Poor Kiwi was 'mistreated' by his mommy today He has been molting and he has had a wonky tail feather that looked ready to come out for 2 days now. I took him down to the post annex (like I do many days) and some lady asked me "why is his tail like that?" in a very sneery/accusitory voice When we got home, I decided it was time for that feather to go:54: and gave it a GENTLE tug (like I have on a million and one "ready to go" feathers before) and instead of coming out, it snapped in half!?:52: It wasn't a blood feather or anything, but kind of wondering if the part that is still on him will irritate him or anything? Poor guy gave me the mega evil eye I feel bad that I didn't just pluck him, I broke the poor little guys feather.
