Wolf wrote:Yeah, I have been thinking about this since I replied and I don't think it is a good idea for the bird to be cleaning the wax off of itself. I know that you took it to a vet, but was this an avian vet? If not I think you should try one, they should have a way to remove the wax and probably give you some antibiotics to prevent infections from the burns.


Yes, Wolf is right. It is just cruelty to let him suffer when he depends on you.
