Editing Pin feather (section)

==Pet care==
During moulting, a bird may get careless and begin to chew its feathers and might accidentally damage a blood feather. To prevent this, it is necessary that the bird is given [[chew toy|chewing toys]] so that it does not chew at its own feathers. Pin feathers are sensitive, and some pet birds do not enjoy being handled while moulting for this reason.<ref>[http://www.keepingchickensnewsletter.com/site/pin-feathers-blood-feathers-chicken-first-aid Bleeding - Blood Feathers - Chicken First Aid]</ref><ref>{{cite web| url=http://care4yourpets.com/|title= Pet Care Guide }} Saturday, 16 February 2019 </ref>

However, this can be difficult for a pet bird owner to do on a larger bird, so it is recommended owners have the necessary tools on hand in a first aid kit. If assistance is needed, the bird should be taken to a veterinarian as soon as possible.
