Wow, that had to be terrifying! I'll bet you were as traumatized as Syd wasI had a terrifying afternoon a month or so ago when Syd got into an argument with a reel of cotton that I had stupidly left around. Somehow he got it around his one wing and tail feathers and I knew nothing until he suddenly took to the air obviously in a panic.
When I got to him he was dangling head down held by the thread from the side of his cage and he tore me to shreds as I made vain efforts to get hold of him and disentangle him. I could see feathers breaking everywhere as he fought me off and the result was that he dropped to the floor. He lost about 5 tail feathers and a couple of wing ones and was very traumatised for most of the afternoon. I'm not sure I breathed much for a few hours.
Fortunately he is back to his normal self and with renewed feathers and seems none the worse, but it was a very rapid learning curve for yours truly. Another mistake that I won't repeat.
