Interesting collection.    One big omission.   An extra pair of hands or two.  

 

One to hold the patient, one to do the work, and one 'gofor'  all the stuff you suddenly find you need.

Germaline, eyebrow tweezers for pulling out feathers, old clean socks with toes cut out, sellotape, needle and cotton, scalpel for cutting away dead skin, plaster of paris strips from boots, iodine, lollypop sticks,'make good splints. scissors.

[Dodgy Trapper]

Have a small syringe with a rubber tube, for young squekers which need to be fed.

The rubber tubing goes down into the crop (less messy).

Also when you have to sow the crop area up i use Germalene product called new skin (its like nail varnish and heals up any holes.

I've had birds return after hitting wires, and even though water drained from the wound as they were drinking I left them to fend for themselves. The only treatment was to bathe the wound in mild anti septic and they went on to make a full recovery. Pigeons are very hardy and appear to tolerate easily what in humans would be life threatening injuries.
