I have heard the GCC have a preen gland at the base of the body in the area where the tail feathers begin (on the top side). But, I don't know what it looks like. When we first adopted Tiki, I looked for it and couldn't really see anything, but a couple of days ago I saw a white downy feather right at the spot that it should be. Is this the preen gland, does it look like a downy white feather, and does it not develop until around age 4-5 months? I thought it strange that it wasn't there until now. Tiki is 21 weeks old.
Thanks.
Thanks.
