My budgie's blood feather won't stop bleeding. What should I do?

Question

Hello, my name is Kiona and I am a first time budgie bird owner. I notice my bird had a blood feather so me and my mother carefully took it out. I was wondering what should I do if it continues bleeding. Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Female

Poor Mango! If you have styptic powder, or something such as corn or potato starch, you can place it on the wound to help aid with stopping bleeding, however the removal of the blood feather itself should stop the bleeding. You can then keep the area clean and dry with a washcloth to help it heal. If you cannot remove the feather, or the bleeding is continuing even with care, it is best to seek veterinary care immediately as continued bleeding could lead to further complications or even death, and is considered a medical emergency.
