yikes! Pepper bit my mom's bird's tongue...

[Brittany]

pooooooooor thing she had to get two shots , one for infection and one for the pain. she was bleeding a lot but is OK.

 

they were locking beaks and playing. needless to say, we always keep them pretty distant but today they got too close

[Luvparrots]

Oh so sorry.

 

After I told the local pet shop owner that my male eclectus was hormonal she told me about her macaw that bite the beak off a friend's quaker and strongly warned me that I should keep a close eye on the eclectus and my grey. Which, of course, I always do.

 

I'm so glad your mother's bird will be fine.

[Brittany]

OK ..

 

Soooo my mom said she hopes that some of the tongue isnt missing [it may be a little bit] and if its bruised or hurt obviously. How long is it normal for them to probably not eat? My mom said the bird is having a hard time eating and isn't eating much [well I wouldnt either if I got bit in the tongue!]

i have no idea...but i hope everything turns out ok.

[Brittany]

She is FINE thankfully.

 

That'll NEVER happen again.
