She has lots of new feathers growing in. She has two big blue primaries (one on each wing), a new secondary on each wing, and two more primaries I've just noticed growing in (one on each wing). She lost two clipped primaries yesterday too. I can see the two big primaries sticking out all the time now. She looks so pretty.





Hard to see, but this is a new primary growing in (it has a down feather stuck to it).





And sadly, some of her new feathers have bronzing on them because she keeps over preening. These two coverts are chewed with bronzing on them.



A few green feathers with no bronzing.








She was scratching herself while under a blanket. It was adorable.

Cookie is so adorable, Emily! Her feathers are growing in quite nicely, it must feel great to see some new fresh ones coming in :) I can never get over how sweet she looks and happy she looks.

Emily, I think Cookie looks SO much better overall though. She's so cute and happy as always. :)

Actually, cookie looks like she improving a a lot! Lots of fresh, unbronzed feathers are in. My conures feathers were all bronzy with stress bars at first also, but it just gets better and better with time and a good diet. Sunshine (dappled) helps tremendously, which also stimulates the desire to bathe. After a year and a half, his bronzed feathers are gone, but it took a while (2 moults). :)
