Last night her wing was bleeding. One of the new blood feathers (primary) was coming in and it bent and started bleeding.

I got it to clot and put her back. Today I find her dry, but still bloody.

I consulted a bird owner and they said she would bleed to death unless I pulled it. But if I pull it the wrong way she'll bleed to death anyway.

So I pulled it.

When I pulled it blood spurted everywhere. It's all over the desk, floor, me, and the computer screen. She seems fine now though.

Wow! I didn't realize bird could have such problems!
What kind of bird is Dandelion?
