BIRD FIRST AID KIT
BFAK
Be Prepared For Bird Emergencies!
If you've ever experienced a wounded bird, you understand the need for this kit! Not long ago our own Blue-Crowned Conure, Critter, had a clipped toenail that unexpectedly bled what seemed like huge amounts, sending us on a dramatic and frantic search for styptic powder. We found it, but not nearly soon enough to calm our stress (or hers). Of course we had a packet, but hadn't needed it for years -- thus the search. It was on a shelf in the bathroom medicine cabinet. What a lesson! A fresh kit and more diligent oversight was the answer. We decided right then to add this First Aid Kit to our catalog. It has a clearly marked case that we stow in easy reach.
First Aid Kit comes with the pictured carrying case and includes:
Styptic Powder (toenail/feather bleeding) Pair of Latex Gloves (personal protection) 2 ml. Eye & Skin Wash (flush eyes or wounds) 1" x 6 yards Sterile Gauze Bandage (wrap around wounds) Pair of Scissors (trim feather/cut bandage tape) Pair of 5" Locking Forceps (remove broken blood feathers) Iodine Antiseptic Swabs (sterilization) Antiseptic Towelettes (clean wound or hands) 2" x 2" Gauze Pads (apply to wound area) Cotton Swabs (apply ointment or creams) Adhesive Tape (secure bandage) Hand Wipe (personal cleanup) Bird Emergency Card (record vet information/phone no.)
