Half-Naked Bird is Sunburning. What can I do to help?

I personally don't feel that picking a large bird (or any bird really) up by the wings is a good idea, but that's just my opinion.

We did have to move her from the vehicle to her new enclosure, and we opted to put a blanket over her and carry her, fully supporting her weight, and there was far less struggling and squawking than when she was lifted by her wings. It was her struggling when being lifted by her wings by the previous owner that caused me to really worry about her breaking a wing.

Your way is definitely better.
