Soooo over the past year or so Jasper has decided he doesn't need his down feathers! *Sigh* He's removed all of them from his body, and as soon as a new one comes in, out it goes . I haven't been able to figure out what's going on.
I've been WFH for nearly a year now because of the pandemic (and BTW I have to say I LOVE having this much time with him, I never want to go back) so I'm with him 24/7, he seems happy, still playing with toys although more bells than other toys it seems...I HAVE been lacking on the foraging so I'm probably to blame there...
I haven't had blood work done in a few years now since that stint with low calcium so once spring hits and it's safe to get him to to the vet (it's -20 right now and I need to do the car rental stuff) I'll get that checked out.
Anyone else hear of only removing down feathers??
Side note just in the past couple weeks he HAS started to remove a few of his normal green feathers. A friend who had a rescue for many years (the one who took him in a few years back when he was having troubles) said it could be hormones as well. He HAS been very sexually frustrated but his "wiggle blanket" is doing its job, lol.
Cheers
