I just started taking my parakeet out of his cage a few days ago, I got him 14 days ago. When I took him out today, he flapped his wings and some blood splattered onto my finger! There are a few drops of blood in his cage and I think he may have just pecked himself. It's coming from under his left wing, I don't know what to do!

The vet isn't open yet and I'm very worried!

Please help me, what should I do?

I know I'm 4 hours late, but I hope he is still okay...

 

You need to have a really close look at where it's comming from, as if it's a blood feather, it needs to be pulled out. Do you have any white pepper. This can be used to stop the bleeding

You can also use cornflour if you don't have white pepper.

I knew there was something else... but forgot what it was. THANKS!!!
