Why bandage birds? Many reasons wildlife
rehabilitators would want to bandage an avian patient
Birds are not small mammals!
Need to be familiar with these differences
Anatomy, feathers, pain response, and restraint

Why bandage birds?
To provide protection and support for an injured area
To cover wounds during the healing process
To immobilize a severe wound to allow better healing

Avian Anatomy
Understanding avian anatomy helps when applying bandages
There are many similarities to mammals
Certain unique structures have developed as adaptations to flight
![Page 8: Dr. Heather Reid Senior Veterinarian Toronto Wildlife ... · PDF fileFeathers and bandaging ... common bandaging techniques and the indications for their use .

Avian Anatomy Enlarged sternum with
flattened keel
Coracoids and clavicles
Fusion of the sacrum and thoracic vertebrae
Light skull
Lengthening and elimination of some bones of the wing

Avian Anatomy How to secure bandages What will be tolerated What joints need to be
immobilized How long do bandages stay in
place for Avian healing times more
rapid than mammals Problems with contracture of
tendons and loss of muscle Role of physiotherapy How birds injure themselves
in captivity and how to protect them

Feathers
Feathers affected by wounds and injuries
Wound exudate contaminates feathers
Pull don’t cut feathers
Consider anesthesia
Avian skin tears easily, use caution
![Page 11: Dr. Heather Reid Senior Veterinarian Toronto Wildlife ... · PDF fileFeathers and bandaging ... common bandaging techniques and the indications for their use .

Feathers Primary feathers - Feathers located
along the metacarpal are called primaries. These are the long flight feathers. Most birds have 9 – 10 primaries.
Secondary feathers - Feathers located along the ulna are called secondaries. These are the inner flight feathers. Most birds have 9 -25 secondaries.
Tertiary feathers – Feathers located along the humerus are called tertiaries. These are the inner-most flight feathers, closest to the body. Most birds have 3-4 tertiaries.
Coverts – The row of contour feathers that cover the base of the flight feathers are known as primary coverts and secondary coverts

Feathers and bandaging
Minimize damage to the feathers
Include the appropriate feathers
Avoid leaving residue on feathers (sticky or oily)
Use tape that won’t pull feathers
Remove tape in direction of feather growth
Avoid tight bandages
![Page 14: Dr. Heather Reid Senior Veterinarian Toronto Wildlife ... · PDF fileFeathers and bandaging ... common bandaging techniques and the indications for their use . Carpal bumper bandage](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070606/5a9767b67f8b9aba4a8cf1aa/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Wound management Wound management is an
important part of bandaging Similar principles as mammal
treatments Clean area, remove feathers
carefully Can use tape to hold feathers
back Dilute chlorhexidine for
contaminated wounds Flush with warm saline Apply antimicrobial like
Flamazine or Polysporin ointment
![Page 15: Dr. Heather Reid Senior Veterinarian Toronto Wildlife ... · PDF fileFeathers and bandaging ... common bandaging techniques and the indications for their use .

Wound management
Avian patients will present a range of injuries
Cuts and lacerations
Open fractures
Burns
Husbandry related problems (such as bumblefoot)
![Page 16: Dr. Heather Reid Senior Veterinarian Toronto Wildlife ... · PDF fileFeathers and bandaging ... common bandaging techniques and the indications for their use . Carpal bumper bandage](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070606/5a9767b67f8b9aba4a8cf1aa/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Wound management How the wound is
treated will depend on:
the area affected
the species
the type of wound
the frequency of
treatment
the stage in wound
healing
![Page 17: Dr. Heather Reid Senior Veterinarian Toronto Wildlife ... · PDF fileFeathers and bandaging ... common bandaging techniques and the indications for their use .

Pain management Pain management needs to
be included in your treatment protocols
Handle fractures gently
Changing bandages and flushing wounds can also cause pain to the patient
For painful procedures consider doing the procedure under anesthesia.
![Page 20: Dr. Heather Reid Senior Veterinarian Toronto Wildlife ... · PDF fileFeathers and bandaging ... common bandaging techniques and the indications for their use . Carpal bumper bandage](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070606/5a9767b67f8b9aba4a8cf1aa/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Pain management
Pain medications are an important part of treatment plan
Common pain medications include NSAIDs (meloxicam) and opiod agonists (tramadol)
Supportive care - keep the bird warm, dry and clean
Ensure the bandage is not the cause of the pain
![Page 21: Dr. Heather Reid Senior Veterinarian Toronto Wildlife ... · PDF fileFeathers and bandaging ... common bandaging techniques and the indications for their use . Carpal bumper bandage](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070606/5a9767b67f8b9aba4a8cf1aa/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Pain management Birds may not show pain in
the same way as domestic mammals
Evolved to minimize behaviours that would lead to predation
Increased heart rate and respiratory rate
Escape reactions Vocalizing Decreased movement Increased movement
Decreased appetite Weight loss Reduction in social
grooming Sitting away from the flock Decreased chattering Guarding behaviour Aggressiveness Excessive grooming or
picking at an area Other changes in normal
behaviour

Restraint Birds need to be properly
restrained for their safety and for the safety of the handler.
This is particularly true when working with larger birds such as raptors.
Proper restraint also ensures that the bandage can be applied properly

Restraint In many cases the
preferred method of restraint is anesthesia
Allows painful procedures to be carried out
Allows for better outcome
Ideal for high-stress birds

Bandaging supplies Before starting the bandaging process be sure to have
all your supplies on hand
Avian bandages need to be light but supportive
Use the minimal amount of material to decrease the weight
Try lighter weight substitutions – Tegaderm is a good alternative to conventional bandaging material
Tape selected should not be too sticky or leave residue on the feathers
Bandages need to stay in place without too much tape

warm saline flush
hydrocellular adhesive dressings (e.g. duoDERM)

The patagium Elastic skin that stretches
from the proximal humerus to the carpal
The patagial tendon is present along the leading edge
Wounds can create scar tissue
Bandages that are too tight can damage patagium
Tendon can contract if wing is flexed for too long
No longer than 5 days!

Changing bandages Bandages should be
changed regularly
If the bandage is covering a wound, then the bandage may need to be changed daily.
Any bandage that is wet or soiled or is causing discomfort to the bird should be changed immediately.

Fractures
The basic rules of fractures management apply to birds.
Immobilize the joint above and below the fracture.
Cannot stabilize fractures of the humerus or the femur by bandaging
![Page 35: Dr. Heather Reid Senior Veterinarian Toronto Wildlife ... · PDF fileFeathers and bandaging ... common bandaging techniques and the indications for their use .

Fractures Wounds need to be
managed.
Antibiotics and pain medications need to be administered.
Cage rest and restricted activity is recommended for at least 3 weeks.
Need to change bandage every 5 days!

Fractures Bandages and splints can
be used to immobilize a fracture
Depending on the bone and the type of fracture, this may be sufficient treatment.
Other times the bandaging is used to stabilize the fracture before surgery
