Hello bird lovers, I have a patient that needs your help.
My Patient is a Congo African grey. She has no wing feathers and therefore is having a problem balancing and she has no self confidence. The poor bird is frightened about the world, if we give her some wing feathers, she can balance and she will develop some self confidence. We plan to do procedure on he known as imping. This is procedure of replacing the missing feathers with donor feathers. The is where your help is vital to this procedure, which will give this bird s better quality of life. We need Congo African grey feathers; more specifically we need primary and secondary wing feathers from both wings, and tail feathers. Please send only whole feathers that have been naturally molted from healthy birds. You can make a difference for this bird. Please send them to me at my hospital - The Bird Hospital: Avian Veterinary Services, Attention Dr. Greg Burkett, 3039 University Durham, NC, 27707.
