A bird trapped in glue: How exotic vets handle a sticky emergency
In short: When a bird named Macho encounters a fly trap, his owners turn to Dr. K and Dr. T for help. This video follows the urgent care process as the team attempts to safely remove adhesive material from the bird's feathers at a specialized exotic animal hospital.
Dr. Susan Kelleher operates the Broward Avian and Exotics Animal Hospital in South Florida. Her practice is known for treating a wide variety of non-traditional pets, including rabbits, reptiles, birds, foxes, ferrets, fish, marsupials, and primates. Her guiding philosophy is to treat any animal that can fit through the hospital door, excluding only dogs and cats.
