- Two cockatiels: Sharlett (Cinnamon Pied) and Data (White-Faced Pied)
Data and Sharlett were just out playing when they got spooked by something. Data partially did a back flip on my lap. I noticed a small amount of blood on his beak which seems to have come from one of his wing feathers. It's just a small spot on there and he is acting normally. I called the vet in our town but they do not know much about birds. Said that we should just wait and see. I think he may have hit a blood feather on his wing. Sharlett has done this before once and she was fine so I'm not too worried but I am thinking of calling their vet if my mom sees anything when she examines him. It is also entirely possible that I am bleeding and haven't found out where yet so I will update you guys as it goes along. He's eating and giving kisses as well as wanting to be petted on his head. He won't let me touch his wings but he just had his wings clipped last week so I don't blame him.
Edit: Data is in his cage resting. But he wants to come out and play again, which is typical Data behavior, lol. Gonna see how he is doing in a bit and then get him out again (with Sharlett too!)
Update: He only has tiny spots of blood on a couple of feathers. The bleeding seems to have stopped. He's acting normally and even biting me because he thought I was going to try and wash his beak off again which he hates. He was eager to get out as always so that's a good sign.
Second Update: Data may have just dinged the feathers. No active bleeding and the blood on his beak came from preening himself. I swear these two birds delight in scaring me half to death.
