Hi everyone :)
Are a green cheeks blue flight feathers visible when they grow in?
Right now Larry's wings are clipped which is how I received him when I got him.
All you can really see is green, except when you look underneath his wings the blue is visible.

They'll grow nice and long and slightly overlap when they're at their full length. It's such a gorgeous blue to look at too. :)

Speaking of feathers... Do they need to actually drop their feather in order to get new ones? Both of my gccs were clipped when I got them and they haven't grown at all that I can see. Also, Monte has broken most of her tail feathers and has no new ones growing in yet.

Oh wonderful! I can't wait to see Larry with his blue flight feathers.
Larry is going on 16 weeks of age. Approximately how long should it take for the flight feathers to grow? I can see how they were clipped about halfway.

Good question Montesmom, sorry I can't help you with an answer to your question about feathers, but I will keep checking back hoping someone here will have an answer.

You'll have to wait for his first molt. It should happen sometime between 5 months and a year.
