My bird has a feather that sticks out and has for a long time, what should I do?

Question

He is a cockateal (sp?) and he was attacked by my cat several months ago. I took him to the vet and he is fine, but he just has this one wing feather that sticks straight out and looks very ugly. I'm afraid if I pull it it will bleed. But in the mean time, it looks stupid. At first I thought he would just lose his feathers eventually and get new ones. Well his feather got messed up like 9 months ago and it's still there looking stupid.

Advice?

Answer 1

Haar! HAAR! RIP IT OFF...!! AND... EAT IT....

Sorry, got carried away!

Look honey (If your a girl and for boys....RIP IT OFF ARRGG!)

I believe you should simply pull it of and rub gently over the skin area where you plucked it out from! If it bleeds..then wipe it and hold onto it with a soft cotton piece(damp) and confort your adorable little munchkin! Pluck it out swiftly and carefully! Cya

Answer 2

let the bird fly and it'll fall off

Answer 3

pluck it or if ur too afraid then just cut it off feathers are like hair it probably wont bleed

Answer 4

MM wondering what kind of view you have .. how can a animal look stupid?  that's your thoughts  so maybe you the one that looks stupid? you put things upon yourself .. oh no just blame the animal its a bird.. you see how stupid that sounds?? did the vet not laugh in your face? what if the bird thinks he 's got a stupid leg? mm pull it out perhaps  it might bleed??!! what is not of your liking , are you for real?   shame on you
