Yellow skin around wound


My parakeet has some wounds on his head from my other parakeet from when they fought and the skin around the wound is a yellowish color. Also the wound is not very recent. What does yellow on the skin near a wound indicate?


Answer:

Hi,

This could be bruising or it could be infection. Any time a bird has a wound, it should be taken to a Vet to be treated. I would never put these birds together again, or the other bird may kill this one next time.

Thank you for asking Lafeber,

Brenda
