Peachy Pie bit my finger this morning and drew blood as well as a small chunk! He was singing away under the covers, yoo hooing away, I took his covers off and he was all happy, pinged his bars on the climb out, started dancing on top of the cage, and I was like awww good boy! Went in to tickle him and he just lunged! It's all red and swollen Guess who's in my bad books today!

Have you put some disinfectant on it and bandaged it? After a good wash in hot water first. Not saying that there is anything wrong with your bud, but such wounds can turn nasty.

I didn't OP I rushed out to work, and had a very hands on day in stockrooms moving dusty boxes and getting my hands dirty. I washed them about a dozen times today but really wish I'd done as you said now

If the swelling stays up or gets worse it needs attending to by a doctor or practice nurse.

Gosh I hope you are ok lemonade. I remember something fuzzy from my mums vet nurse days that birds carry a certain bacteria that is harmful to humans - am I remembering correctly? Certainly don't mean to scare anyone, just a question

Oh I know! They eat their own poo on occasions I will clean it out tonight and plaster, keep an eye on it. It's the spring hormones, the birds are all going wild just now with the lighter nights and longer days.

Poor Peachy. Poor you too, but Peachy is probably a little frustrated ......... he needs a lady 'tiel to calm him down.
