Has this ever happened read this little story2007-11-24 17:20:18

Its true, Has this ever happened??

WHen I went to feed my pareeket the cage was full with blood.

I looked at her legs, they were full with blood, I dont think the other parakeet beat her up, so I figrued It was that she had long nails and maybe got stuck on the wires the cage has and she pulled to get of and got injured.

Is that possible? that if their legs are long that it could bleed?

and does anybody have any tips on how to wash the blood of the birds feathers?

hopefully by tomorrow she will be ok, all I need is to clean her so she would look beutiful again.

And clean her cage.

Answers:

Dude yes that is very possible (assuming the cage could allow for this) especially since birds panic and aren't really logical about getting out of emergencies.

But maybe you should also check for mice and rats that could have got to the cage (it has happened to me before). They bite the legs of birds all the time, and i know it sounds crazy but sometimes they do this and try and run immediately. But they do have sharp teeth so it may have been one or two bites only to cause great damage.

(i'm sorry if the cage is not outside but maybe also other predatiorial birds had an attack and were only able to get to the one bird, but then gave up when it was thought impossible.)

Birds are also self cleaners so give them enough water and they will wash themselves.
