Scratch that last question, the Guinea sling worked and he is now dangling from the roof of a cage In a towel sling with a birdie straight jacket on underneath
Since we already have this thread started... Any suggestions for a broken wing with a peacock? I had vet wrap around it to hold it in place like I always do when chickens or ducks or guineas or even turkeys get broken legs or wings but apparently peacocks are a lot stronger and more psycho then...
I wouldn't call it solved but at least I know I've tried every possible thing I could. I know it sounds like it but I swear I don't abuse my peacocks haha..... Just extrodinarily bad luck and maybe God telling me to pick a new hobby

I think it's about time I gave up. I made a small incision with a scalpel to try and get the puss out right at the top of where the hardness was and he started bleeding like crazy. It soaked through the paper towel and everytime u wiped it away it was pouring down his face again before u could...
