You have to be careful with these sorts of products as although the materials they are made with are normally non-toxic there is a risk of choking and snagging, so it's best not to use them un-supervised.

Welcome to the forum Vonn. Sounds like you have a wonderful little budgie. If possible leave the camera in the room so he starts to get use to it as a picture of his beak would help greatly. Has he access to cuttlefish or something similar which would help him grind/sharpen his beak.

Sounds so sweet.

Very nice picture, what a little cutey. His foot looks abit better now.

Great news about Jim, glad it wasn't anything too serious. He sounds such a sweet little bird full of character. Looking forward to lots of pictures. Have you tried him with water in the bath yet.

Regarding the change in colour in the nail, this could be a good this as it would indicate that the blood has stopped flowing down it which means when it is clipped by the vet it won't bleed as much. Jim is a young bird so he will grow back a new nail in no time. Just keep an eye on him to make sure he isn't losing blood and find a compentant vet to help you out.

All budgies deserve hugs and kisses and good to hear the news

Regarding him having his head tucked under his wing, that's a normal behaviour, so don't get worried about that. The only concern would be if there is lots of blood loss and there isn't. So a vet in the morning will sort him out, just keep an eye on him.

It probably will need a vets attention as Julie said, the main concern is blood loss though so try not to disturb the nail to much. A vet will be able to clip the nail then put something on it to stop it bleeding to much. The nail will re-grow back so that isn't an issue. It will bother Jim for a few weeks though. Here's some links to Avian vets http://www.parrotpassionsuk.com/Advice/Uk_Avian_Vets.htm http://www.birdcareco.com/English/Avian_vets/avian_vets.html http://www.theparrotsocietyuk.org/avian-vets.shtml Have you tried him in a bath yet as once his nail has been seen to, this could aid the healing. I would probably cover him early tonight so that he goes to bed early and doesn't jump around much and keep an eye on him every once in a while to check blood loss etc. Then in the morning I'd go over to an avian vet to have the nail clipped and sorted out. Just seen your post so good news about there not being much blood.

These things always happen on a day when there isn't a vet around. Budgies have viens which run down the claws. If it was at the end of the nail then it wouldn't really be a problem as you could sort out yourself. I've had a look at your picture http://forums.budgiebreeders.asn.au/index....wtopic=6891&hl= the one where he's near your mouth. On his right foot is that the claw which has the poorly nail? I can see a little redness.

When you say hanging off do you mean a small amount or all the way back to the foot. Also is there much blood. A picture would be helpful but only if there isn't a lot of blood coming out.

Poor little Tirikke, any news on what vet said? Do you need to disinfect cages, feeders etc

Like bird safe iodine

Nice looking colours

It'll be a hard task.

Funny and sweet

Well done another success

Same here, as well as the whole living room.

Great idea, look at all those greens

Could be fun after quarantine

Lin needs the practise

Good news, well done
