Hey all,
This is my first time posting. Me and my girlfriend just got a Pineapple GCC named Kiki from Petco and without asking the caretaker went in the back and clip its wings. This would have been okay, but this person clearly had no idea what she was doing. She cut all the feathers (Coverts, primaries, secondaries, and tertiaries) so far up that there is almost nothing left. It looks like she took office scissors to it's wings. It is obvious that Kiki is in a great deal of discomfort. I was wondering if any of you might have any ideas of how we can lessen Kiki's discomfort. I can't think of anything other than plucking the old feather to let new ones grow in, but that seems a bit extreme. Please help.
