So my girl, through careless flying and rolling around, has managed over the past year to break every feather on the left side of her tail in half.
I was wondering if the best course of action is to pluck some feathers out so that new ones might grow, or if I should just wait for them to molt.
Normally I'd leave them alone, but she's no longer able to turn left mid-air very well, and I'm worried about her safety. I don't want to damage the follicle, but I don't want her flying into a wall either.
Any thoughts?
