My cockatiel had one once. There was just two drops of blood and before I had time to think how to grab him and pull it, he did it himself. He made the same little yelp and he was sore a day or so in his wing but good as new.
The Bird of Cthulu is summoned by the blood feather, which is dropped by parrots with a 25% chance, during a pirate invasion. The Bird of Cthulu is a giant bird with 25000 HP, dealing lots of damage easily. While the blood feather can be used as soon as you have defeated the pirate invasion, it is not recommended to fight the boss until you have post plantera gear.
@@Yeetbloxian I like that idea, maybe make it the Raven King; a Halloween-exclusive boss. He can only be summoned at night in a graveyard using the blood feather. The blood feather has a 6.66% drop chance from Ravens. (or were they crows? I don't remember lol).
@@Yeetbloxian graveyards make more sense given the spooky bird theme. Also graveyards can technically be infinitely big, because it's an artificial biome.
For people who dont understand, the feather NEEDED to be taken out because the cockatiel was bleeding and birds dont have much blood as humans so they can die of bleeding. So please stop trying to say it was horrible, when it was for the cockatiel's life
Good job, guys. Saved that little dude’s life. Also, can we talk about this: Bird: *squeaks* Everyone in the video: “awww🥺” I just love how in sync it was.
@@havefuntazarasu5367 the bird would have bled to death because the feather has a crack or something and the bird is bleeding and the feather prevents it from healing. By pulling the feather out it allows the wound to heal
For everyone wondering, blood feathers are normal they’ll happen a few times in a birds life. They get them by crashing into things, or falling. You have to find the feather that is bleeding, and pull it out to stop the bleeding. If you don’t, then the bird can bleed to death very fast because they don’t have a lot of blood to begin with. It might hurt them for a second, but it saves their lives.
Because no one else seems to be saying it: GOOD JOB! You did it fast and clearly only caused the pain that was necessary to fix the situation! You're obviously a good owner and it shows
@lillys moref dude most birds DIE before they reach the vet because of the crazy wait times. If you know what you're doing, better to just do it then let the bird die a painful death
Here are some lessons: 1. Feathers have been used for quills for untold centuries because they can wick up ink and then the pressure against paper extrudes it again. 2. Feathers are connected to a birds circulatory system. They NORMALLY don't flood with blood because when they are healthy and undamaged, they will not actually wick up the blood. 3. That only works if the feather is UNdamaged. If there is a break or crack in the feather's shaft, that feather is now acting like an open tube in an artery. The blood will not stop. The skin at the base is mostly or completely undamaged so it can't close the wound (since it's in the feather). The *feather* has no structures to stop blood loss. Result: bird bleeds to death. Solution:... THIS. Pull out the feather, the skin seals up, blood loss stops. Bird lives. These people are caring and awesome and saved the bird's life. Absolutely amazing people!! They did it as quickly as possible to make it as painless as possible.
@@wavemade2313 Yes. It's like when blood doesn't coagulate under certain conditions and even a superficial wound, if it doesn't stop, can lead to serious problems. Another example would be a little wound after some teeth extraction. If there's bacteria surrounding the wound, no matter how little the wound may be or how little the bacteria are, that entrance will lead directly to the brain and cause devastating damage. It's sort of like that one "thread" that, if pullen out, can cause the entire "cloth" to dismantle. I had a situation years ago where, after an accident playing sports, I got a small fracture in my hand, but back then, since it was only general check-ups, it was looked as something light. Months later that same year, I started having these frequent and more intense pains in my left arm's wrist. I went to a specialist with my family and this time, I took a resonance test (which allows for a completely clean view on bones, which regular check-ups fail because there's a lot of other organic material, like muscles, and what-not, that doesn't allow for a clear view). The results were a small, yet growing fracture on a specific part of the wrist. So, normally, when a bone breaks, it is capable of regenerating by making contact with the part that is supposed to have been connected with. However, here's the catch: The regenerative process can only be acomplished if the two ends make contact, which wasn't the case with the little fracture I had, since there was a considerable hole in-between that wasn't filled with bone tissue, so instead of getting better, the parts kept distancing from each other. That's why, since I'm left-handed, whenever I wrote, my hand started to hurt. Back then, I was in my last year of high school, and months passed without me getting a surgery to fill in the gap in-between the injury. Basically, it was a slight pain initially, but then it escalated to the point where I was in such a pain that I almost literally lost my last year of high school because of my inability to write. It was that bad. Eventually, surgery happened and it hurt like hell, but managed to get through it, though, my wrist isn't exactly as "mobile" as before, but, I mean, better that than losing my mobility altogether, right?😅 Anyway, I brought it up as an experience I wanted to share and let you know that the biggest things always start small, and with this little birdy-pal there's no exception! God bless you and I hope that what I've said enriches your knowledge!❤💙🤍💫🕊
@@jonathancarrion0809XXI ty for the knowledge!!! I didnt know and wouldnt have guessed that bone needed to touch even though that does make sense once explained 💗💗
@@ThirrinDiamond No problem! For the most part, it's like glue; you'd need to put both ends as closely as possible. Otherwise, either it doesn't heal properly or at all.
You can clearly tell how well taken care of that burd is, they can absolutely bite hard enough to draw blood. All the burd did was a little nervous nibble, it was well behaved and had plenty of time and room to refuse getting it pulled out. You did it fast and efficiently while still being gentle and trying to calm it as much as possible. Good job saving your bird’s life
My mom had a cockatiel that mostly nibbled, but he was very gentle. If only my nephew had learned to leave his cage alone, he would have been at our house for a long time.
y’all realize that was the right feather? it was clearly bent/broken which can cause the developing feather to bleed. blood feathers don’t just start randomly bleeding unless they’re damaged
So i need some help with my bird,so please answer me of you know anything! I have two male Indian ringnecks, one of them started to molt in January and his molting was pretty quick, however the other one one started molting 4 months ago and still hasn't stopped,well i don't know if he's molting ,I'm afraid it's actually plucking. I saw his behavior slowly changing during his molting , i know molting can cause a lot of stress but he's still stressed now, I'm afraid he's plucking his feathers because it's only on his chest and tail. The thing that worries me the most is that he plucks out his tail feathers to the point of bleeding, the other bird is fine and they're used to their environment and have good food, but i think the molting started to stress him a lot and he can't recover anymore. Please help me I'm lost and i don't want him to suffer anymore. Thank you
@@icowwol2147 i think the birds should go to the vet and get some antibiotics thats all i can do man and also try to cure the wounds with thyme tea (if they have any wounds)
@@JustaDislikeButton how would you react if a giant hairless animals picked you up restrained your movement and ripped out part of you for the situation the bird was calm
Well it’s wings are clipped and they didn’t clip the wings correctly so that’s how they got a blood feather. It is animal abuse because your not supposed to clip their wings.
Anyone else notice how the bird seems slightly less freaked out after the feather is pulled? Like, after the small scream it just looks around like- "Wait, why DID you do that?"
Blood feathers for everyone asking are broken or damaged feathers. Basically their feathers work similar to the human arteries where they push blood in and through them. This is the same reason they can be used to write as the empty tube where the blood is stored also holds ink well hence the quill feather. The issue is, that birds circulatory systems push blood through quick, and they're small so there isn't much blood to be had, so when a feather breaks it will continue to bleed until it is removed which can cause the poor bird to bleed out and die in as little as half an hour or even much much less depending on the severity of the break and number of breaks. If you see your bird bleeding from it's feathers, do what this guy did identity the broken feather and quickly but sharply pull and remove the feather. It will hurt the bird, but can and will save his lil life. Hope that clears things up!
I'm scared this will happen to my bird because he doesn't like to be handled the same way as the bird in the video and will bite the hell outta anyone who tries
for everyone wondering where all the stupid "animal justice" comments actually are, its the classic feedback loop of being flooded with backlash, then deleting the comment
Birb not pleased, not happy, is angry: *Does not bite human hard enough to pierce skin* Me: Birb loves his human Edit: Forgot I commented here and hot damn…it exploded…with a comment war to boot. Cockatiels can be trained not to bite. I had one who would attack my hand when I held a spoons, lipstick, Hatsume Miku, and my Xbox controller; doing the head motions, beak open, but never pinched or touched my skin; an air bite. There’s even a RU-vid video of a cockatiel doing the same when another birb was being given scratches. It is possible
@@smoke8715 why are you butthurt moron ? Your comment expressed nothing except that you're another douchebag who writes these cancerous comments...idiot
Yeah, every cockatiel we've owned we allowed to basically have an open cage (closed it when opening house doors of course just in case), they were pretty well behaved and always came back to their cage. ...but... Every time I stuck my hand in there to clean the cage they would bite the shit out of me. Break the skin every single time, they'd make you bleed like a stuck pig. We tried to tame them, they would fly around, land on us, we'd think "oh cool, they finally trust us" as they snuggle on our neck... *BITE EARLOBE* "Son of a bitch!!!" getting up bleeding from ear, hanging on like a predator that just found it's dinner. Yeah, no. The cockatiel phase did not last long. We later got some finches. Those were cool birds.
I just think it’s hilarious that all the people in the comments talking about how they’re cruel for taking out this feather clearly don’t know anything about birds. Guys it’s OK to not be educated on something but don’t try to demonize people just because you don’t understand.
The people who talked about taking out the feather being wrong were in the previous era of this comment section so we’re shoved to the bottom of comments, we are now in the wiser era of a comment section
It's funny the feather might have been pulled in the wrong spot. You're supposed to grab the base near the skin and pull from there otherwise you create a straw where blood pools out. I don't think they got the base out in the video but I'm sure they did after the filming. It should be said to grab the base of the feather, not the tip, or you have a good chance of not getting the whole thing out.
Notice how she was biting and acting up leading up to the blood feather being removed, then settled right down afterwards. I know nothing about birds but I can tell that was relieving for her.
Poor bugger, that wee yelp. I had a cockatiel as a kid, used to shout “Ya fucker” at people and animals he didn't like. His replacement didn't swear sadly but I taught him to say “tits”. RIP Casper and Casper II.
@@theguythatasked5811 both lovely birds, they both liked to be handled and sit on my shoulder. Not sure why I've never had one as an adult to be honest, though I have three cats that like to hunt so it probably isn't the best idea. I couldn't leave a bird in a cage constantly.
sometimes people will call anything animal abuse and it's sad because there's so much actual abuse that needs to be stopped but people are focusing on stuff like this. if it hurts the animal short term but prevents a very dangerous condition it's not abuse, it's caring for your animal properly.
I once saw an idiot say that these owners of a cat with a medical condition that causes weight gain, abusers even though they cant control it and have been trying to do everything they can to help their cat lose weight. Some people toss words around so much, so idiotic.
These guys did really good. The biting was probably a reaction to the fact that was in pain and bleeding out. And he doesn't exactly have a lot of blood to spare. They talked to the bird calmly to help keep him calm, held him so that he wasn't moving too much, and quickly removed the bent and broken feather that was obviously causing him a lot of pain. I'm sure the pain was like pulling out a sticker that you've stepped on and jammed deep into your foot. It hurts for a little bit, but after a while the spot heals up and the bird is perfectly fine. To leave the obviously damaged feather there would have absolutely been abuse. They did this in the most painless way possible and saved the little bird's life. Way to go
At first I didn’t understand……….I thought you were hurting it!!!!! WOW!!!! I didn’t know such things 🙄 Which is WHY it’s important to watch to the end before jumping off the proverbial cliff. Thank you for fixing that naughty feather 🪶!!!
Y'all stop saying "He pulled out the wrong one", this video has been posted 3 year ago and the owner said that the bird is fine and alive. If it was the wrong one the bird would've died and this video wouldn't be posted.
How exactly do we know it's the wrong feather though? The one her pulled looked out of place on the bird, I'm not an expert. I'm just asking for clarification.
@@bluhearts5216 people are saying it was a bent feather but not a blood feather, so they didn’t pull out the thing causing the blood but they pulled a feather that wasn’t really supposed to be there anyway
The fact he didn't bite you hard enough to make you bleed even when he was in pain and scared shows just how much he trusted you. Thankyou for dealing with this quickly and efficiently
@@nitrogenjutsu5178 I like to think that every time an animal makes a yelping type of sound that sounded sad, their actually saying a curse word or "Look where you're standin' f××khead!" Type of talk lol
A mercenaries comes in to the Witch's shop... Mercenaries : Excuse me, I'd just collected 12 blood feather from the dozen of Giant Blood Owl corpses from the Deep Haunt Forest...Were these quest items enough to fulfill the rewards? Witch : I said Magical Feather from the Mythical Griffin, not THAT!...No...Keep searching that ACTUAL quest items...🤦🏻♀️ (FYI : This is just a joke...)
You could tell the bird trusts the humans because he’s not fighting all that hard. They did a good job of working as quickly as they could while still being gentle.
@lillys moref I made a troll remark to you in another thread but here I'll be serious cause it's worth the knowledge. First and foremost most birds shouldn't be pets. Imagine living in a single room house that's just big enough for your whole life. It would drive you insane. There are, however, birds that have been domesticated enough that can tolerate it and honestly it's fine to have them as pets. I'm thinking more exotic birds. Anywho that's neither here nor there cause I'm rambling. Now on to clipping wings. If your bird is pretty docile and well trained then yeah you probably don't need to clip the wings. But here's some legit reasons as to why you should and actually which ones. If you have ceiling fans and you want to let your bird out to explore a bit. If they are injured and need to rest. If they are a non native species and there's a risk of them flying away. And probably some other reasons that I don't want to keep going on with. When I had I quaker parrot I would clip his wings cause he'd like to explore around when I let him out of his cage. To actually keep him safe his wings were clipped cause I would regularly have the ceiling fans going and he legit flew the blades once and nearly gave me a heart attack. Now back to clipping wings. You should never clip the entire wing. Even if you know what you are doing. All you have to do is clip a couple of the feathers on each side of the inside of the wing known as the flight feathers. These feathers are far more important for flight. By clipping only a couple you don't necessarily take away the full power of flight but rather make it more difficult for them. They usually can gain a bit of height but tire out quickly as it's more of a chore for them to keep aloft. Also you only clip the inside of the wing because cosmetically it looks better. When they have their wings to their side it looks normal still. Only when they spread their winds should it be noticable but just barely if you did a good job.
Human was gentle, he did not force the bird to be handled, you can see the bird had plenty of chance to get out of his grasp. Bird did not like being handled, yet knew it was for a reason. Bird. For those bring politics into this, it has nothing to do with that. People get bored and have no understanding of handling an animal, and are looking for attention so they get pointlessly mad and other people that didnt think of what they said first follow along for likes
I’ve studied small animal care, I can tell you that they pulled the wrong feather and could have caused the bird harm. They didn’t do any research, clearly, as they’d know that wasn’t the correct feather if they had. :)
@@amtadoptmetrades6024 I mean if you’d like to see my qualifications I’m more than happy to post a public picture and give you the link honey, I’m more than aware what I’m talking about. :)
@@lollol-el8oy she's only qualified on Twitter they do know what they're doing and they did remove the correct feather the feather they removed was a blood feather, it's a feather that's still growing and has blood in it, the feather got damaged if they did not remove the feather the bird could have bled out and died the bent feather that everyone saw is also damaged but it's nothing serious and its common on birds who are allowed to fly around in there homes
I keep seeing people say "for those of you who think it's the wrong feather.." And honestly just wanna know what other feather they could possibly have pulled out
It was clearly the wrong feather, birds are a conspiracy by the government to spy on us, blood feathers are actually made to contain blood samples from their attacks, so you can see the blood on the inside cause they are like glass vials smh.
Actually not from infection but from bleeding out , a bird will die if the broken blood feather isn't removed cause a growing feather has direct connection to the birds blood stream but after the feather if done growing the vain seals itself and the shaft forms blockage inside that prevents anymore blood from entering.
This bird gently resisting while having a broken feather plucked: ouch 🥺 My birds when I try to gently lift them to get them into their travel cage: screaming like I'm murdering them, biting through my gauntlet I have to wear to protect myself. They're very young and untamed, but we're making progress.
Amazing news! I gave my boy a dry mealworm and he was so bewitched by that crunchy treat that he forgot about my fingers and actually nibbled on them to get every crumb 🤣
@lillys moref actually no this kind of bird when it bites can do a lot of damage it was just reacting uncomfortably if it was being hurt or wanted to bite the guy his finger would be in pieces
My dad had a Bird that fell asleep in his hands, i was around 2 or 3 when My cousin brought his cat and when he Saw his cat in My dad's room, he Freed the bird so the cat could eat it.
I love how gentle and reassuring everyone was, amazing to see great teamwork, even the tiel behaved very well! Hope it got lots of treats for it's trouble and recovered well!
"Be firm, he's not a baby" All he is doing is reassuring him that he is in good hands. I always talk calmly with my pets when they are in pain or scared.
If time is a factor it is cruel to risk the pets life by cuddle and reassuring it. Cuddles can be given when the life is saved. Birds don't have much blood to lose. Maybe the owner just loves their oyets more than you do. I always prioritize saving lives my self. Cuddling comes second.
@@idamelisen so you're telling me that you don't know a thing about birds and how fast they bleed out? Ok message received. But some of us actually do care about our pets and educate our selves on what they need.
i like how everyone says “aww 🥺” after he made that squeak. you can tell they love and have compassion for it, people like that usually have compassion for all life ❤️🌎🐾
before anyone freaks out, the bird damaged their blood feather, it’s a feather connected straight to a vein, and they will bleed to death if it is damaged. if your bird has a fine blood feather, leave it alone. if it is broken, take it out immediately. it will hurt for a quick bit, but it’s much better than dying
Poor little birdie looks so scared and in pain, but clearly trusts you enough to not bite too hard or struggle too much. You're doing really good work.
@@vinnyvv. the right one is a Pin feather (Newly grown feather) it has a vein inside the shaft that causes the bleed. Trust me the feather he pulled was a bent one and wasn’t even covered with blood enough for it to be the cause and do not have any vains in them anymore and got pulled out Easily because it’s a fully grown feather.
Everyone: Saying that taking out blood feather like this is a totally normal thing, and for people to stop saying that he is being cruel Me: where’s the comments saying anything about him being cruel or doing anything wrong
