grey in pain!!!


Teka

Recommended Posts

Hello, it looks like my grey broke or twisted a new flight feather and it really hurts when she moves her wing or if I try to touch it!

 

Should I try to cut most of the feather off?

 

It seems to be damaged close to the root because I cannot see anything but a twisted feather.

 

No vets within 6 hrs so I'm hoping I can help or someone has had a similar experience.

If it's bleeding, you'll likely need to pull it, especially if it hasn't stopped on it's own. If it's just a mature feather which has broken, I'd leave it be. Your grey will eventually take care of it.

 

I don't have a great 'pulling a blood feather' tutorial on hand, but managed to find this with a quick search on Google. Maybe someone here will know of one with better illustrations.

Thanks to all, Teka took care of the feather herself! I don't think it was a blood feather but I did see some dried blood where the feather broke.

It's amazing how they know what to do.

Glad its over, I feel so bad when things like this happen.
