BirdTricks I try to help my Quaker with her pin feathers, but she doesn’t let me help her too much before trying to bite me usually it’s in the back of her neck and it’s impossible for her to get it herself. She’s a lone bird, so she doesn’t have another bird to help her either. Any suggestions on toys, branches, or cage items to help her rub these away? She doesn’t seem to groom it much. Otherwise I’m relegated to a leather winter glove to hold her and crush the casings so she doesn’t. put a hole in me and I can help her.

If Comet letting you mess with a broken blood feather without too much fuss (granted there was probably more fuss with the part that wasn't filmed) doesn't say volumes about your relationship, I don't know what will.

Yeah mine don't like that either. You do not touch their pin feathers or try to pick them off. That's a recipe for a great big birdie bite

the way this parrot looks at you and interacts with you, it feels like there is a lot of trust and love from this bird. it really makes my day to see such a beautiful, intelligent creature share such a wholesome bond.

Thank you for showing a small part of the behind the scenes grooming (and mess) of parroting. Parrots can't reach so many areas to groom and let a mate help out. Caged separately, it will be the caregivers job. Your videos really spread the word about bird housing and maintenance that let people assess if ownership is for them.

My favorite part of having my birds is getting them comfortable enough and trusting us to sit and preen them for up to 30 minutes at a time. It is so relaxing for both human and bird, especially if you are into peeling and picking!

Who knows if anyone will see this, but it's a fun fact that some rabbits make the chicken clucking noise too when they're relaxed and contented.

I really love the sounds this bird makes. It’s so pleasant. Almost like the sound cats makes when they are surprised but louder :)

I have NEVER SEEN a macaw, even some really well behaved ones, be so quiet when being dealt with like that! Especially when dealing with a blood feather, which is quite painful for parrots. Comet's behaviour is exemplary and speaks absolutely loads about the connection he shares with his owner. What a patient bird!

Aweeee he was sweet.letting you touch him as you preened him...Hes a good birdie..He knows hes loved...

I didn't even know what a blood feather was when I clicked this video. I was waiting for you to explain or show what it looked like, so I didn't know what you meant until the end. In saying that, Thank you for posting this! I found it very educational. Thank you for showing the blood and stuff, I like raw honestly about animal health issues and particularly how to fix them if I ever encounter them in life. Hope Comet recovers quickly.

This is great timing since I just had a macaw with a broken blood feather yesterday. I work at a zoo, and it had stopped bleeding before I got there thankfully. I wasn’t sure how to treat it, especially since he doesn’t like being touched very much at all.

Most importantly...are Comet's feet still there? Did he space out and check? 🤣

I remember my Quaker's first blood feather from his tail. I wrapped him up in a towel and held him while my husband was in charge of pulling out the feather. The tugging of the feather nearly made me pass out. I saw stars and then black for like a second. I've gotten better since then.

She described what a blood feather was at around 0:50 however she used the word “pin feather” to describe it that time instead of blood feather it means the same thing a blood or pin feather is basically a developing needle like feather on a bird usually during development or molting stages they are present :)

Well done on treating this so calmly and methodically

Comet loves you! He was so calm, so accepting of your help, as scary as it was, it was lovely to see that trust.

Thank you for this educational video and all the others you provide. The only thing I was concerned about was you licking your fingers twice to clean Comet’s blood off your hand.

I had no idea the blood veins could be so big! I'm glad Comet's ok.

Very scary! It’s shocking how much blood is lost within minutes. Before you bring a bird home, please put together a first aid kit. Mine is in a child’s school supply box. I got the supply list off of avian website. Luckily. I’ve only had to treat a bleeding toenail & that is nothing compared to the amount of blood Comet lost. I’m sure this has brought up a lot of your grief from losing Bandit. My heart goes out to you & yours. 💕

Yay! Patty to the rescue! I feel like her KZread appearances were too short and too harshly judged during the Morgan days but she is clearly an incredibly knowledgeable and caring bird owner and ally! Really appreciate all you guys do to educate and spread awareness on feathered issues! Birdtricks squad flocking rocks!

I just love how much you care about your birdies..

He is such a gentle bird. Love to you guys, good job.

It’s so amazing how trusting these birds are to you. You are a very special person my dear. Keep up the awesome videos.

It is so nice how calm you talk to him and how you try to calm him. I was very happy to see that. ❤️❤️❤️

May you both have a better day tomorrow!

I've been worrying about this happening. I will definitely be getting the first aid kit. Thank u for sharing this

A vital video for everyone and this makes it clear of what are the first steps. Ty

I knew you loved your birds, but the concern on your face still had me in awe. It was like a momma fixing up their kid.

As always thanks for sharing with us!

So glad Comet is ok & you were able to get the blood stopped.

This is very informative. I have a white bellied caique and she broke a blood feather on her wing. We were specifically told by a vet to use super glue and glue it back together until it molts out. I know this is not the right thing to do so I ended up pulling it out gently. I just thought that I would mention to never use super glue!!!

Comet is so beautiful in mind and spirit. He was very patient while you did first aid for him. NB: not all parrots will be this patient whilst you try to tend to the blood feather. It's a shame they get them at all really but they do and we always have to be prepared. Well done on your kind treatment of poor Comet. I hope he will stop feeling sore soon xx❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Comet is such a great name for a flight-trained parrot. Especially an Orange and Red one. Amazing bird.

Poor baby!! It's amazing how much Comet trusts you!!

Very interesting to see this. The way you both handled it with gentleness was amazing to behold...there is obviously a close bond and heaps of trust there. I was reminded of when you talked about bank balances and this is one of those instances where a healthy balance is needed for this kind of thing. Thanks for sharing 😊😊😊

What a trusting bird and a good mama.

He's being very patient!

Thank you for the on going education of yours birds. It’s so valuable

You're so gentle and nice :) Comet is lucky to have you

Comet seems pretty chill such a sweetheart

Love this because I’ve always been afraid of blood feathers! Also girrrrl your hair looks bomb I’m that outro!

Poor beautiful baby 🦜 I hope he is doing okay many blessings for you guys and the beautiful babies you have 🦜🦜🥰

Another great video which was really helpful. I recently got my macaw at the end of this past summer so this was useful information. Also, he is currently a bit behind me on a perch and when he saw Comet on the screen he started knocking and saying hello and come here.

Great info and video of it...Thanks so much for filming it. :-)

THANK YOU. This information is invaluable.

Oh man, you can see you have a great relationship between you going on, that's so lovely to see 😍 The blood feather was interesting to be honest, i've never seen something like that. Probably best not seeing this anyway cause it the poor thing was clearly in pain! Good that you understand your bird and that you can handle to it!

Comet is an absolutely amazing and beautiful bird. Gorgeous colours

Oh and thanks for all the Australia stuff I'm mum to a Eclectus parrot it's hard finding information on them. But he is 5years old and the love of my family's life.

You are so awesome with your parrots! Love your videos. I understand your love for them for sure!

Ouch! Poor baby I can see why blood feather Injuries are so painful for them..I’m glad comets going to be ok🙏❤️Thank you for sharing this important info. with us Jamie

Thanks for the information. My birds have never had a broken blood feather. So now I know how to handle it if it ever happens to one of my birds. Love your videos.

Thank You so much for sharing!

It's pretty interesting to learn about this and see everything... But I also feel terrible for sweet comet being in pain! Poor guy 😥 so glad he has such a loving family to care for him. Didn't realize Patty lived so close, what a blessing!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this story. We’ve had blood feathers in our parakeets, but so far none in our small parrots. We just rescued a 1 year old blue/gold and we understand the importance of understanding bird first-aid!

I have seen a few of these on Marlene's channel being pulled out, but never this massive of a feather. That was *huge* poor baby Comet. Bet u both slept hard after that day.

What a sweet and calm macaw.

Oh no ! Hope he is better soon. Lucky he has a great Mama! He's so pretty!

Poor comet. He loves and trusts you so much

How scary. That was a lot of blood. Glad your teaching bird owners what to do.

I love his little macaw sounds

Love your intro😍one of my birds also had a blood feather so I looked of ways to help this vid will help me alot next time👌🏻

Oh wow, he seems like just the sweetest little guy. It looked like he was in pain while you were trying to stop the bleeding, but it was very apparent to me at least, that he has so much trust and faith in you. You clearly have a very special relationship and bond with one another. Very touching. I hope Comet is feeling so much better now. I have never owned any type of bird, but I love all animals and I am fascinated by anything medical, so I found this video really interesting. To be honest, I didn’t even know that feathers had veins or any blood going through them. I always thought that they were hollow. I was hoping that you might explain that on this video, but I guess you probably have another video touching on this subject. 😀💕

Thanks for this video. I learned something new I never knew about bird blood feathers.

I have budgies. I used to by the Stop Bleed powder, but learned that corn starch is a perfect coagulant for stopping bleeding in an emergency. I have used it and it works! I just put a bunch on the end of the feather and it works great! I am not sure how it would work on larger birds, but it was fine for my budgie.

Thank you so much for posting this! I had no idea they made Avian First Aide kits with clotting powder in them, a total must if your a bird owner. My Goffin broke a blood feather and I had no idea what to do, or that it could even happen (of course it happened our first year together 🙄). Thankfully the vet was open and he showed me how to safely stop the bleeding and remove the feather without hurting the bird, and suggested keeping QuickStop on hand in case it happened again. Bless that Vet. That was 10 years ago, and thankfully the only thing I've had to use QuickStop on was either the birds toe nails sometimes after a trimming, or on the birds bite victims 😂🤷

Your channel is the best bird channel out there I hope to start one some day😁keep making amazing bird vids🔆

So much blood! 😯 you both were very brave 🤗 such a relevant & informative video, thank you 💖

Great video, loved the care and info

Very educational and important

Awe poor guy, and so patient

Great video!! Thank you!!

Wow! I had no idea the blood vessel was that big. Excellent video! Thank you❤️🦜❤️

What a great relationship.

My budgies HATE when anyone touches their pin feathers, so so help with preening from me, haha. I'm glad this was quickly fixed. I'm always a bit worried for my budgies because they are so little and even a small amount of blood loss can be extremely bad. Thankfully my avian vet is only a few blocks away!
