My brother is back from the US for summer, he has just met Phoebus, he likes him but he is very indifferent about doing what is right for a bird and he thinks that taking proper care, the way we think of it in this forum, is like we are overdoing it or have nothing better to do.I don't argue with him on this, though I have tried to explain, because we love each other a lot .
So Phoebus has a corner in the kitchen which is his ''room'' for sleep.He was sleeping last night and I told my brother not to turn the light on and make as less noise as he could, my parents totally respect this,he had to go to the kitchen to take some medicine, but on the contrary he turned the light on, making too much noise....
Phoebus was awakened, he then wouldn't sleep for an hour or more,I fell asleep with great guilt, I would listen to him chewing his toys, an hitting his bell strongly, I got up once went and told him not to worry, and to go back to sleep...
This morning I took the cover of his cage off, and there was a bunch of feathers spread all over the cage.He plucked the s**t out of him in the night, he had almost stopped plucking at all, hadn't plucked for many days, not even a feather, and he was growing his new ones with deeper and brighter colours...
I was so sad I couldn't wait for time to pass at work, I went and bought him some new toys, and he is now playing happily next to me...
I totally freaked out and wanted to tell you...Do you think he will go back to plucking again, from the begining?It's such a pitty....He had almost fully recovered and so beautifull....![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Sorry for making it so long, I just wanted to tell you because only you can understand how I feel....![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
