Itās the first time we notice her doing this. She has been pulling out a lot of down feathers today, mostly on her chest. We try to distract her but she goes right back to doing it.
Sheās been scratching a bit more than usual lately.
Sheās not touching her feathers though...just the down feathers. Is this a ādown featherā moult thing? Sheās also been in a bad mood all day...not playing with her toys and not wanting to play ball with me (which she usually loves). Sheās eating fine and all, though...
She has a few pin feathers popping up here and there, mostly in her nape and rump area. Could it be the dryness of the air? Weāve got a humidifier going and she gets at least one mist a day.
Hope sheās not starting to feather pluck...
