3 lovebirds (Max, Zloba & Zora)
(Pika, lovebird, RIP 11/2017) & 2 budgies (Picek & Njofra)
Hey guys, it's me again with a question for my lovebird who is in distress.
I want to know what is the best way to clean off / wash blood from feathers? Or is she going to do it herself when she gets back to being a bit stronger?
We tried water but it doesn't do it as some of the blood is dried, are there any natural things we can add in the water that would help with cleaning it off?
---
Regarding her condition we are still putting propolis (as the vet said) on the wound and it looks okay, she's not picking at it as long as we do it twice a day (otherwise she goes for it at night or in the afternoon when there's no one home). Her left side looks bad and featherless and looks greasy from propolis but I'd rather have her look greasy than with fresh blood, so...
Anyhow, thanks for the help and the tips! I hope there's a way to clean her off as I know she would feel much better! She's not allowed to bathe on her own because extra moisture on the wound is not really something we want, but if we clean her by ourselves we would dry her off as well.
