No, not really. I do wear thin gardening gloves & use small, very sharp scissors as getting through the poop can be quite difficult. Most of my girls are easily handled. I just put Ceres on some paper towel on the kitchen bench, which is a nice working height, with all the fluros on as I need all the light I can get. It took all of 5 minutes.
She didn't like it but was very good ~ & I think very relieved next time she had to take a poop.
OMG <333333 to pretty.
The neighbour puts a sock over their heads to handle them at night. It has the toe cut out to allow easy breathing. I can't decide if it's a kindness or a cruelty. I was planning to do Mary while she's on the roost, so perhaps a sock will help her be still without scaring her too much.No, not really.

Isn't she cute! She lays blue eggs too.
Soft leather ventilated hoods are best. You can get them for birds of prey.
Thanks for mentioning, i would never have thought of that.
Now where does one get those, I wonder?
I had thought of them but have no idea where you would locate them. I have known raptor handlers use a sock in an emergency but not as a regular thing....
Oooooo a spa day!
Amazon?Now where does one get those, I wonder?
they have everything else.
I hate that they have everything. I spent 3 hole weeks trying to find a place to get damn shirt stays in person and finnaly had to order from amazon. and realized amazons the reason i had no where to get them in person. I have issues getting mail through fedex etc where i am lol.Amazon?
