The leg bumps are a perplexing problem for captive starlings, and despite decades of captive starling care I don't believe anyone has figured out exactly why. There's quite a few proposed causes but the leading theory I believe is impacts with hard surfaces like hardwood that they wouldn't normally encounter in the wild.

Bowie's legs, before and after treatment respectively:

After treatment Bowie's leg bumps did become smaller and less prominent and no longer seemed inflamed/bothered her. There is still some residual bumpiness there but you can definitely see an improvement, and it no longer seems to be an irritant to her.

What I used was dimethyl sulfoxide, or DMSO, diluted 1:9 DMSO to water. DMSO is a solvent sometimes used topically to treat inflammation in various animals. It was recommended to me by my avian vet who has decades of experience, and I trust his judgement, but your mileage may vary. DMSO is approved by the FDA for treatment in dogs and horses for topical inflammation treatment. That being said, please conduct your own research and consult your avian vet before purchasing DMSO and treating your pet with it. I don't have the spoons to really dive deep into the literature right now, so I'm trusting my avian vet knows what he's talking about. Here's a bit more info on its use in dogs and horses if you're curious.

Also, unless your bird is actively picking at the bumps, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Bowie got DMSO treatment because the inflammation was bothering her. It's completely fine to leave them if they aren't causing irritation.

WHAT IS DMSO AND WHERE DOES IT COME FROM? SassMaggs @Jjulian6412 ‘DMSO, or dimethyl sulfoxide, is a colorless liquid used as a powerful solvent. DMSO is a natural substance that is produced by trees and is obtained through the processing of wood pulp. Over the years, DMSO has been the subject of numerous studies, and many researchers have found that it has many potential health benefits…’…

What You Need To Know About DMSO

here is some of my recent research into DMSO.  It was mixed with the stuff in the image below, water added.  The DMSO allowed the penetration into the teeth to fight the infection.    Its on my list of stuff to try out.  

anyone ever hear of this for fighting teeth infections? DMSO for oral health...UNN Field Messenger Ali shares his positive experience with a natural remedy for oral hygiene called Miracle Mineral Solution (MMS).>  Watch 24-JAN-23  #221 HOLISTIC ORAL HYGIENE https://unitednetwork.tv/videos/24-jan-23-221-holistic-oral-hygiene

The DMSO used in combo creates this Master Mineral Solution.  MMS, that looks to have many uses to stop parasites and bugs in the body. https://mmstestimonials.co/tooth-problem

the reviews of the use speak for  themselves.  

In 1996 a man named Jim Humble discovered that a simple water purification substance (which at the time was used worldwide) was effective in eradicating malaria. After the first cases of malaria were recovered, Jim went on to develop a formula using this substance mixed with a food grade acid—he called it MMS (Master Mineral Solution). Since that time MMS has proven to restore partial or full health to hundreds of thousands of people suffering from a wide range of diseases. MMS is a weak oxidizer that when used properly can run through the human body destroying disease pathogens and the poisons that they create, while doing no harm to the body. It is estimated that more than 20,000,000 people have used MMS to date and there have been hundreds of thousands of lives saved and many more improved. Up-to-date and complete detailed information on MMS and how to use it to recover health is found in Jim's latest book, The MMS Health Recovery Guidebook available at: jhbooks.org

DMSO

Mmm… just check out that pair of methyl groups…

Also known as DiMethylSulfOxide, also known as (CH3)2SO, this chemical acts as a skeleton key to your skin’s pores, allowing for rapid transdermal delivery of whatever substances are mixed with the delivery chemical. You can either patiently wait for your target to stand still while you gently brush it on, or violently splat them with the…

Ares Squirt

Just as a warming to readers, if you do an image search for “Ares Squirt” you get two DRASTICALLY different types of results, only one of which is relevant for our purposes.

This particular weapon wouldn’t get a picture until the 2nd Edition Corporate Security Handbook, and I certainly am not searching for the Ares Supersquirt after what I’ve seen.

This is, literally, a squirt gun. A messier alternative to the Narcoject Pistol.

Atropine

Atropine is a tranquilizing nerve agent derived form the belladonna (nightshade) plant.

That’s right. Another Anthrax reference.

ACTH

The AdrenoCortiTrophic Hormone is what’s responsible for stimulating the adrenal gland in the human body, or in the Sixth World, for kick-starting the Adrenal Pump.

Because there’s nothing more badhoop than hitting an inhaler before combat.

MAO

No, not that one.

There we go. MonoAmine Oxidase is an enzyme that oxidizes monoamines.

Duh.

- They were selling cryonic freezing for interstellar travel before they had the whole "unfreezing" thing down to a science

- Most of the time when ADA mentions luck or something implying luck she will follow up with "luck doesn't exist" which seems to reference SPECIAL vs Luck not being in the game engine; and it's also very much in character for an artificial intelligence

- Constable Reyes collects fingers for bounties, which almost certainly has to be a New Vegas Bounties reference

- The bolt-on windows on all the prefab buildings has to reference all the places in New Vegas where the inside and outside don't match because they had an unreasonably small time budget

- Robophobia is likely to be the first flaw offered to a new player; which is a BIT fucky when there's an automechanical companion

- Almost all of the working class NPCs have some degree of facial scarring due to the piss poor working conditions

- Dimethyl Sulfoxide is a very real chemical, usually abbreviated as DMSO. It's a penetrating agent usually mixed with another drug to make it transdermally available, which at least makes it scientifically-fientifically plausible that it would be useful in thawing people from cryonic stasis
