My youngest chick cut her cere I'm not sure how I noticed a scab yesterday but this morning it red and sore what can I put on it??

hmmm I'm not sure.. hopefully someone will be able to help you soon. good luck. is it bleeding much or just red now?

Don't put anything on it, it will heal on it's own, just keep an eye for infection. He probably rubbed his cere on something sharp, check your cage for any sharp objects, the bars on the cage, if he is with another bird maybe they got into a beak fight.

She is with her three other siblings, also when its out flying it bumps into alot of things

she probably hurt it flying around, it will heal quickly, I remember Merlin did that once to himself too.

its a bump. one of my fledgelings did exactly the same thing when learning to fly

he did a good job at it too as he flew directly into a wall

this wound healed in about 4-5 days

Just leave it alone and it will heal in a few days

Yep Ernie's cere, in Liv's picture above, is perfect now. You wouldn't know he ever hurt it.

I agree with the others just leave it and let it heal natually

WE need to develop Budige crash helmets! One of mine did that as well, as other have said about 5 days and all gone. Unless it is bleeding (mine was) I just put blood stop powder on it but corn flower or pepper works just as well. If it's not bleeding then just take lots of pictures of his battle wound!

Is it still okay for her to come out and play with her siblings?

 

I let them out two times a day to fly, 1 on there own with just her siblings then I let the uncle out with the babies.

does the uncle know he is the uncle?

does the uncle know he is the uncle?

 

 

No but he is, he just plays with and kisses them, some times he mounts them but I put him back in his cage if he does.

Liv left Ernie in his cage for a couple of days after his little misadventure to give it a chance to heal.

Yeah, I did that just to make sure he didn't reopen the scab by crashing into something else - he was only in the cage for a couple of days :bump:

But she's In a cage with her three other siblings so should I put her in with her parents for a bit?

If it happened from bumping into something while flying then I wouldn't think the siblings would make it any worse.

 

Here's Ernie after about 2 weeks or so.

He's overly cute, and his cere looks good as new.
