I can't remember exactly what's on the list but stiptick powder or pencil for bleeding (or cornflour works too) and colloidal silver.

It would be good if someone could put them together and sell them add a bit extra on and the rest goes to BL!

A first aid kit was one of the list of questions I had for the vet when I took Kai Lani for her well birdie check and he gave me Silver Nitrate Sticks and said that would be all I'd need. If I needed more to see him. Never have used them but I sure know where they are.

Under information there is a list of things the 1st one is first aid kit it lists item that you shoud have i have needed mine a few times when we pick up birds etc every body who has a birdline bird should have a 1st aid kit for birds all it needs is a sweety tin (good excuse to empty one) and put all the items in it mark it up what it is and put a list in it and also your vets phone number i thought the items were over the top when i joined but beleve me its not it is also a good idea to put plasters etc it it for birdy bites etc hope this helps also keep carry cage at hand so you can get bird to vets asap if needed

Basic First Aid Kit For Your Bird

Always have a basic first aid kit to hand. It should contain a few simple things that will be useful should your bird become injured. We always recommend that if your bird has any type of injury, that it is taken to a vet as soon as possible.

These are the basic minimum items that should be at hand in case of an emergency:

1. A substance to stop bleeding (Cornflour is good for this, however there are proprietary brands available in all good pet shops.)

2. A bird safe disinfectant (Such as Avisafe)

3. Cotton wool balls or cotton buds.

4. Tweezers and sharp scissors

5. Savlon cream (The ONLY human medication that can safely be used on a bird)

6. A soft, dark, non striped towel, for restraining an injured bird. (A light, striped towel would represent a preditor to the bird.)

7. De-stressant / Shock medication

8. Probiotics / White cell support / Electorlytes

9. Heat source (Heat lamp to help with shock.)

10. Pen light

11. Bandage material (½ Inch masking tape or micro-pore tape.)

12. Nail clippers

13. Eye dropper (This must be well cleansed if it has been used for other purposes!)

14. Important Telephone numbers (i.e. Vets, Taxi companies)

15. A suitable sized bird carrier (Even if your bird is trained to travel on your shoulder, a carrier should be available incase the bird is physically injured or in shock!)

Do NOT bathe the bird.

A sick bird needs warmth, darkness and a quiet atmosphere.

DO NOT HESITATE TO TAKE YOUR BIRD(S) TO THE VETS IF YOU SUSPECT THAT THE BIRD IS ILL. OFTEN WITH BIRDS TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. THE ABOVE LISTS ARE TO BE USED AS AN EMERGENCY MEASURE AND NOT AS A FORM OF CURE FOR A SICK BIRD!

also if you do have to take your bird to the vets please take a sample of its droppings etc i always put a sample of the paper of the birds cage on the bottom of the travel cage its up to you but it can save the vet a lot of time and maybe a life
