I have betadine solution in there to disinfect wounds. And I have nail clippers in there as well, in case their nail gets stuck in something and they cannot get out. I also have coconut water in my fridge for natural electrolytes for the birds and for humans to drink as well. The syringes I have are super tiny, and my birds are syringe trained with them so if we ever have to medicate them, it doesn’t have to be stressful. And there are some treats in there as well, so if we ever run out of treats when a bird is sick, we have emergency treats. I also have kwik stop, cotton pads, gauze pads, vet wrap, small towel (in case we have to towel them to transfer into hospital cage or for medication or anything like that), and paper towel.
@@chrish564 yeah it's very common, especially with young birds of prey their nest is filled with stinky stuff so flies are attracted to the nest, lay eggs, and eventually the maggots get under the bird's wings!
Not really about health, but we are sometimes experimenting power failures in our area, so we also add a flashlight with battery just in case it happens during their daily cage out time (we won't use candles for obvious reasons).
In my past budgies kit I had chamomile tea (I grow the flowers so I know they are 100% safe - dry them out and then when I need it i can just steep the tea and let it cool down) I used it when my budgie just got out of the vet's office and was on medications and was told to make sure she wasn't too active (she wasn't a fan of that) so I gave her some cooled down chamomile tea and it calmed her down.
There is a fork in the tree stand where the branches diverge and I was studying. My African Grey just somehow got her head stuck and didn't have a perch so was kicking her little legs in a panic. I grabbed her and popped her head forward. I've gotten too lax and usually put one in his kennel and leave her on her stand when I go out for an hour (like I did today). I couldn't imagine if this happened when I was out.
im going to make a guide of information about cockatiels for my mother..she got her cockatiels out of the blue because the their former owner didnt want them anymore because they were to loud..😲😧😬😣😥..she isnt a internet explorer..and her village doesnt have a libery or near it.. so i am making her a guidebook..and your videos & davids videos are a good source..
I'm just waiting for guidan angel to get band. Why? Because it works amazingly. Like AMAZING. Will end up only being available form a vet so they can make even more money.
I have been searching the internet for a vid about first aid for birds ! I lost a lot of birds as a kid because we couldnt get them to the Er vet in time 💔 and i just got new babies and was researching how can i improve their life quality
Thank you for this video. I already have few bits but need to get few more to complete my first aid box. I use Aspall Cyder vinegar. It is also raw, unpasteurised, unfiltered and contains the mother plus it is produced locally. Is Braggs better? I was always wondering about that.
The breeder im getting a bird from highly recommend having powder charcoal on hand in case the bird ingests a potentially toxic substance. So that might be a good thing to have?
I’d be concerned about that as the typical way that vets give charcoal to deal with toxins is to force feed it which I wouldn’t recommend for pet owners to do as it can go wrong!
I Would like to know how to get the creams that you where taking about for your bird's and for the first aid kit I love your video and thank you for sharing your video on the health and care of birds could you let me know the name of the ointment s you can get for birds and where I can order it thanks.
Hi Melanie - I normally get mine from Amazon but the listing is showing a photo of the wrong product! Here's another place you can get it, or you can type in F1- Germicidal Barrier Ointment to Google to find better prices :) www.scarlettsparrotessentials.co.uk/f10-barrier-ointment-25g?gclid=CjwKCAiA_omPBhBBEiwAcg7smZA5dPCH3jM2Xgo7MbXfNkKTqm-ZeCWCzhN_PHVWR1Q60htVCOn6oBoC9JQQAvD_BwE
@@BirdNerdSophie yeah, that is so obvious! Stupid question of me, sorry! I just wondered, because in my case, I can't be at a vet straight away. We live kind of remote and do not have a car available all the time.
@@sietskeluytema2667 haha! Same for our birds! The only thing we could do hypothetically is offer any foods that they would be willing to eat that’s bird safe just to get something in them!
Great informal video and very helpful
I also keep a pillowcase for each bird near their cage in case of emergency
Great idea 💙😊
Awesome and useful kit we've put together!
Absolutely essential for the babies!

Thanks for sharing your first aid kit! I also have my nail scissors and towels but they are separate from the kit and easy to access 😊
Oh ya, also mask and gloves for human ppe.
Betadine is definitely usefull, when I get birds with maggots come in as rescues it always helps with that!
@@ornithologydude8649 birds with maggots?! That is horrifying😥 so happy that people like you are there for birds in need!

That's a good thigs to have on hand! We are lucky in that we rarely experience power outages put we have plans in place just in case!

Awesome! We use chamomile regularly too - such an amazing flower for birds :)

There’s always hidden dangers, I always look twice at everything now and question if there’s a chance the birds could get stuck or hurt!

That's such a cool idea to make a guide book :)
I'm going to help wild birds that often run into our windows so not as many birds die because of it
What kind of tape is safe for bandaging?
I don’t recommend bandaging at home unless it’s done wrong and causes more pain but you can have micropore tape on hand!
Amazing video🥰. Very helpful
Glad you found it helpful 😊

It is a very good supplement

Braggs is more widely available, but if you can get one produced locally then that’s awesome 😍

Cool video! I have all these things and more since I've been taught how to use them!
Awesome! 🦉🦜🦅
hi Sophie, will corn starch do the same thing as corn flour?
Yes it will 😊
Could you put the cayenne pepper in a water bottle and if so how much?
No I wouldn’t recommend that!
Ooh awesome!!! Btw I'm Candice T I just got a new acc :D
Chippy and Fishy are so cute!!
Gonna try to get some of those so I'll be prepared :D
Hey 😁 they are little cuties!
This is great, I'm adding the saline solution, im going to try to get guardian angel as well. 😁 thank you.
Glad you found it useful 😊
What if the bird doesn't want to eat? How can you then give him the cayennepeper for instance?
If your bird won’t eat then they definitely need to see a vet!
@@BirdNerdSophie yeah, that is so obvious! Stupid question of me, sorry! I just wondered, because in my case, I can't be at a vet straight away. We live kind of remote and do not have a car available all the time.
@@BirdNerdSophie it is by the way a hypothetical question.... My bird eats just fine. I think it is his favourite occupation 😅
