Budgie First Aide Kit Everyone should always have a first aide kit available and ready to use incase of emergency this is what is recommended that you should always have on hand. Supplies: ü Cotton bud sticks for wound cleaning and application of ointments and scalyface products ü Corn flower or styptic pencil – to clot blood (you can get a styptic pencil at your local pharmacy) ü Egg white –using egg white is a good way to 'splint' a leg, just brush it on and let it get hard. Easy to remove as well just add water. ü Iodine - bird safe for sterilizing ü Cotton Wool Balls/pads – to absorb body fluids and apply to wounds ü General vitamin supplement (ACEhigh, Avimix, Soluvet plus) ü Syringes and crop needles for emergency feeding and medicine dosage ü Avian Insect Liquidator - Or other mite and feather lice treatment ü Hand raising formula (for birds too sick to eat on their own, until you can get them to a vet) Eg. Poly-Aid, Passwell Hand Rearing Food or Budgie Starter ü Bandages: to wrap splints to legs or hold broken wings down onto the body. ü Plastic drinking straws - Split lengthwise they can be additional support when splinting a tiny budgie leg. ü Saline - for washing wounds out (and cleaning eyes, but only if it is 0.9% [also called normal saline] solution otherwise it is too strong) ü Tooth Picks – cut off the point and use for splinting legs ü Icy Pole or Ice block sticks (toothpicks) – cut off sharp ends and to required size. Used for splinting wings etc ü Tea towel - for swaddling the budgie, this stops it thrashing around and hurting itself further (a bath towel would be too heavy for a budgie, but would be okay for other birds) ü Dish - for putting saline in. ü Scissors (Iris scissors are best) - cutting bandages etc. ü Sticky tape - for holding bandages together etc. ü Blunt nosed tweezers – to pull out remains of broken blood feathers etc (To safely pull out a broken blood feather support the wing or limb carefully, locate the broken and bleeding feather. Using the forceps, get a good grip around the base of that feather and pull it out in the direction of growth. Use flour for any bleeding. Once the feather is pulled, generally the bleeding stops and further damage is avoided.) ü Needle nosed tweezers ü STERIS-strips - these are like stitches but you stick them on to keep a wound closed ü Little cardboard box for putting the budgie in when carrying it to the vet. ü Eye dropper - for feeding or for applying saline to the eye etc. ü Honey – a natural antiseptic ü Magnifying Glass – helps to see fine detail, mites, leg ring codes etc ü Liquid Calcium – for emergency treatment of rickets, and splay legs due to lack of calcium in parents and babies ü Baby Oil – for treatment of scaly face mites and scaly legs – apply carefully using cotton wool tip, avoiding nostrils ü Make Up Sponge – can be used for the treatment of splayed legs. ü Teabags –a natural way of cleaning eye irritations. Soak teabag in warm water and use for irritated eyes

If the cage is too small or wrong and as yet unused....take it back

Yes you can

No you cant use the sponge on her/his at this age. Chance are she/he isnt splayed.their legs are all over the place at this age and not tucked under them yet for support. Make sure she/he has calcium in her/his feeds.

why would you want to do that ?

BUDBOY...........go check the bird for presence of iris rings or not. That will settle the debate one way or another. I agree

You really need to take her to someone with newish babies in their nest and put her in with them to be raised.

Spangle dominant pied female ( not clearwing )

Sounds okay to me

also please remove any grit...Bobby doesnt need it.

Looking very healthy

Jets......you are telling her YOUR truth, and as we have found by ears and eyes open on the internet and hearing others stories and advice .....your truth isnt necessarily how it will be. Go ahead and try Tinkerbell and prove the hardnosed Jetsbudgies wrong LOL

1. is DEFINITELY DF dom pied

So you think she DOES look opaline, Kaz?S Then that cinnamon opaline chick isn't necessarily a girl. Yes we were told what to look for once to determine this and it has to do with the striations on the markings on her head.

Yes they were......so add split for ino to the dads records and the chick was a hen too
