Dave007 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 The biggest yet most common problem that many people have is their bird bleeding from claws that have been cut too short or broken flight/tail feathers. This usually happens at home. It's a good idea to have blood clotters instantly available Quick Blood Stopper----flour---talcom powder plus Q-Tips. All of these items will eventually clot the areas where blood is coming from. Quick Blood Stopper is none toxic and is used for all types of animals--2 legged and 4 legged including reptiles. The way to use these items is to dampen a Q-Tip and then stick it in any of the items above until it's totally covered.The items that are used should be a little gloppy and muddy. Pressure should be used against the cut for abot 3 minutes. Then wound is checked and if bleeding hasn't stopped, the process should be done agin until no blood is leaking out. Concerning flight or tail feathers----even though the flow of blood can be temporarily stopped, many times most of those types of feathers start bleeding again and will have to be removed. Only someone skilled at removing these feathers should do it. Special techiques are used.

Greywings Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Cinnamon powder, flour or corn starch will all perform the same function in a non toxic manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
