HI folks
one of Soloās tail feathers has snapped in half, this happened about a month ago too
anyway itās an old one that needs replacing. Thereās no blood through it and itās just hanging by a tiny little bit of dry shaft.
he has been preening his tail a fair bit today especially this feather, but he hasnāt pulled/bitten it apart yet.
should I cut it off at the break or just let him preen it off. I expect he will be left with a 2 inch stubb like the last one, until it falls out.
he has already got a new pin feather in his tail (I saw it in the shower)
heās is ātameā but not really an accepting calm character and I may stress/anger him by trying to get to his tail.
grateful for your advise x
