Hi everyone,

My Quaker Parrot, Blu, who is about 8/8.5 months old now has lost all his tail feathers. I think its because they scrape along the cage and eventually pull out. It doesnt seem to bother him but what I would like to know or ask is, will they eventually grow back?

A Quaker's long tail is especially vulnerable to damage from getting bumped into things. Ordinarily, new tail feathers do grow in eventually.
