Fly Paper Help

[fgrouell]

One of my cockatiels, Jack has become wraped in fresh fly paper. Revenge fly paper allegdedly no poison or vapors. Jack was well wrapped in the paper. I have extract one from the other with special atten to the flight feathers. I don't think I have any bleeding. Jack was extremly excited. I have rinsed Jack with warm water, coated with peanut butter then vegetable oil as recomended on the label for clean ups. My concern at this point is ingestion. Will it stick in their crop?

did he eat it?

I know all too well about fly strips and I have fruit flies galore no matter how much I clean. If there are not toxins there wouldn't be poisening, but the glue I would worry about with the crop. If you know he didn't eat any I think he would be fine!

for future:

I found the fly TUBE bought at Rural King are the best for attracting them. You can also take an old cup and put fruit in the bottom of it (mushed up) and then take cling wrap and rubber band around the top then take a tooth pick and poke holes in it. It attracts them in an instant and then they get stuck in there!

Gotta get the oil and the peanut butter off of him though. Poor Jack. I am happy to hear he is acting ok.
