Today all the birds were on the tree, getting along as usual. The girls (Paris and North) will go near the boys (Ollie and Finley) here and there and the boys will warning nip at them. But they usually stay in their spots and hang out. Ofc I supervise them together on the tree the whole time they're there. Now and the Ollie will decide he wants to seek out one of the girls to bite them but he hasn't done it in a while and he usually just does a glancing blow off their beaks and doesn't contact their skin. Well today North fell off the tree and we have a latter for them to climb back up themselves and while North was going up the latter Ollie decided this was a prime opportunity to get a bite in and by the time he went for it and I saw what he was going to do it was too late. He nailed poor North in the foot. I didn't know that though so I took Ollie to his cage and scolded him telling him "no bite" and gave him a time out. When I got back to the tree there was blood everywhere... EVERYWHERE. I then proceeded to look for the sorce of the blood and I found it and stuffed her foot in the quick-stop jar and she stopped bleeding for the most part . Upon further inspection her toe didn't look right..it was like slightly to the side and I couldn't tell if it was just the cut or if it was slightly broken.
I decided to go to the Emergency vet that's like 10 mins away. They have a CAV on staff there 24 hours a day. After about an hour wait they told me that her toe had been crushed and needs to be amputated and I need to leave her there and she'll have to go under anesthesia for the operation.
Poor North...I feel bad for her. I guess this can happen when multiple birds are out together. My husband and I will have to figure something out so this doesn't happen again or to Paris. My poor baby!
Please keep her in your thoughts as she goes through surgery in the next couple of hours.
