Plucking?

Sassy · Dec 17, 2012

The feathers I'm finding from Neytiri have the ends of the shaft flattened. Should I be concerned or is it possible she just grabbing them too hard while preening? I'm finding only 1-2 feathers a week. Am I a panicking new mom?

Thanks.

I don't know, but 2 feathers a week sounds normal.

I think that is pretty normal I have alot more Feathers than that in a Week from Codie.

Jasper just turned a year old and I have been starting to worry on this a bit myself. I know he's getting into a pretty good molt now but his chest feathers to me are starting to look a little ragged. That is like my biggest fear in the world.

Keep us posted on her red feathers, if she loses them after her molt, I'm curious to know.

So am I. I pray she keeps them. Others from the same parents kept theirs.
