All birds have blood feathers, so it's important for pet bird owners to be familiar with them and to know what to do in the event that one gets broken.
A broken blood feather can be quite an emergency for a pet bird. The reason for this is that broken blood feathers that remain in a bird's skin essentially act as an open faucet allowing blood to pour out of the bird's body. Because birds cannot tolerate much blood loss, broken blood feathers that are left untreated can be fatal in some cases.
If you notice blood on your bird or in his cage, the first thing to do is determine if it is indeed the result of a broken blood feather. Most broken blood feathers are fairly easy to identify, as you will be able to see the blood coming directly out of the feather shaft. If you are unable to determine whether or not a broken blood feather is the source of your bird's bleeding, take your bird to an avian vet as quickly as possible for an examination and treatment.
If you are able to identify a broken blood feather, the feather shaft must be removed from the bird's skin to stop the bleeding. To remove the broken blood feather, the first thing to do is to towel the bird. This will not only allow you to restrain your pet safely as you work to remove the feather, it will reduce the amount of stress to your bird as a result of the procedure.
Once your bird is restrained, locate the broken blood feather.
Wet the wing with water to clean up the blood to see where the broken blood is. Using strong tweezers, hemostats, or needlenose pliers, grasp the blood feather firmly at the base of the shaft, close to the bird's skin while holding the wing still so the wing will not get dislocated. Working as quickly as possible, pull on the base of the feather until the shaft is freed from the feather follicle.
Once you have plucked the blood feather, place a pinch of cornstarch on the affected area to help aid clotting, and use a piece of sterile gauze to apply pressure to the feather follicle until the bleeding has stopped.
If you are not confident to pull the blood feather you must seek out veterinary care. Make sure you find an avian veterinarian.

Love of Pets thank you very much for your video now my budgie stop bleeding and it's back to health thank you
Love of Pets I saw this feather on my bird too, but I didn't know what it is so I didn't do anything, But when I saw this, I immediately get to know that it was a blood feather I run immediately and check again but I couldn't find it, What will I do?
Love of Pets what happends if is not right away? my budgie still have the root of the feather however he stopped bleeding last night
Love of Pets this is my nightmare I’m so scared of this happening I can’t wait to get a job do I can buy stuff for my birds
It's best to be prepared just in case, but it hardly happens.

I must say, I'm quite unsure why I watched this as I do not own a bird nor do I plan on owning one in the near future. However Im glad that bird can now live out the rest of his/her life.

I love how the bird calmed down right after you removed it
Er did it? Looked like it was struggling throughout to me, understandable.
To be fair, after she pulled it, she held the bird right side up, it really only starts to struggle when upside down
he was just exhausted and she holds him in a way that makes him more submissive

Thank you! I just had to do this on my teil. It became a two person job because she's a big girl and very strong. She's not tame but I've been working on her. We ended up using wash cloths I bought for bird care. Thank you for making this. I gave her a big millet and an orange slice as a reward. Thankfully she's in my room away from all the action. She has a quiet place to calm down and recover.
(Update) the bleeding has stopped but now she's just shaking. She seems to be in a lot of pain still, does anyone know what I should do next?
Glad my video helped you. I would keep her warm. She is stressed and may be cold. Put a blanket around 3 sides of the cage. My birds shake afterwards. If she continues to shake call your Avian vet.

This reminds me of some uncommon healthy problems hamster can have (sticky eyes, overgrown nails, excess shedding, wet tail, etc.) that people don't know about until it actually happenes...
It's very good that you're educating the general piblic about issues like this, just so we have an awareness that small pets require care too!

DIYqueen Explosion I only have budgies on a spiritual level.
I don't have birds but I can see how important it is for a bird owner to know this!
Thanks for walking me through this procedure. Last night my cockatiel had a night fright and broke a blood feather. I had seen this video a while ago but at 2:00am while trying not to panic I needed a refresher since it was my first time having to pull one. Feeling more confident if it ever happens again (hopefully it doesn't!)
Glad my video helped. Hope your bird is okay
@@Loveofpets Thank you! Thankfully she's ok now :)

Best comment on this video tbh
Awwww you are so nice! I would’ve panicked if I had a bird with a bloody feather!
Betty He bloody feather? It's the English way of saying _damn feather_
FalconGamer 58 i bet he wasnt trying to say bloody feather i bet he was trying to say blood feather
A blood feather is a newly growing feather. They're natural. It's a hollow sheath over a growing feather to keep it sealed so it can grow. When one bursts it begins to bleed and it can be potentially life threatening. Do your research before commenting next time.
Hi panda
Betty He i would have called the vet
I think this is what killed my poor cockatiel :^( She had a blood feather I think and she passed away while I was at school.. I miss her all the time. Her name was Pennywhistle

Pulling a feather probably feels like pulling a tooth

this is more of like, a very large hair, or a hangnail.
Probably
This will be really helpful if my bird ever has a blood feather!

BROKEN blood feathers are a problem and don't happen very often
Omg, omg that can be so much of a relief for the bird. You are a hero.

I'm currently considering getting either 2 male budgies or a canary.
Your channel is my favourite so far in learning about these wonderful birds! You provide great information, and make it easier to understand.
Hi, glad my channel is helpful. Enjoy your new bird.
Thank you so much for this video. It saved my little budgie ❤
All those sensitive people out there obviously dislike because why not?
“She’s hurting the bird I’m gonna cry”
Obviously, would you rather the bird die like none of y’all ain’t got no common sense.
No its a lemon won wings
Its a giraff...i dont know how To write it buuuttt its ok
IKR she clearly said a birx could bleed to death if you dont get rid of it.
I think it's because a lot of the bird forums surrounding parrots in general are moving towards using cayenne pepper to stop the bleeding and allow clotting to form where the feather broke off instead of having to pull the rest of the feather out. So I'm guessing there are a lot of people who have been informed that this method is outdated and unnecessary which isn't true at all there's just an alternative method that may or may not work.
Even if the blood clots, it still needs pulling. It may bleed again and it bothers the bird by having a broken feather. It's best to pull to avoid it from bleeding again and let a new one in. The pepper is for pain and not for clotting.
I only watched this because it was recommended to me.

Lol, youtube was a thing way before you fnaf kiddies invaded
austin sulliman Excuse me? I ain't talking about trash games lol
Angela Ziegler I agree with you FULLY. This video is NOT retarded in the slightest. It’s helpful if you have a bird with a blood feather, or just in case your bird gets one. Like, HOW is this stupid?!
You video may have saved my parrot Arty last night! She fell from her perch in the night and even though she is fully flighted she landed hard enough to break a new primary growing in on her right wing. Having watched your video previously I didn't panic, and though I fumbled a bit I pulled out the blood feather with tweezers and she made it through the night.
That said, anyone else who is reading this, don't skimp on the hemostats. Trying to use a pair of Revlon tweezers at 3am on a distraught bleeding bird is a nightmare come true. It took me three attempts to pull out the feather with those stupid things.
Glad you helped your bird. Hope she is okay now.
i love hemostats.
i have no bird, but they're great for fixing things, specially as i work as a car electrician, they're great to keep things in place.
Yeah don't skimp on the hemostats.
Nice, clean, and safe procedure
Aww hes so beautiful. I didn't even know what a blood feather was before I saw this 😮 good to know if I ever get a bird whooaa
Owner: Alright I’m just going to spray you with some water.
Bird: WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO? *Mad birb reflex skillz*
Hopefully this doesn't happen to my birb... She isn't handtamed
i call my birds "birbs" instead of "birds" too lol. idk why, but it became a habit
Creamino Budgie to bad I got autocorrect
My bird bites really bad so yeah hopefully he doesn't get a blood feather
Possibly contact your local pet store and ask them if they can remove it, I'm sure they wouldn't say no

Well done! Excellent video!
This is very helpful information. I have 5 keets and a cockatiel. I am fairly new to keeping birds (9 months). My oldest bird just recently broke a feather on her head.
Did you notice as soon as she took out the blood feather the bird calmed down a little
