I usually never go inside the birds aviary in the mornings, but today, I felt like I had to, like something was wrong. As I go in, I see Tommy with a terrible face accident. He has dried blood on his beak, face, and undereye, his face feathers don't look good at all. His eye looks weird. I don't know what happened to him. I thought he was blind but he flew a little. My mom felt bad for him so he is inside the house. I'm scared, I don't want to loose him.

I got him to drink a sip and eat a few seeds. Turns out that he can't open his beak enough to eat seeds. I'm feeling overwhelmed. I don't want to put neosporin because the wounds are under his feathers. He has skin on the side of his beak. I can't handle this anymore.

It might help to give him some electrolytes. If you have any Pedialyte or Gatorade (or similar sports drink) you can give him a drop of that. If not, here's an easy recipe with things you probably have in your kitchen: http://birdboard.com/forum/index.php/to ... %2BformulaHe's a handfed baby so take advantage of that. If you have any handfeeding formula left you can feed him that. He might not be able to open his beak wide enough to take a syringe but he can probably nibble it off a spoon. If you don't have handfeeding formula then oatmeal or mashed potatoes or any other warm mushy food will get some calories into him. Is there any chance your parents would let you take him to a vet?

I have baby formula. I'll tell you how feeding goes.
