Thought I'd share this helpful first aid video!

It's about the 'figure of 8' wing wrap.

A lot of us tend to go to pot during an emergency. I'm someone who can hold it together (until it's over, then you seem me in a crumpled heap, crying and shaking!). But I thought this is useful to know. :)

Wing Wrap Placement in Birds « LafeberVet.com

Here is the emergency medicine section for birds:
Birds « LafeberVet.com

Some of them are member protected (I think some of it is specifically for Veterinarians!) but some of them are open to all and they make for interesting/knowledgeable reads/watches!

I know a fair bit of this, but most is either a great reminder, or refresher, or completely new and good to know. Hope you find something useful :)

Thank you for posting this!
I am like you, good in an emergency but then have a myocardial infacrction!

Anyway, toweling has always been a problem. I can do the Goffins, they are easy. But an Amazon who hates having wings, back or belly touched? Not as easy!
