Oscar has finally come out of his cone of shame. His skin has healed and he's mostly re-feathered. Unfortunately, because he couldn't preen properly, some of the new down matted up, since I'm not a very good bird and didn't preen him properly either, despite my best efforts.
So of course he's going to be preening, and if my efforts to preen him are any indication, there will be at least some feather loss as he preens the mats out. But the real question is this: how on earth do I tell the difference between expected feather loss from normal preening and actual plucking that would require me to put the blasted cone back on him?
