•1. Try to keep bird quiet, flapping will make things worse

•2. Allow bleeding to stop on its own if possible

•3. Do not pack the shaft with septic powder, corn starch, or flower

•4. Contact veterinarian if bleeding won't stop

•5. If feather shaft is pulled, damage could occur to feather follicle or heavier bleeding could occur, pulling the feather out of the shaft hurts the bird, don't try it your self.
