a big welcome to you rikki and chaco;)hope to read more about you both love trish and babygirl from the uk:side:

after i took her to quiet room i managed to towel her but then had the prob of trying to keep her calm whilst holding her head and trying to look at her wing(im sure youve all been therw at one time:laugh:)well !!the quick glimpse that i got showed no bleeding and as she was fighting with me i just let her be.Idid play peek-a-boo on the bed with her for 10mins just to prove to her that towelling can be fun and she tolerated this though very warily.Back on her cage shes chatting away oblivious to the fact that her mom was in panic mode.As for the feather! i think i will let the vet take a look. Thanks again makena for responding so quickly;)

Panic over!!! this bird is going to be the death of me:laugh: after following makenas cornstarch advice;) i made the mistake of putting babygirl back in her cage whilst i read wot to do next the thought of having to pull feather made me feel:ohmy:sick(wot if i caused more probs)well anyway i needed to have a look at her but couldnt get her out of cage she wouldnt let me (previous post babygirl explains our declining realasionship)i had to leave room while my hubby coaxed her out with cup of tea and remote control:laugh: she was growling at me as i held her up to check but i couldnt see the injured feather? i thought she had pulled it out herself so we searched to find it:laugh:we couldnt find it,puzzled,i asked her to fly as she lifted her wings i could see the injured feather it was tucked under her it must have been sore as she didnt flap her wings,i knew id have to towel her to have a look but she freaks and as a novice owner i think im hurting her when she screams and obviously from past experiences she assosiates towelling with bad things:pinch:

need advice on feathers babygirl has just hurt herself trying to fly the feather is hanging and bleeding not alot but what do i do? can someone also direct me to a site where i can learn about this subject so im not in this situation again

baby girl LOVES pomegranates,the firt time i gave her one she made a right mess and i ended up having to repaint beige wall several times as there were splatters everwhere.can you give them the flesh? i spent ages separating them

thanks joe im still trying to find my way around it doesnt help that im new to computers but i daresay that i will get the hang of it soon????

wow joe your birds seem to be really enjoying themselves,will it fit in the bath tub? as england is known for its crap weather an indoor shower stand would be used more often:)

What should i be feeding my bird ,how much and how often also what do you give for rewards for good behaviour?

Thanx so much for that link my vet didnt express that it was so contagious i think i need to get myself a vet that deals only with birds,but thankfully babygirl is her happy self giving her dad kisses,chatting and being charming to the boys,and taking her aggresion out on her mom just because shes the one who sees to her well-being.i think she is trying to be boss but my shoes are too big for her:laugh:

Thank you all for your warm welcome im sure babygirl and me are going to enjoy sharing our tales with such a lovely group.Babygirl was hand reared and i have had her from 6months,i soon got her(hasnt been sexed but to me shes a girl)stepping up and playing with the towel,good job i did because after a visit to the vet for a check up i decided to have her wings clipped(i know that there are people for and against this) a couple of wks later babygirl got spooked and flew off her cage and landed with a thump:S and cut her chest i towelled her and cleaned wound and kept an eye on it but i couldnt get it to heal properley and if she flapped her wings or fell of her perch it would open up again.Avisit to the vet and he said she had a feather cyst,so she was operated on and came home same day with 5 stitches,a victorian collar and anti-biotics she really freaked having collar on so i removed it and made sure she didnt touch her wound.Giving her med was not fun but i towelled her,turned her on her back held her head and after a fight gave it her but sadly she seemed to always have mishaps and the wound kept splitting open she had further surgery but it didnt seem to be healing and the skin was really stretched and weak(16wkshad now passed)i went to a diff vet who operated and thankfully seemed to sort her out,it still took a few months to heal and im extreemenly wary when she has a mishap.She had been off the meds for approx 3 months when she fell in her cage and seemed not to not put weight on left leg,i thought pehaps she had sprained it(she was using it to scratch)but when i noticed she wasnt being her normally chatty self and she was staying in one place i decided she needed to see the vet but getting her out the cage was a nightmare she wouldnt step-up even when i tried with stick she went mad eventually i had to get her with the towel.the vet gave her anti-inflamatry but 2 days later she was still not herself so i took her back again ,after xrays and blood tests she was diognoseMd with chlymidia (where do they get this from?)LV TRISH
