Hi! I have a 17-month-old Green Cheek conure. His feathers are blackened on the tips quite strongly. I have read many things about what could be causing it, from diet to over-preening. I've changed his diet from mostly seeds to Roudybush Mini Maintenance Pellets, which he loves. His weight...

Hi everyone, My 8 mo old parrotlet was sitting on my shoulder while I was doing some things around the house, and I noticed that she was nibbling on a large primary feather that I'm guessing she likely pulled out!!!!! OMG! She was holding the feathered part with her foot, and was fooling around...

So do feathers not grow at all except for during a molt? So my GCC baby's flight feathers were cut very short by the breeder--3 months ago. She's almost 6 months old now and there's been little to no growth. So she might not be able to fly until next year sometime??
