Bird Broke Off Part of Toenail and the Bleeding won't STOP! Help!

[csaylorchickens]

My aunt and grandmother raised canaries.  Whenever they were cutting toenails they always kept a lit cigarette nearby even though neither smoked.  If the toenail started to bleed, dipping the tip of the toenail quickly against the cigarette to cauterize it worked very well.  I saw them do it.  I did it myself when I raised canaries. 

That's a bit dramatic bit I guess it works I stay clear from ciggs all together lol

If you get the wick the bird will not bleed to.death lol

I can't stand cigarette smoke. I did get the bleeding to stop and Big Boy is doing really well! He does pick up the effected foot still as if it is bothering him (not bleeding), so I am guessing it is still sore.
