First Aid
Accidents with birds do happen no matter how careful you are & there are some steps you can take to be prepared for an emergency.

Keep an avian first aid book handy. There are a few available online & will be full of information that can help you save your parrot.  Avian Vet List

Have a small travel cage or carrier handy at all times for any emergency trip to the vet. A smell pet carrier is handy for any sick bird that is unable to perch. It is solid & you can put a clean towel on the bottom of the carrier.
Ask your avian vet to show you how to handle small emergencies such as wounds, broken blood feathers or nails & injuries from other pets.

Keep a Bird First Aid Kit
You can either buy a ready made first aid kit or make up your own first aid kit. Most bought first aid kits come with a few essentials such as:
Scissors
Locking forceps
Iodine Antiseptic
Swabs
Antiseptic towelettes
Gauze pads
Cotton swabs
Case
Kit direction card
Styptic powder
Adhesive tape
Gloves
Hand wipes
Emergency card
The kits are small & easy to store away or take out anywhere with you. Most people who sell them also sell all replacement equipment as well as extras that are not normally included in the kit such as sprays. It is relatively easy to find these kits online however, if you live in Australia you may need to look at having the kit shipped from over seas since they’re rarely, if ever readily available here.
You can make you own kit up. Most people who do this use either a sewing box or tackle box.
Although larger in size, you can choice the size that would most suit you, you can hold more supplies in the kit including bottle sprays & solutions. These boxes can also come with compartments to make storing more organized & easier to access the supplies.

The average first aid kit can contain anything or all of these items:
Antibiotic ointment
Small gauze pads & bandages
Bottle water & spray solutions
Corn flour (in place of styptic powder)
Baby bird formula
Cotton balls & tips
Nail clippers
Needle nose pliers
Penlight & spare batteries
Small sharp scissors
Syringe without the needle
Small clean hand towel
Vet information
Mite/lice sprays & wormers
Aloe Detox formula or Aloe/water mixture
Eye & skin wash
Wire cutters
Magnifying glass
Pellets & seeds
Betadine or hibitane
Popsicle sticks
Avian first aid book
Liquid bandage (non-toxic)
Fluids for rehydrating
Small heating pad

My Home made first aid kit is a box I bought from Bunnings. It has 3 segments, a reasonable size to fit everything in except the aloe/water spray but I will adjust that by getting a slightly smaller bottle. I cut grooves in the dividers the thickness of the book so I can fit the book in the kit as well
