Goffin Too, U2, Scarlet Mac, B&G Mac, DYH Zon, CAG and a
Birdbrained Wife!
This morning poor silus looked like he was the victim of an ax murder scene in a horror movie.
His tail was stained with dryed blood and there was a nice gob of dried blood at the end of a new tail pin feather. He was no longer bleeding but in his activity I knew it would start again.
I checked the forum and found a thread on pulling the feather. I read it and reread it, then armed with some pliers and corn starch, set to the task!
I put Silus on the floor and kinda toweled him. He thought it was great fun playing hide and seek! I grabbed the offending feather and gently pulled it. To Silus, this was a non-event. He didn't react at all, just kept playing. I put some corn starch on the spot the feather came out of and that was that.
If it wasn't for the instructions on here and especially by MikeyTN, TreeBee would have made me do an Emergency Vet run this morning.
Thank you all !!!! And Silus says thank you too!
Now to get the bird back to white...
