fly tape

New designer fly tape! Enlarge the image to view the plucked feathers of a Carolina Wren that became attached. While the bird struggled to free itself from the glue, the left foot became stuck to the left wing. The left wing is swollen( possibly broken). I did not want to further stress the patient after carefully bathing the bird. We used a solution to remove the glue off the few remaining feathers.
This is a horrible device cost only $2.50. The cost to the bird most likely will be it’s life.
