Dig is okay, and that Mizzely knew just what to do. I can relate to the part about nearly being sick knowing you had to hurt him to help him! I'd be the same way, maybe worse, and good job on doing what you had to do in order for him to be okay!

He's so mad at me still. I got attacked when I gave him dinner, no blood from me though. I'm a little sad he's mad, but I also understand why he is. I would rather he be ok and mad than dead.

 

[Mizzely]

He'll come around

So glad he is ok. It's frightening for us. They are bleeding, we aren't sure from where. If they toweled and not use to that, they mad as all get out. Glad @Mizzely was there to help you.

Now you will be helpful to someone else with this issue. When it happened to a gray I had I panicked and was off to the animal ER. It is very scary and painful to the bird.

Make sure you are the treat giver for few days.

I'm glad you were able to get it out ok! I haven't dealt with any blood feathers yet, but I can only imagine how hard it is to deal with in the moment.

 

[Shezbug]

Well done, glad he is ok even if a little angry.

I ended up sucking up with some almond slivers, his favorite treats, but at least he isn't mad at my daughter so she can do the day to day stuff for now. She's actually his person so I would rather he be mad at me then her. Poor guy didn't realize it because he was toweled, but she's who held his wing up for me so I could get it. I'm super proud of her honestly. She's 9 so she can not listen sometimes but she did everything I said and held on perfectly for me to get it out. Digg is so confused though because he wants to be near me, but then bites the crap out of me. I think we will get past it, I got past it when we got him since he thought I was the devil then too.

It is scary the first time it happens. Good job staying calm, cool and collected. The first time it happened to us was with one of our macaws. I thought it was a murder scene from the showtime series DEXTER.

Liked it for the Dexter reference, that's one of my favorite shows ever! I'm just glad @Mizzely helped keep me calm enough to get the job done too.

As vividly graphic as that program was, we own all 8 seasons of it and have watched it a few times from beginning to end. We wish it had not ended. With all the reboots of old shows we are hoping that Dexter & Hannah resume where Dexter's adoptive father Harry left off and start training Harrison in the "ART" of eliminating "BAD" guys & gals. It's one our favorite shows as well.

Same, it's one of the few shows I watch over and over. Marvel comics did a crossover that I believe is suppose to be the continuation after the end of the series, but I would really like for the show to just come back and if they even need to, use the comics as a jumping off point.

We keep hoping a reboot to take place. They definitely left the door open with Harrison & Hanna having gotten away but also Dexter with some logging company. Best show ever........
