Small psittacine birds

Handling the smaller species of psittacine

birds (Budgerigars,

lovebirds and grass parakeets) present f

ew

special problems other than those of

capturing small

birds in large cages and of minor yet

painful bites. Most

are pet birds presented within a c a g e that

is usually full

of toys a n d perches, and capture is made

easier by the

removal of t h e s e impediments.

Frequently the cage

will contain several birds and care must be

taken to

prevent their escape during and after

capture of t he

target bird. Whenever possible, darkness

(as described

above) is especially useful to assist the

capture of small

birds in cages.

The use of a small, soft cloth, as described

previously,

will prevent the handler being bitten. With

experience

and confidence it will be f o u n d that many

Budgerigars, especially tame pets and

trained exhibition

birds, and most grass parakeets are easy

to

capture with bare hands. Once captured,

birds can be

handled for examination or for t he

performance of

simple procedures using the 'ringer's grip'

(Figure 4.2).

The bird's neck is held, within the cloth,

between t he

first two fingers and its wings and body are

gently

restrained with t he closed hand.

Psitcidos

Mynahs and ramphastids

Handling

Mynahs and toucans can be loud, active

and

aggressive, particularly if untamed. Tame

birds that are not given sufficient attention

may become also very aggressive towards

their keepers. The birds are best restrained

by

initially removing them from the enclosure

with a net or large towel. A toucan can then

be

controlled by holding the beak in one hand

and using a towel loosely wrapped around

the body to control the wings and feet.

Toucans should never be handled by the

head

and neck alone (Cornelissen and Ritchie,

1994). A mynah can be controlled by

holding

the head gently between the thumb and

first

finger, with or without a towel.

Blood collection and injection sites

These are the same as described for the

smaller passerines and for other birds (see

Chapter 5).

Large birds, like Macaws, can be caught

using a net, towel and gloves. Capture

should be fast and safe to avoid stress and

injury to the bird, with minimal handling.

When using a net to capture a Macaw the

correct method is to make sure that the

bird is all of the way into the bottom of the

net. The net can then be tilted to prevent

the bird from escaping. Once the bird is in

the net its long tail can be used as a

second handle to keep the bird in the net.

Most Macaws, when netted, do not

struggle. The Large Macaws (1995)

Macaws can be restrained by having a firm

grip around the back of the neck, with the

thumb and fore finger of one hand

restricting the movement of the head and

holding the wings folded against the body

with the other hand, so that the primary

feathers and feet are restrained. To help

with restraining the Macaw, a towel can be

wrapped around the body to immobilize the

bird and assist the wings and feet from

getting free. One of the most important

things to remember when restraining a

Macaw is to not let it manipulate its beak

out from your grip as it will turn around and

bite you. A Guide to Macaws (2003), Bird

Care 1 Class Notes (2004) Macaws are

from the parrot family and are very

intelligent birds. When dealing with tame

Macaws the process can be easier. This

can be done by training the bird with food

rewards to get it to go in and out of a

transport box on its own without the fear of

being harmed in the process.

Falconiformes

Manual restraint is necessary to reduce the

stress for the falcon during handling,

examination and sample taking. Moreover,

the fixation of a raptor prevents the

veterinary

staff from being grabbed, bitten and

eventually injured. Nevertheless, before

any restraint, the

falcon should be observed in its

physiological position and behavior.

Restraint can be performed by grabbing

the falcon. One person stands behind the

falcon

and holds his hands next to the wings. The

thumbs point towards the backbone of the

falcon

and the second and third finger point

upright. The other two fingers are held

towards the

ventral side of the bird (Figure 6.1).

Grabbing has to be done careful but

energetic enough

that the falcon cannot escape the hands.

The second finger points upright to the

wing tips.

The center of the hand palm of the handler

is positioned over the joint of humerus and

radius

and ulna. The last two fingers hold the

falcons feet (Figure 6.2). Another fixation method is the wrapping

method as falcons can be restraint with a

towel

as well. The towel is wrapped around the

wings and then closed on the ventral side.

This

method of restraint can also be used for

falcons when waking them up. This

wrapping method

should be used only for a few minutes.

Wrong handling can lead to fractured

wings or legs. Moreover, too tight catching

of the

falcon can result in respiratory arrest if too

much pressure is put on the lung and

airsac

region. Pressure on the abdominal part can

result in liver damage. Furthermore,

falcons

should never be transported while being

restraint as this will lead to maximum

stress for the

bird, hyperventilation and in the worst case

death of the falcon.

We have never utilized dedicated shift or trap cages to manage our ramphastids at

Riverbanks. These heavy-bodied birds

tend to fly in a relatively straight line, and

as such they are not difficult to net if you

are quick-of-hand. All of our enclosures

have been designed or modified to

accommodate their tendency to fly into

barriers and to minimize the potential for

damage. However, the possibility of injury

during catch-up still exists. Our policy is to

catch them up only when absolutely

necessary, and to minimize the time taken

to do so.
