Lee C 55 Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Hi all I fed my harris up on a bit of pheasant with the head on Tuesday and just noticed he had a yellow scaly tongue that I thought looked like frounce so off to the vets. On closer inspection he had a ring that had gone bad tightly wrapped around the base of his tounge. This was one of the small bands of the trackier wind pipe of the pheasant that had slipped over his tounge and stuck fast like an elastic band cutting the blood supply. He is not out of the wood and my loose the tounge. Please all check your birds mouths in the next few days as I feel so bad I did not notice this any earlier. Check check and check again !!! All the best Lee c Quote Link to post

No sh*t ! Always seems to happen to me my llast bird didn't even make it to me! He got hit by a car the day before collection. The breeder a friend was getting him going while I finished the aviary off. Sh*t luck or what !! All the best Lee Quote Link to post

He is at fat weight so will slowly bring him down slowly and get him flying again. He will be left with a small kink in his tounge, small price to pay the vet say a couple more days and we would have lost the tounge. Excellent vet Ian Fitzgerald at staverton near daventry. He does running dogs as well and would highly recommend him as he was recommended to me. Hope you all have a good season Best wishes Lee Quote Link to post
