Luckily the bird was sleepy, he didn't fight back at all, the other I killed myself tried to peck her eye! You really have to be veeeery careful.
I was also worried about the beak's position while she was constricting him. And finally, they told me of a phyton who now eats just birds, can you imagine what it means when he's 20kg? You know what? Mice are the best. But I have to take out the wheel from their enclosure, there's a high risk of affection with this last one, he's so playful...
