I've put him in a shoebox as there are only two cages and I am NOT going to put the sex craved budgie back with the others-he must stay isolated I also cleaned the wounds with salty warm water and betadine (antiseptic) what else can i do????

Guest K&M Breeding Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 is he 5 weeks old or you've had him for 5 weeks? and I agree with keeping him warm, do you have a heating pad you can use or a desk lamp To help keep him warm? i've had 2 Budgies attacked one was in a nest box and the lid was a bit open and the others attacked her through the opening The other was attacked in her cage both lived and are still alive, and I still have the female who was attacked in the nest box they tore her cere up But now 3 years later you can't tell she was ever attacked Link to comment

One eye is closed and most likely won't open and the head wounds are healing slowly, his wing has healed but sensitive and his toe is very bruised but okay POOR LITTLE THING... ): Link to comment
