Today's polish was extra sparkly. This one came from a mystery bag so I don't have an official description from the maker, but to me it looks like an iridescent microflake with some scattered holo as well. I loved how this one looked in all lighting. I don't feel like I was able to capture the Holo sparkle in my pictures, but it was definitely there in the sun. This is It's Hard to be a Diamond in a Rhinestone World from Wildflower Lacquer.

60 Nasty Household Hazards Birds Shouldn't Be Around
I hope the post on the Ultimate Bird DIY First Aid Kit will become part of your avian reference library.
We're going to break down the first aid thing into several manageable parts.
Before we do here’s a pop quiz: What was the cashier at Walgreens thinking when I bought Pedialyte, saline, eyewash, plastic gloves & a tube of KY Jelly? (for the birdy first aid kit?)
We designed the ultimate bird first aid kit for a broad range of species, so you don’t need everything in it.
As an example you really need a needle nose pliers to pull of blood feather from a blue and gold macaw, but only a strong tweezers for smaller bird like a parakeet.
Everyone likes to think of themselves as being prepared for disaster and life’s certain cuts and scrapes.
I’ve personally sutured a dog in a garage (after 5 minutes of training by my vet :-)
I’ve yanked shards of glass out of more than one dogs paw and gotten many dogs and children bandaged over the years.
Sutures are easy to come by if your vet is a fellow musher but for the most part most dog, and I presume cat medical emergencies, can be treated with a human first aid kit.
Removing a little fur left on the paw in the haste to get a wound bandaged, is something a dog will get over pretty quickly.
Cutting off feathers is only a last resort.
It’s also important to note that a bird first aid kit is really there to help either stabilize a bird in an emergency or be able to begin the healing process for minor injury.
As a rule of thumb, if you think for a second, that your bird needs veterinary care - it does!
By now you’re asking yourself the nagging question.
“Do I really need all this stuff, what could possibly happen my bird?” Well, we thought of that too.
Here’s our list of 41 ways we kill or injure our pets birds - additions welcome.
Let’s start with the basics.
Do you have all the necessary phone numbers in an easily accessible area like on your refrigerator door?
You’ll want emergency veterinary numbers and perhaps even directions to the vet clinic, how about the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at 888-426-4435 (A $65 consultation fee may apply).
Yep, we’ll be talking about poisons and poison control in the future.
Next, the first of many reasons that birds are different than cats and dogs when experiencing even the smallest of medical trauma.
Always follow this plan if your bird or parrot is injured.
Prevent
Prevent further injury.
If your bird is caught on a toy, cut the toy out of the bird cage and then get the bird released from the toy or accessory.
Restraint
Get the bird restrained, larger birds should be toweled.
Stabilize
Calm the bird.
Talk to it, gently stroke it while assessing the injury.
Treat
Treat what you can using methods described below.
Warmth
Ensure your bird has additional heat (heating pad, hot water bottler, cage panel heater) so it doesn't waste calories warming itself.
Transport
If you think the bird needs a vet, this would be the time to go.
As an example, let’s say a bird gets it’s leg band caught in a bird cage accessory breaking its tibiotarsal (shin bone).
In this scenario, a bird has a higher chance of dying from stress than from the injury itself.
This is why you will want to stabilize the bird before tending to the injury.
Orthopedic injuries usually aren’t life-threatening so work on the stabilization of the bird first something called “re-establishing homeostasis” in veterinary terms.
Feathered facts about bird bones
We know that bird bones are hollow, enabling them to fly but what you might not know is these hollow bones are considered “pneumatic” bones that contain air filled canals aiding in the respiratory cycle during flight.
Feathered facts about bird skin
A bird’s skin is much more delicate and thinner than mammal skin and far less elastic.
The skin is secured firmly to the birds bones, especially in two highly mechanical areas, wings & feet.
The top layer of skin, the dermis holds smooth muscles and feather follicles which is how a bird determines the position of its feathers.
The tissue beneath the skin, (the subcutis) is made up of fat, striated muscles and connective tissue.
A broken bone is usually visible, a fracture sometimes can only be determined with an x-ray.
If your bird experiences a broken bone and your bird first aid kit is still on your shopping list you can resort to the Mitch-guyver method of treating avian orthopedic injuries.
A feather quill, cut from a flight feather can serve as a splint and can be wrapped with masking tape.
Feathered Factoid about birds wings
Falconers imp wings to keep the birds feathers in perfect shape.
Imping has been around for several thousand years.
https://youtu.be/g4wAT2a8u8I
Originally done with steel pins and vinegar (causing the steel pins to corrode binding the two halves of the feather) but now done with bamboo or the shafts of smaller feathers and what else - super glue.
You can see why we’re going to break this first aid thing into a bunch of different parts, but we’re hoping you feel the conversation will be worth it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DIw_quRXoU
Of course we didn’t forget the of list of 60 nasty things birds shouldn't be around - here you go:
Aerosols
Ammonia
Automobile exhaust/carbon monoxide
Bleach
Burning foods
Cold drafts
Cooking oils
Curtain weights
Deodorizers
Disinfectants
Dryer Sheets

We know why you read our blog.
We never list possible problems without providing solutions.
Deep breath
Let’s circle back to first aid.
Assuming you’ve taken the time to build your own bird first aid kit, it’s important to remember the basics.
Once you’ve assembled all the tools for your first aid kit you should wash them with antibacterial soap or clean them with steam cleaner and then wrap them in washcloths prior to storage.
This will help reduce the chance of bacteria causing zoonotic disease (diseases passed from humans to animals and vice versa).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POkLueHfTgY
I’m sure many of you seen the “mayhem” commercial by Allstate which does a nice job of what bringing what could happen into plain mental sight.
Let’s discuss some mayhem the bird “may” encounter.
Please keep in mind, were giving you the tools to perform bird first aid not avian surgery.
If your bird suffers a broken bone or severe burn, an emergency vet visit is in order.
If you can fix things - fix things, like broken blood feathers.
But if the bird is to end up at the vet use this information to stabilize the animal, make sure the injury is stabilized and the bird is toweled, warmed, crated and go!
Blood Feathers
The most common bird first aid issue you will encounter.
A bird can bleed to death from a single blood feather.
One thing you’ll want to know how to deal with in your bird’s lifetime is a blood feather.
https://youtu.be/VK3fsHUDgtU
There’s too many feathers and they come back on a regular basis, not to break occasionally - I guarantee it will happen to your bird in it’s lifetime. It’s a simple fix, learn how to do it here.
Bleeding of any kind
We’d much rather see you grind a birds toenails with an electric nail trimmer rather than clipping them.
Just 15 or 20 drops of blood, about a teaspoon represents approximately 10% of an average size cockatiel’s total blood in their system.
Some qwik stop clotting products are very effective while providing soothing antiseptic relief.
If you don’t have any on hand go to the pantry and get some cornstarch or go into the bathroom, grab a bar of soap and drag the bleeding nail across the bar soap.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POkLueHfTgY
Cross species bites
These can be devastating for bird.
I talk about a cockatiel that I had many years ago getting attacked by one of my dogs and surviving - here.
Dog and cat bites can cause infection from even small puncture rooms or worse major internal injuries and multiple bone fractures.
IF you feel the bird can be saved, do the drill - stabilize the bird, make sure the injury is stabilized and and the bird toweled, warmed, crated and go to the vet!
Fractured or broken bones in birds
We talked about broken bones and stabilizing the bird prior to seeking veterinary help, a couple weeks ago I want to touch on some other points.
There are so many ways a bird in or out of the cage can break a bone I’m amazed it doesn’t happen more often.
Wing feathers get caught in cage bars.
Toes get caught in the crack of an un-inspected wood toy.
You forget to notice the bird on the top of the bathroom cabinet door when you close it.
Sometimes you’re part of the trauma but sometimes you have to be a detective.
If you see a bird’s wing drooping or your bird can’t move it’s wing you’re probably dealing with a broken bone.
If a leg looks like is in a position that’s not normal or the leg is swollen or bruised, you’re probably dealing with a broken bone.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UufJlQmR78E
Know what you’re dealing with so you know how to deal with it. Learn how to deal with it here.
Overheated birds
Once again the possibilities are endless, from failed air-conditioners to birds left in hot cars while you’re running errands to and from the vet.
What your bird’s temperature comfort range?
If you’re comfortable your birds comfortable - If you’re hot you bird’s hot.
Pedialyte, a pediatric oral electrolyte solution administered in eyedropper is ideal.
Gatorade works too
A teaspoon of salt in a pint of water will work in a pinch. Mist entire bird with water.
Reduce the heat if at all possible with an air conditioner.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPr20-F8d0w
Bird burns
Steam, dinner cooking on the stove - hot soup or frying chicken.
Water type burns should be misted with cool water or the bird should be simply placed under a faucet.
For foot and leg burns, dip the extremity into a cup of ice water.
Use a topical antibiotic cream, nothing with grease especially things like butter.
Anything greasy will retain the heat.
Conversely if you’re dealing with the grease burn first use cornstarch to wick the oil and then run the bird under cold water.
Chemical or acid burns - think toilet bowl cleaner - flush the bird with cold water and then apply a mixture of baking soda and water as a light paste.
Alkali burns on birds from household cleaners that contain things like ammonia should be treated with running water and then vinegar to neutralize the chemical.
If your bird burnt its beak while chewing on the electrical cord that it’s been nibbling on for the past two months, you’re on your own.
We haven’t figured out how to treat beak burns.
My all-time favorite scenario is that you been smart enough to make sure the bird is not the kitchen while you cook.
Dinner’s over and your birds back in the kitchen with you helping you wash dishes expecting perhaps a sink bath.
While you’re thinking about how much fun the bath is going to be in just a few minutes, your bird decides that it wants to bathe now.
In less than 1.5 seconds, it hops off your back, lands on the cool edge of the pot on the stove and then plunges its chest into the very cool pot of oil that you used to fry tonight’s chicken.
Let's let that scenario sink in for a moment.
You will not panic because you read these newsletters weekly.
You will calmly grab and towel your bird.
Start by getting the oil out of the nares (nasal passages), mouth and eyes using a moist Q-tip.
Then clear a compartment in the sink, fill it with warm water and a few drops of dish soap.
Dawn dish soap is preferred by wildlife rehabbers.
Just keep washing the feathers and moving soapy water in the direction of the feathers.
Keep dipping the bird in and out of the water and then rinse and repeat.
Not a bad idea to use a blow dryer and even if it’s in the summer get that winter cage heater warmed up so the area around the cage is in the upper 80s until your feathered fluff ball is a fluff ball again.
Squawk at you next week

1,000+HP Hellcat You Can Buy RIGHT NOW From Petty’s Garage!
Having a car built to your tastes is never a cheap proposition, and finding a reputable shop that lives up to their promises, and that won’t rip you off can often be a gamble. In the car world, positive word-of-mouth advertising is the grease that oils the machine. Shops that are always busy know that a good reputation has to be earned and groomed. It’s a form of currency that never devalues. When Patrick Lynch went looking for a place to have a Challenger Hellcat massaged, he didn’t have to search long or hard. Based on the positive experience his dad had with his Corvette when it was being customized at Petty’s Garage in Randleman, NC, it was a journey already half traveled. That level of trust was extremely important to him in the whole process. Due to his work commitments, he couldn’t be the guy who comes to the shop a few times a week to check on the status of his car. Most of his time is spent working in the United Kingdom, so this Hellcat build was literally phoned in.
The foundation the guys at Petty’s had to work with was a brand spanking new 2016 Plum Crazy Challenger Hellcat with just 65 clicks on the odometer. From the other side of the pond, Patrick had initiated the whole process by tracking it down and purchasing it at a dealership that was near the shop. He was looking for the full Monty on the Challenger, which meant more power, better handing, custom graphics, and an interior upgrade, and at Petty’s they know a thing or two on how to ratchet things up on Mopars.
Once the car was delivered, it all came down to taking what was already there and improving on it. With 707 horses on tap in stock Hellcat trim, moving the power band north was the central focus of the build, however, at Petty’s they know that once you slide the bar forward, it also means that other components need to be reinforced. Beginning with the power plant, for the guys in the engine shop, the almost virginal Gen-III Hemi that came with the car was the perfect starting point. No molestation or abuse meant it was like cracking open a new crate engine. All it needed was stronger internals.
It doesn’t get any more deceptive than this. Anyone lifting the hood will think this Hellcat Hemi is bone stock and only has a mere 707 horses. There are no subtle hints that over 1,000 horses can be unleashed from its 426 stealthy cubes.
Starting with the stock cast-iron block, Petty’s swapped out the factory crank with a Manley Pro Series stroker 4340 forged steel unit that pushed displacement to 426 cubes. They also installed Mahle 9.5:1 2618 forged aluminum pistons and Manley Steel H-beam connecting rods. The factory cam also got tossed in favor of a custom grind piece spec’d at .613-/.620-inch lift, and 227/235 degrees of duration. From there, the top end also saw a list of changes. While the A356 “Apache” aluminum cylinder heads were retained, they were treated to extensive porting and polishing. The factory hollow stemmed valves were also swapped in favor of Manley Race Series stainless steel intake and exhaust valves and PSI beehive valve springs. The rest of the valve train was also beefed up to handle the extra power.
For the forced induction side of the equation, many would opt to replace the factory Hellcat IHI supercharger with a suitcase-sized blower, however, Petty gets it done with an ATI Super Damper 10-percent overdrive harmonic balancer and a Metco 2.65 supercharger pulley mounted on the stock factory IHI-sourced blower. Better breathing goes hand-in-hand with more horsepower, which also requires less restriction expelling spent energy, and while the stock Hellcat exhaust system is quite efficient, Petty’s has found that Kooks high-flow cats and mid-pipes mated to a Magnaflow 3-inch Competition cat-back exhaust system is the ticket for pushing things up.
Here you can see the mounting points for the Energy Suspension polyurethane bushings. These help reduce wheel hop under hard acceleration. Also note the G-Force Engineering half shafts which easily swallow huge amounts of torque through-put.
Surprisingly, backing up the additional ponies is left to the stock Hellcat 8-speed 8HP90 TorqueFlite. Based on their experience with the numerous builds they’ve done, they feel that the unmolested automatic is more than capable of handing the additional power. While that’s the case in the shifting department, the Hellcat is notorious for the dreaded rear-wheel hop when you nail it, and adding more power just magnifies that problem. From a builder’s perspective, the challenge is to eliminate the wheel hop while maintaining real-world ride quality.
Petty’s multi-faceted solution to remedy that issue was to reinforce everything behind the transmission. They started with a one-piece aluminum driveshaft from the Driveshaft Shop. From there, they dropped the rear cradle and swapped out the factory cradle bushings with a polyurethane set from Energy Suspensions. They also replaced the factory half-shafts with a set of G-Force Performance 31-spline Outlaw axles. These are machined billet steel units that are good for 1,500 horses and mate right up to the stock Hellcat IRS housing shod with 2.62:1 gears.
Out with the plastic, in with aluminum. The in-house fabricated rear spoiler is a nod to Petty’s NASCAR roots and their fabrication capabilities. The bonus is that it not only looks good, but it actually works at speed with additional downforce.
The last piece of the wheel-hop remedy was to add their fully adjustable rear coilover suspension and adjustable 22mm sway bar kit in conjunction with a rear shock tower brace. The same treatment was executed at the front with the installation of their adjustable coilover suspension, adjustable 35mm sway bar kit, and single strut-tower brace tucked behind the blower. The addition of the front and rear braces stiffens the chassis to help counteract the increased torque stress on the unibody. How confident are they with this setup? Will Cheek of Petty’s Garage, states: “Our suspension setup is a perfect combination for both street and track use. We offer this suspension package with a warranty on our website for any third-generation Hemi car.”
All the mechanical work wasn’t the only thing on Patrick’s laundry list. The rolling stock that comes on the Hellcat is both attractive and functional, especially when it hasn’t been flogged to death, but they too were tossed in favor of Petty-branded ForgeLine three-piece wheels and Continental ExtremeContact tires. The front wheels retain the standard 20 x 9.5 factory size, while at the rear they grow an additional inch with a set of 20 x 10.5 units, which allows for a wider tire to further facilitate rear bite. The choice for the Continental skins comes down to having a tire that hooks up better than the OEM Pirelli P Zeros, and still retains a blend of dry and wet road performance. You might say that hooking up is really the underlying theme with all the suspension upgrades.
The factory Hellcat interior has been largely retained by Petty’s Garage—upgraded Katzskin seats with Petty’s Garage embroidery, and Richard Petty’s trademark signature on the dash being the exceptions.
Moving over to the visual side, the Hellcat has quite a presence, and one dressed in fresh factory Plum Crazy paint is nothing short of pure eye candy, so it almost makes you wonder what could be done to improve on that. How about a set of stripes? That’s exactly what the guys at Petty’s did on Patrick’s Hellcat, however, they didn’t just slap on some cheap vinyl and call it a day. They did it the old-fashioned way and painted it all on, right down to the Petty’s Garage logo at each flank. Why go the extra mile? Will Cheeks says, “It’s just a cleaner look.” Taking that one step further, they also removed the plastic looking front chin spoiler and rear lower fascia and sprayed them to match the Plum Crazy body color, while the hood was painted gloss black. All this fresh paint was then sealed in clear and buffed. At the tail end, the plastic rear Hellcat spoiler was also removed. In its place they added a NASCAR-flavored rear spoiler. It’s a fully functional piece that is made from .125-inch aluminum stock and is supposed to add rear down force at speeds as low as 60 mph. They’re handmade in-house by the same guys who craft the sheet metal on the race cars, and if you want one for your Challenger, they’ll sell you one right from their website.
The last piece in this makeover was the interior, which like the rest of the Challenger, was as fresh as the day it rolled out of the dealer’s showroom floor. It might be a bit of a head scratcher that it would also get replaced, but it did with another offering from the Petty’s Garage catalog. Their Katzkin leather package comes with double-stitched seams and the Petty’s Garage logo embroidered on the seat.
The addition of a rear shock tower brace has a profound impact on the structural rigidity of the chassis. Combined with the front brace, body stiffness is greatly enhanced, which allows the extra power the engine is laying down to be delivered in a more even distribution.
At this point we stop looking at all the trim and get down to the bottom line, which of course means crunching some real numbers. The stock Hellcat is a beast, and we didn’t even mention the Demon, simply because when we photographed this car, the Demon was still a cartoon on SRT’s website. With that in mind, on the dyno the guys at Petty’s pushed Patrick’s Hellcat over 1,000 horses and 920 lb-ft. of torque at the flywheel on 110 octane unleaded race fuel running one of their custom performance tunes. They also did some pulls running 93 unleaded with a milder tune and managed 925 horses and 875 lb-ft. of torque. Those were some pretty stout numbers, which verify the need for all the additional driveline upgrades. Now all that needs to happen is for Patrick to come back to this side of the pond and enjoy his new mount!
