- Enzo - adopted Female CAG circa 2004. A truly amazing young lady!
Hi, I video'd enzo in slow motion some time ago and noticed a few flight feathers missing. I found that the missing feathers where there but had snapped with only an inch or so of actual feather remaining. Enzo pulled one of them out last night and i was surprised at just how large the 'quill' bit was. Having had budgies and a cockatiel before Enzo, a CAGs flight feather is massive!
Ive heard that if a blood feather snaps you have to pull it out or the bird can bleed to death, i hope i dont get in that position as id imagine some force would be needed to extract it.
