Rosie flew over to me when I was wrapping a birthday present and got a huge piece of tape stuck to the feathers around her face. I tried to get it, but it's really stuck on there good... If I pulled, it would probably rip feathers out. What should I do? O____O

Could you spray it with a bit of water, like give her a good shower to ruin the adhesive?

Edit: posted at the same time :lol:


Failing that, a bit of a safe powder, like dried fruit or something, to clog up the adhesive

I had that happen to Bella too. At the time, she practically had a phobia of water, sk we ended up having to trim the tips of her feathers off. It was a really huge piece of tape compared to her.

Hope you can get it off!!! :hug8:

Sorry Rosie, but I had a little giggle when I saw the pics (I was going "oh no" up till then) You just look so darn cute with your bow tie tape.

Glad it all worked out :) But, I'm impressed you can wrap presents without the birds tearing up all the wrapping paper!

They can get themselves into some scrapes, can't they? If trouble doesn't find them, they're sure to find IT! :rolleyes: Glad it was fixed so easily! :hug8:
