Wow its been a while. I have been really busy with my new addition Nanook. I am alittle concerned about him. today I noticed that there was a bit of blood on his lower chest. but the bleeding stopped. ( a bit about Nanook- he doesn't fly, he is pretty much a budgie brick. He is a pretty daring little guy when he wants to explore. He will jump off a 3 ft. high cage to roam...with supervision. He doesn't have tail feather . That ( I think) is caused by jumping off the cage over and over again. and another bird in the lower cage helped with the process. Other then that he is eating well and very active. He is being watched very close so that he doesn't start to pick at it. could this injury be caused by anything else?

Has Nanook pulled out a feather to cause the blood or is there an actual, OPEN wound?

Could you post some pictures ?

I tried to get a picture but even with Nanook pinned it wasn't possible. He is an overactive *toddler* always busy and wanting to move. I got him to stay still long enough to feel that there is a little bump but it doesn't seem to bother him. the vet said to just keep an eye on him.

:ygbudgie: Any updates?

He is doing fine, all healed up. it looks like he hit a dust pan as he jump to the floor. ( I was cleaning the floor after they had millet )

that is great news
