Cockatiels ARE the best! :P I had one for a long time, adopted him from a not so great situation, was older than me and passed away at 27. He was the best!
I agree they are such good birds with so much personality. Mine dances and sings. Yours lived a great life. I’m glad to hear that you adopted him, I’m sure he was very happy!
In Australia, we use a product called Zoff to dissolve adhesives in surgical tape etc on our patients. I'm surprised they don't use something similar - it's a lot less fume-y than acetone.
In Florida (which this episode takes place) it’s hard to find Zoff unless you buy it online (or at least what I can find since there is a website where you can buy it) and since we don’t normally have it without buying it online, acetone is the closest option we have.
vegetable oil will get the sticky off. Dawn dish soap will get the oil off. childhood experience lol. the fly tape isn't toxic, it's just a sticky glue. ..
Kim Ross Birds and other exotic animals are notorious for being very fragile and very sensitive. They honestly would be too sensitive to the chemicals in dish soap. The method they used here is actually pretty smart. :-)
That's what I used on a bat that did the same thing, the company that produced the insect traps recommended that. I'd say that would be less toxic than acetone.
i feel like a bit of coconut oil wouldve done the trick too. My families old apartment had mice and the property manager gave us those glue traps which are really horrible if you leave the mice on them so when they got stuck i took the mouse (glued to the trap) outside and pour vegetable oil over its leg- theyd wiggle out within seconds
Birds and mice are very different. Birds are actually super sensitive, you can’t even cook or really do any affective cleaning around them because they can drop in a heartbeat.
@@artsypupyoungcreativity162 you can, but you just have to be super careful and aware of what's in everything you use around them or that will be in contact with them, their super fast metabolism and ultra-efficient respiratory system combined with their small size make them susceptible to so many things.
Feathers soak oil badly, they'd have to wash the bird with dishsoap after acetone is strong but it evaporates fast enough that it's not so much an issue
I see Dr. Thielen often may be like once or twice a month, sometimes 3-4 times a week in sicky moments at the Texas Avian and Exotics at Grapevine Texas, I trust her my animal kingdom.
the same thing happened to my budgie recently! vegetable oil gets the glue out, and dawn dish detergent gets the oil out. pretty stressful for the bird and the owner, but it happens.
If you ever have this problem especially with an animal that bathes itself use peanut butter and oil! My cat got into one once, and that was the only thing that would help.
oil is impossible to remove from feathers however and the bird ends up plucking them out. oil is NOT a solution for bird feathers. the only thing to do once oil in on the bird is to then wash it with dawn.
I like them, but I'm not a huge cockatiel but my is Macho a cutie! I personally would be more worried about the eating rather than the glue, his feathers will "change" eventually. But I understand the desire to get him cleaned up
Oil, oil works, olive oil vegetable oil, really any type of oil. I know because I backed into one of those fly traps and got the sticky stuff stuck in my hair. Fun times.
Macho still looked sick given his poofiness 🙁 I’d be concerned if he ate any of the glue and inhaled the fumes from the acetone. I once spilled a little acetone on an old laptop and it ate away at the top layer of coating. I wouldn’t put that anywhere near a bird personally.
People are so selfish. They decided to get an animal they knew nothing about, and worse they chose an exotic yet didn't even bother to learn basic things about his species. She talks about him not eating for a dangerously long length of time as though she's talking about the weather. As the vet said, for a cockatiel 2 days is a very long time to go without food, and that's assuming he at least drank water. Imagine if she'd just adopted a child and said, in the same tone and context, "well he wasn't eating for 2 weeks, as of yesterday he's been eating, drinking water, but I don't know what to do!" (and I just now decided to take him to a doctor) She says about the glue "I don't know if it's poisonous!" Why the hell not? I'm sure that information is included in any introductory book, and pretty much everyone knows glue can be toxic to birds. Most damning though is that regardless of what she knew beforehand, by her own admission she's had days to find out yet chose not to do so. At the end, she says "now we have a white and yellow bird, instead of a white, yellow, dirty and sticky bird, and uh, she says that he's healthy, so brand new bird." She cares most about his appearance and not his well being. His health is secondary to whether he looks pretty. Poor birdy. If you don't want to be a pet parent, don't take responsibly for the life of a sentient creature. Get a plant or maybe an ant farm.
Maybe she wanted a bird to love and this is her first one. Have you thought about that. Yes she should do her research before getting the bird but things happen. So instead of judging her and writing 3 paragraphs then telling her to get a plant or an ant farm be happy the bird is ok. Jesus people these days.😒
@Privacy Lover, no one when they get a bird for a pet is an expert. It takes experience for any pet owner to learn how to care for the pet. I bet you were not a born expert on computers, caring of pets, and raising children on you day of birth. No one is born an expert on animal care. It takes time and learning to care for our animal pets.
You *cannot* use oil on feathers. If you use oil then you'd have to wash it out with dawn (which can be harmful to your bird). There are better ways to clean your bird so try not to use oil.
hola Dct.k tengo un problema con un periquito se le voltio su cuellito a Asia un lado pero no a tenido golpes le aplicaron desinflamatorio x7 dias y nada pero ella come vien q debo hacer
acetone evaporates rapidly and they did not get it on the bird's skin. Also, they went to vet school. The bird was on anaesthesia and oxygen while they were using the acetone.
oil is a worse idea, it would take forever to get the oil out, they'd likely just have to end up washing it dish soap afterwards to get the oil out which would add more strain on the bird, while with the acetone they knock it out, put it on oxygen and quickly wipe it down and immediately dry it off.
I know this is old,new to me.Any way I use olive oil on my paint brushes.Acetone works but tears up the hairs some time.And olive oil or other oils aren't poision.Years of my animales,kids,carpet you name it I've done it.
no. oil and feathers don't mix. it is nearly impossible for the bird to remove on its own and it will end up plucking them out. you'd have to wash it with dawn afterwards. i wish they had said that on the show - explained why they were going to acetone rather than oil- and used the opportunity to educate ppl.
You can’t use oil on a bird since feathers are sensitive with certain things and even if you were gonna use oil a bird like a cockatiel you have to use dish soap (like Dawn) which could stress a bird out.
oil is impossible to remove from feathers however and the bird ends up plucking them out. oil is NOT a solution for bird feathers, unless you want to further traumatize the bird and damage the feathers by washing with dish soap
anyone and everyone says do not buy off the internet unless it is a breeder with a good reputation, ok, they mostly mean cats, dogs, breeds where people are more likely to over breed and not breed good lineage. you should always check refs, their vet, other local vets. research the animal you want to get, i have always loved possums, i had my b/f patrol partner, the kids called her animal lady, she had a large collection of animals that she would take to the schools, i found a family of possums living under a neighbor friends house, and called her to come get them, well with her teaching me i had my first 2 possums, i love them, my service cat is special needs and is very possessive of me she will attack anyone or thing that gets with in 6' of me, so because i am afraid she will kill them, i will not have any pets, when i foster or am nursing an animal, i double cage so furbadass can not hurt or kill them. i still enjoy possums, but i am happy feeding them and petting them outside, i sadly can't feed them at our new house there are just way too many skunks and coyotes. i keep coconut oil with a couple drops of lavender oil, and also a blend of massage oil that won't smell rancid on the skin or air. i use on both my human patients and animal patients to remove tegraderm or bandaging tape adhesive, the oil loosens the clear adhesive bandage they put over iv sites, heart monitor pads ekg tabs. it prevents the skin from tearing and is not as harsh as acetone
How much do you guys paid to do segment shows like this? This is like the most amateur production value I've ever seen in the show. It's blowing my mind how terrible the show is. Dude this is terrible..I'm serious if you guys need good contact for Nat Geo DME LOL. I live in Hollywood and my roommates ex-girlfriend was reducer for Viacom.
The way she looked that bird dead in the eyes and said your welcome little bird

What good new mamas to this birb. I'm so happy they brought it in.

vegetable oil will get the sticky off. Dawn dish soap will get the oil off. childhood experience lol. the fly tape isn't toxic, it's just a sticky glue. ..
oil and dish soap don't play nicely with feathers, also birds can be weirdly sensitive to otherwise nontoxic chemicals
Micky Deery they use dawn on wild birds that have oil on them as long as you get all the residue off it’s fine
@@danicahannaford737 this was fly strip glue, not oil

Cockatiels are the best birds ever I have one and they are so sweet
My girl is my truest little friend. Cockatiels forever 💕
My cockatiel did the exact same thing and we washed him with dawn and it worked great 👌
The poor bird... so glad he's ok!

Thanks for the tip❤

Lol that one girl never said a word, not even a thanks
Soo why do you care
She’s probably just shy and scared her bird might not make it. Why the free hate bro?
3:45 turn the volume all the way up
she did say thank you, the mic just didnt pick it up well
She seems shy, I’m like that too
Am just gonna say wow to the pet owners
That vet looks a lot like Pam from the Office
More like Katy the purse seller😂
ah so the pikachu bird is called cockatiel :p
This is funny because I have my cockatiel on my chest while watching this

@@nicolettebundy yes, feathers behave very differently to fur/hair it's important to not think of them as the same
Nota 10000 essa doutora, não perco um episódio aqui no Brasil, venha aqui no Brasil com sua equipe ✌️👍😘😘😘
Ugh this is totally something my cockatiel would do lmao
Þ
the woman who brought the bird in that girls mom has such an attractive body shape.
wtf
That’s gonna be expensive for something that could’ve been taken off with dawn dish soap 😂
But it can't unless you rub vegetable oil into it first
That can harm the bird. You don't know what you're doing, they do. Smh
I like them, but I'm not a huge cockatiel but my is Macho a cutie! I personally would be more worried about the eating rather than the glue, his feathers will "change" eventually. But I understand the desire to get him cleaned up
I would also be concerned about the bird eating the glue....
I don't blame him for being cranky,
I got my hair stuck in one. Living flies were buzzing in my hair. It was terrifying.

I LOVE COCKATIELSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Me too! I have a male named Domino. He will be 4 on January 14, 2019!
we have a Cockatiel we named him tommy
poor bird has its wings cut.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed that chicks hips...
Jeez
Oil, oil works, olive oil vegetable oil, really any type of oil.
I know because I backed into one of those fly traps and got the sticky stuff stuck in my hair. Fun times.
awwww..so wonderful..:))
wait. they still have those fly strip dealies?
I had cockatiels growing up
I have eleven birds 10 love birds and a cockatiel his name is Ollie and he is my baby😘
Ů
My bird flies in front of my fan its weird. The first time he did it he went flying backwards 😁😁😂😂
Playing on the air currents, how wonderful
HORRIFIC!!!!
Oil and goo gone works best for sticky stuff. Try the oil first though period any kind of oil from peanut oil to vegetable oil to mineral oil
oil and feathers do not play nice, not unless you're good with having to bath a bird with dishsoap after
Has anybody seen the episode ? I have a cockatiel myself and I hope their's is okay
I have 5 birds
2 cockatiel and 3 budgies
Can we get married?
MY MY MY WHAT A STICKY SITUATION
my budgie had the same thing......but a HOLE LOT of her feathers came out!

This is making me cringe so much, acetone has such a strong smell that can harm the bird and blow dryers most likely have Teflon
what season and episode is this in
Vegetable oil.
Goo Off?
I think it's called fly paper. Also fingernail polish remover is what you and me can use.
I know this is old,new to me.Any way I use olive oil on my paint brushes.Acetone works but tears up the hairs some time.And olive oil or other oils aren't poision.Years of my animales,kids,carpet you name it I've done it.
there's a reason the vets didn't go for oil though. oil ruins feathers.
use oil.any oil works miraculously

Coconut oil or olive oil is best. And if tht blow dryer wasnt ceramic then tiel could die. NO acetone !!! 😏😳🤔
