If the condition worsens as far as the actual wound goes,
you'll need to have it treated by an avian vet but the one
thing you shouldn't do is use any type of medicine that
contains any chemicals. A vet should be the one to name that
type of item. Right now, you should go to Walmart or any
pharmacy and pick up an item called Aloe Vera Gel. It's clear
and makes a good salve on exterior wounds. It has no
chemicals and if your bird should ingest it, it won't cause
any internal problems. A little of this ointment on the wound
and surrounding area every day will ease the itch of a wound
that's healing. It's soothing and the skin will benefit from
it. If the wound worsens, see a vet.
The bottle on the right side is what you should get. Make
sure the item says ONE HUNDRED PERCENT PURE-----Dave
