New tiel had to go to the ER vet.
but she is ok now. Here is the thread where I adopted the girls Other thread Last night, when I had Riley and Spanky for less that 36 hours, I decide to take them out of the cage for a bit. Well those plans got cut short. Riley's wings are clipped and Spanky's are not. Spanky flies past Riley and me sitting on my bed. Riley tries to fly and lands on the floor. Not a big fall. I've seen worse and the birds are fine. Well, Riley broke a blood feather and she was bleeding. My brother and I tried to stop the bleeding, but I realized it needed to be pulled and I don't know how to do it. We were at the ER avian vet within 20 minutes of the fall. So now Riley is home and she is fine. I really couldn't believe this though. In the 10 plus years I've had tiels I've never had to deal with dangerous blood feathers.
My boyfriend is adopting Clifford tonight and literally 30 minutes before this happen he asked me about blood feathers. I gave him all the info and then I told him that I've never had to deal with a bad one. LOL! I'm never talking about potential ailments with my pets again! :rolleyes:
