Blood loss from a clipped feather can be severe, even life-threatening. One tip is to hold the feather stump at 90 degrees to a bar of soap, and then push the feather deep into the soap, so the latter forms a plug (like a cork in a bottle). If this doesn't work, contact a veterinarian urgently. The feather may need to be cauterized in order to stem the flow, but do not attempt this at home.
