So you have a bird in your home. What could possibly go wrong?
A bird whose feathers have been stuck to an adhesive surface is a panicked and stressed bird. It’s important that a caregiver to caged bird be ready for such situations. How could my bird possibly get stuck onto the adhesive surface in my home? We’ve come up with a number of scenarios that can put your bird at risk.

Capiche? Making the assumption that a relationship with your bird will last decades, the possibility they may get entangled into some sort of this adhesive device is quite plausible. We can’t predict the outcome of every situation but we can provide solution should your bird feathers be stuck to – anything.
Safety Note: For those of you who are already equipped with a personal lubricant=> Personal lubricants should be water-based only, no silicone. They also should not be scented or flavored. Stick to the basics and all should be well.
Cooking oil will certainly help release your bird’s feathers from an adhesive surface. The obvious downside to cooking oil is that once the feathers get released from the adhesive you end up with an oil-soaked bird. That means you have a secondary cleanup to do on the bird using Dawn (the recommended detergent of ocean oil spill bird rescuers) further stressing out the animal.
The benefit in using a personal lubricant to separate a bird’s feathers from an adhesive surface is that personal lubricants are water-soluble. Thus easing the problem of a ‘secondary clean up”. With a brief rinse under lukewarm water, and your bird will be back to normal and make you crazy as always.
Is a safe for birds? We did some fact-checking on the ingredients: Glycerin, Water (Aqua), Carboxymethyl cellulose, Pentylene Glycol, Potassium Sorbate
Carboxymethyl cellulose is basically a thickener much like adding cornstarch to the gravy. It’s used in everything from ice cream to toothpaste as well as personal lubricants.
Pentylene Glycol is used as a preservative in cosmetics. Interestingly it’s both water and oil soluble and can have moisture-binding and antimicrobial properties.
Potassium Sorbate is found in products that are stored and eaten at room temperature. It actually keeps particles like mold or fungus that can cause foods to spoil and make people sick at bay. Winemakers use it so the wine can develop without yeast that would alter the flavor by eating the sugar content of the berries
You should know by now that was also pretty thorough and checked the efficacy of a product either ourselves or with another bird owner(s) before we offered to you. We’ll get the video loaded in the next couple of days but what we did was grabbed a couple of feathers from Popcorn our Tiel who happens to be molting now and placed them on the sticky surface of a moth trap We will tell you upfront, it’s not a slamdunk like Brazilian waxing.
You’ll want to let the lubricant soak into the feathers and glue for a minute or two just to allow whatever chemical reactions happening, to happen before the separation of the bird from the substrate can begin. Then we slowly peeled the feather away from the glue with a gooey finger separating the feather millimeter by millimeter and sliding it (my finger) between the feather and adhesive surface.
Understand upfront that once you’ve discovered your bird is something foreign stuck to it the problem is multidimensional. Firstly you want to do is stabilize the bird and calm it down. Talk to your bird when you know you’re there for him or her and that everything is going to be all right.
It would certainly be best when working with a live animal to have two people work as a team One to hold the toweled bird and the other one to pull the affected area out of the towel and begin the lubricant application.
The problem with emergencies is just that. They’re emergencies. It’s critical to have the presence of mind to have the tools necessary to make an emergency go away. To help you wrap your head around this we want you to keep this personal lubricant somewhere close where you’ll always know where it will be.
Should you decide to use this product as was intended, our suggestion is to keep it on the nightstand next to your bed so you’ll always know where it is. This way will also be conveniently available should you need a personal lubricant for an “alternative use”.
