Last night just before bedtime Syd did his usual trick of going crazy and was flying haphazardly around the room when suddenly I heard a squawk and a crash.
I'm not sure what he did or how but there he was in a heap half in and half out of a basket on the floor. He happily stepped up and I was horrified to find a medium length tail feather that looked as if it had broken off in the crash. Some minutes later there was another. My heart sank as I safely put him to bed.
This morning I was reluctant to let him fly at all and held my breath as he finally launched himself fully expecting him to be limited in height or direction. But no - he looks fine and certainly as cheeky as ever. Somewhere in that feather quilt that he wears are 2 broken feather stubs - presumably he will do what is necessary.
